Sunday's Hike

Our hike on Sunday took us from one ski area to another, at about 1,460 meters (4,800 feet). We started climbing through the woods, getting respites when we reached meadows.

The views were amazing in all directions; here you can see Mont Blanc in the distance.


We took a wrong turn towards the middle of the hike and never made it to the second ski area; however, we got a good view of it from above. And we had a bad descent at the end, on a trail covered in tree roots and rocks!
When we returned to the gite, we changed clothes and went into Thônes to hear a choral concert by a group of students attending a music school in Lyon. Their voices were lovely and they enjoyed performing to a large audience in the local church. After the concert, they hung out in front of the church and we enjoyed a snack at a cafe.
