Hike to Montagne d'Hirmentaz & Pointe de Miribel
In autumn 2021, I went on a hike to Montagne d’Hirmentaz and Pointe de Miribel, in the Chablais mountains near Bellevaux.
Hike to Crêt Couturier & Roche Blanche
A few weeks ago, I went on a hike to Roche Blanche above Thônes. There are a few mountains called Roche Blanche (or some variations like Rocher Blanc) in the area and I have been on a quest to climb them. I couldn’t find a guide online about this mountain but it was easy enough to get there (there were a few hand-made signs showing direction). On the way, I also visited Crêt Couturier.
April photos
Here are some photos I took in April.
Above, in Cirque-du-Fer-à-Cheval. I had been there many years ago, in the fall. I wanted to come back when the snow was melting: The buses that went there from Cluses stopped running at the end of April so I waited for both the paths to be walkable and the temperature to be high enough so I could see the waterfalls at their best. Unfortunately, there was a cold spell by then but I still went. It was pretty cold but some of the waterfalls were still flowing fast thanks to the sun.
Hike to Pointe d'Orsière
In the summer of 2021, I went on a hike to Pointe d’Orsière, starting from Le Bouchet-Mont-Charvin and ending in Manigod.
Migrating my blog from Wordpress.com to Hugo & Cloudflare
A few months ago, I decided to migrate my personal blog (former location) from Wordpress.com (free plan), where I had hosted it since 2008, to a static website (that you are reading now). The reason was that I noticed the ads really taking over the posts: There used to be a banner ad and ads at the end of the posts. But by accident, I browsed my website without UBlock and I saw there were so many ads in the body of the post. One option would have been to go with the paid Starter plan (currently $5, their cheapest paid offering). Instead, I decided to move to a static website.
Hike to Rocher de Salin & Lac de Lessy
In the summer of 2022, I went on a hike to Rocher de Salin, in the Bornes mountains above Entremont. I also passed trough Lac de Lessy.
Photos from March
Here are some photos I took last month.
Above, Cascade du Dard above Villaz. It is currently quite hot and the snow is melting: Torrents are flowing fast and it is a great time to visit waterfalls.
Hike to Pointe des Brasses & Lac du Môle
In the spring of 2023, I went on a hike to Pointe des Brasses, starting in Villard and ending in La Tour.
Hike to Le Brévent through Montagne de la Coquille
Last summer, I walked a loop in Chamonix: Starting from Le Brévent, I went down to Lac du Brévent then crossed Ravin du Brévent in order to reach Montagne de la Coquille. From there, I walked back up again to Le Brévent.
