July 18, 2024,Marche : Tournée des lacs 🇫🇷

An outing on the very stony paths leaving from the station (which I almost never do but I was not alone). Lots of stones, lakes, sun and obviously magnificent landscapes.
Small foray on a more challenging section to see how things looked, well it's rocky but it's going pretty well.
Good day !

A hike I never miss when I visit my cousins in Saint Martin d'Uriage. In addition to the traditional spots, there are now new lookouts and the famous Himalayan footbridge. I was accompanied by my niece Eleanor. A beautiful Sunday!
