End of summer high peaks ride: Cirque de Troumouse, Barrage des Gloriettes & Col de Tentes. Awesome rugged beauty!

Lunch at Lou Bigourdan. Cheers! Spot the off menu dessert. Tiramisu was fantastic too, mind. Best to try both, ja?

Bit misty on this morning's stroll. Love me some sunburst action

Working on shades positioning. How's this? Feeling great, new fastest time climbing Col d'Aspin! #OlderIsStronger?

Appero time is a little different when last night's guests didn't quiet finish the bubbly. Well - someone has to!

Stopping to chat with the neighbours on this morning's misty walk.

TdF Tourmalet day. Great atmosphere. No rain but maybe not so later? Loving my #FullyPro sunny placement - LOL!

Viaduc de Chapeauroux (& matching bridge we crossed). Impressive structures for a tiny village in middle of nowhere!

Alpe d'Huez: super famous cycling climb but village not v.pretty. Luckily return via Villard-Reculas is spectacular!

Sunshine: check! Pool: check! Snow-capped mountains behind us: check! Smiles: check! Almost feels like a holiday!

Col pics sans velo? Avec femme will have to do Came up North side on super tiny road - defo by bike next time!

Today's ride: social spin up Col de la Forclaz, which means... snack stop! Ham & cheese galettes all round - nom!

Obligatory, 'seek out Asian food whenever in a town larger than we are used to' lunch photo. Yin Ba, Annecy. Nom!

Park in central Annecy at lunchtime? No chance! But let's have a look. Arrived just as this spot was vacated. Lucky!

Short stroll this morning by the shores of Lake Geneva. A dip might have been tempting last night, but not right now!

We were given free public transport passes in Switzerland, so on our last day here used on cable car to Hasliberg

Lunch stop by Lake Brienz - on our way to Innertkirchen. Thankfully having more luck with Swiss weather this year

Back into Wengen to catch the train 'home' to our camping. Some particularly well kept gardens here. Beautiful place.

Heading back downhill now. Back through more beautiful forest. First time I've seen purple pine cones!

Out of the forest to spectacular views down the Lauterbrunnen valley. Another amazing Swiss hiking experience!

Heading out of Wengen on a little hike today. Up into the forest for the first leg...

Sunset stroll by Lake Thun on another beautiful evening. Wow!

Scenic detour above Lake Thun. Normally I'd ride roads like this but today snail does the work saving legs for later.

Quick look at little medieval square in Le Landeron. Think the road needs replacing with cobbles for more ambience.
