The climb
Above Lake Geneva
The path climbs through the forest, with the lake revealing itself between the firs. In mid-May, gentians line the path, blue against the sky over the lake.
Higher up, a few patches of snow still hold out in the shade of the trees.
The pastures
Privileged moments
On the ridge, a tall dead tree stands out against the clouds, a chalet sits on the pasture.
Mountain cornflowers bloom in front of the old shingle roofs. Far from the crowds, just spring.
