Way back to home…
It’s time to head home, our three weeks coming to an end soon.
1. From Colle della Maddalena, we go down the Ubaye valley and we stop for a picnic on the banks of this beautiful river.
2. Window from the Girabeau Pass under the Parpaillon Pass, with the Serre-Ponçon Lake in the distance.
3. We make a detour via the Glandon and Croix-de-Fer passes. Obligatory passage by Lake Guichard while the Arves Needles disappear in the storm.
4. Along the trail…
5. Chruch in l’Eglise, above Saint-Martin-de-la-Porte, as we descend after finding a closed barrier on the trail VivaLaVida wanted to drive.
6. We reach Aravis mountain range for a last night in VivaLaVida.
7. In the distance, the Arpettaz Pass as the storm prepares.
8. Our boondocking spot.
9. Stormy atmosphere…
10. On a walk to discover the surroundings.
11. To shelter before the thunderstorm.
12. The next morning, we go to pick blueberries spotted the day before. Yum!!
13. End of summer vacation selfie. 😉
That’s it for this little trip obviously too short. Thank you for following us through this little blog.
VivaLaVida will resume service for the next weekends and for the October holidays. I’ll feed this page with new articles during next fall.
See you soon and thanks again for your loyalty ! 🙂
