Title: TdF scenery
Post by: altirando on 18:21:03, 18/07/14
Hope lots of you watched the Tour today - the route went through the Chartreuse and Belledonne areas near Grenoble.  Highly recommended for alpine walking  in a scale more like in Britain, no major mountains or glaciers to concern anyone but great scenery.  The Chartreuse is particularly attractive this time of year as the limestone summits are tilted plateaux covered with flowers.
