What a day Les Contamines to Les Chapieux

Today we met the real alps. We climbed 1300m and decended 900m. This was equivalent to the hardest day climbing Kilimanjaro.

Today was also a day of many highlights

A grassy mound with a view over the valley making a great picnic spot in the sun.

The amazing sense of achievement when we reached our highpoint Col at 24m4. I had been walking on autopilot 

for about an hour and when we reached the top i instantly had a spring in my step.

The path was busy today as a second route had merged with us. We could see the numbers as we wound slowly up the mountain.

I will leave the photos to describe the views.
