A great day out yestereday near the Col des Aravis on the via ferrata ?Yves Pollet-Villard?. Graded ?D? the via ferrata does a rising traverse up the cliff with views out over the Col. Some nice situations and the classic view of the Nepal footbridge. For those who want a little physical challenge the direct finish over the roof is fun. It was a pleasant surprise to see, at less than 50m, a chamois with it?s young cabri on the descent after the climb. Since it was in the 30?s yet again today the afternoon was rounded off with a refreshing swim in Lac d?Annecy.
