A good day in Val d' Isere and Tignes


Aiguille Percee above Tignes Le Lac

Boy, it's been warm! The lower slopes have been suffering, below about 1800m its very slushy and on slopes that get a lot of sun, likewise.
We started today at the Fornet end of VdI and worked our way towards Tignes Les Brevieres. We ticked off the top of the glacier in Val and was on the top of Tignes too, well almost. There was biggish queue for the cable car so we didn't bother.
Ended the day with a run down the Sache which was pretty good, surprisingly. The lower bit before it meets the blue run was very soft and sugary but all in much better than I expected.
Pictures to follow when I get a better interweb connection.
