450  Km.

          We depart soon from Pinerolo with ours pic-nic, and there we immediately do one shot on for the val Chisone, thin to to reach Sestriere.  

         After a mouthful of air still very fresh,  we continue I pour the hill of the  Monginevro and then we go down to Briançon “the country where the there is   sun 365 days the year”! it is a  very characteristic country for his historical center assembled all in her “ citadel of the bunker” with so many shops and kiosks of each  kind  

          After a brief walk inside the citadel, we jump in saddle and down in the tortuous roads of the fund valley up to reach the alternative of Guillestre, from there we take for Embrun and we reach the beautiful lake of Savine.   

         We decide to cross him/it on the long bridge and, comes beyond once, we make the standstill for the lunch, walking along the mythical one “desert” left in low water by the lake.  

         We cross the road that surrounds the lake from the south slope, very beautiful and with a sight spectacular on rock-cliffs and indentations that give a bright green color to the water.
