A pass with a very beautiful view of the steep eastern ridge edge as far as the Grand Veymont in the south and the Grande Moucherolle in the north. The two highest peaks of the Vercors from one point...

The active holiday continues!
Hiked to the Tete des Chaudieres with Johanna today. Unfortunately, the route profile was a bit simple: 800 meters up - 800 meters down. But otherwise: Great landscape, great weather, very awesome 360 degree view, cheese sandwich at the summit and the chamois were also seen. Beautiful day :)
