Col du Palet, Col de la Tourne

The hike starts with the greetings of Mr Marmot, obviously not bothered to have his house so close to the trail.
climbing up above the lake. nice to see the sun again!


Hey! Is this guy following me??
Getting closer to the first col, the col du Palet
And up and over. I am following the ridge trail to find a place to eat


Here is my spot. with a view on the next valley,
the north face of the Grande Casse
and other suspended glaciers...
I saw these edelweiss too! First time in my life I see some!


Ok, time to move on, towards the east now.

Here's now the climb to the second col.
I see you, fattie!



Yay! No more climbing!

It's all downhill for... ever!!!!
Still not there...
Getting closer - now I see lifts
MTB trails
And...home
