Ibex on the Tournette, Annecy
Another superb day, early morning mist giving way to warm sunshine. Leaving from above Montmin we passed the Chalet de l’Aulpe before attacking the lower slopes. Reaching the refuge gave time for some improvsed repairs to a pair of boots with the sole detaching. Above I sighted a group of ibex,two females with several young (cabri). Sent from my HTC
