Lac Blanc was still frozen

But the view was great

Like seals on a rock on the California coast, oui?

And use them; the terrain can be demanding, even the level
parts
|
But the scenery is good
|
Very good (the Chamonix Aiguilles)
|
It is all part of the 110 mile Tour du Mont Blanc, which we
walked back in 2005
|
Chamonix and Mont Blanc from the Aiguille
Rouge
|
Another kilometer and a couple hundred meters' climb to
the finish line (we were tired, too, by this time)
|
Le home stretch, agonizingly up-hill; but supporters lining
the way
|
The finish line, nicely framing the Mountain; we took the
Praz Plan telepherique back down to town and spent the
rest of the day recovering
