Les Arcs: walks

A walking holiday, so that's what we did. Day One: Les Cinq Lacs, up 1,200m  hard work when we'd just                           arrived at altitude. At the top the lakes were brilliant, well worth the struggle.




Alpine ibex, Capra ibex, not very clear but at the limit of my zoom.







Next good walk, up and over to an isolated church near Bourg-Saint-Maurice




Lavishly decorated inside, recently renovated. Very unlike our more subtle colours, a fine depiction of John the Baptist losing his head over a lady but ne'er a gargoyle.





Back up to the top and home



      past extraordinary rock formations, including the Clocherai, pretending to be a church with bell-tower
