Pyrenees sweet pyrenees

After a 14h drive through the Massif Central we're back at Alain's House. Tomorrow, saturday, the sun will be shining on the pyrenees. As always Eric is keen on skiing ! After 1h of hesitation we decide for the Nord Nere, 2850m, next to Luchon.
The tour is quite long (we start at 1000m) and since all the gears are in the car we decide to keep driving to the pyrenees and sleep in the tent !
That's another 2h of car and at 2am we can sleep ...

Eric, Suzanna and Suzanna's sister arrive at 7h and we start walking straight away (well just waiting Eric 15 min .. hehe).

I'm quite surprise as we find the snow quite early, a bit below 1800m. Surprisingly it's been freezing enough so we don't sink in the snow !

We start the day with a 68 years old man walking amazingly fast ! Of course Eric try to show off but after 2h he starts slowing down ...
After a bit more than 3h of walk we can enjoy a quite good descent :)

There we are, finishing our ski touring trip in the most beautiful mountains in the world ;)
