This is a dynamite pole: several charges to blow avalanches from a distance (this is above an exposed segment of the road to Tignes). Quite impressive!
The trail is finally climbing up towards the pass.
And it gets quite snowy! Bummer for me, I am wearing shorts and low hiking shoes.
The pass is over there, at the end of the trail.
And ... there!
You can't really tell on the picture, but the wind is blowing pretty hard. I took shelter against that rock to have a snack,
facing the valley I came from,
and wondering if I could take a shortcut on the way down following the ridge... hhm maybe not.
A rabbit was here!
After eating quickly I hurried down to warm up a little bit, taking some time to admire the glacier of the Dome de la Sache.
Another good day up in the mountains.
It's funny to be writing this post and looking at this pictures from the summer: right now, I am sitting in front of gate 68 in Salt Lake City, looking at very a different kind of mountains in the back. Honey, I'm home! :)
