Alps

Mountains and glaciars

Hiking up the wrong route!

The last part of our summer vacation was spent in the French Alps hiking and climbing. To be more exact we were in the valley of Valgaudemar in the Ecrins national park. I have to say we were really lucky because it stopped raining when we arrived and it did not rain (much) for the whole week while we were there.

Every day consisted of a different activity. We went hiking up mountains and saw lots of animals (cow, sheep, marmots, and an ibex). We looked for raspberries and made a pie with them. We went mushroom hunting. We (actually not me) found some genepì and made genepì liquor (I actually did the easy part).

I was a really nice week and I can't wait to go back!
