The first whisper of winter dusts the peaks above 3000 meters.

Lac de la Muzelle

Making  the most of the one bit of sun this week, Thanks for the day off Chris. A hefty walk setting off from 989m towards Lac Lauvitel then through and to the Col du Vallon, crossing the saddle at 2540m and descending down the other side to Lac Muzelle and the refuge for a wee myrtille tart before limping down the hill for a final 3km track back to van sweet van. A massive 10 Hours.

The last few photos from the Winter. Some time spent in L2A enjoying views of the Muzelle before packing up in Alpe D’huez to catch the train back. Its always a shock arriving back in metropolis after a long stint in the mountains. Being faced with a sea of people whilst trying to navigate your luggage through stations isn’t a gentle re-introduction. I’ve thought a lot this Winter of the differences between natural formations and those man made.   What kind of effect does being surrounded by nature on a grand scale have on the brain and is that a positive one?  Equally does being surrounded by things man made have the opposite effect.   For me it certainly does.
