To the end of the world

Day 2 #

For our second day we choose an easier route - driving to Joux Plane at 1691m, walking to La Borgeoise, then north to Pointe d’Angolon.

Day 3 #

Following the Giffre stream uphill to the source, we got to ‘Le Bout du Monde’ (The end of the world) - which rewards with a spectacular view back through the valley.

A brown and white goat with horns stares straight at the camera, with it’s mouth open. It’s stood on a branch of a tree above the photographer.
