We decided to go up to the mountains one day on the weekend for a walk starting at Col de la Faucille. This town lies at an altitude of 1323 meters. We discovered some beautiful wildflowers, a spectacular view of Mont Blanc, and took a ride on the luge!
Fly landing zone.
We ate a picnic while looking at the view in the valley on the other side.
Mont Blanc. When you can see this mountain (which is rare), people say: "the mountain is out" which I find amusing as it's the same expression people use in Seattle for Mt. Rainier (also a rare sighting)!

Ooo, that luge looks like fun! And those blues and greens are so striking. Looks like paradise over there.
Sounds like you had the perfect day.
Virginia: It was still pretty scary even with no snow or ice!
Cheryl: It was a lovely day. It is nice to be so close to the mountains. Now, if some of the people would leave...
OH I so want to try luging.
Not only is the mountain out, but wow that is a stunning picture of the outed mountain.
Cele: You should! If you like rollercoasters, you'd probably like it. I don't much like the rollercoasters, but figured I had to try it since I was there!
