Our next target sleepover was another dam, this time high up on the Italian side, a place called Lac du Beauregard. We wound our way up past the Italian ski stations until we were just below the glacier line along the narrowest little roads, cantilevered in some areas off the edge of the cliffs. Being in Italy there were no barriers, and in some areas where the road was crumbling away, there was just a bit of Herras fencing to stop you going too close to the edge! We were struggling to get anywhere to turn the van around, never mind finding a camping spot, until we can to a small turning circle that then became our home for the night. Whilst it was unusual, the location with Torrent Bouc that created a massive waterfall, the glaciers and the rugged mountains formed a very impressive backdrop to our stay.
