The total tranquility of a mountain walk in the South of France

We live an equal distance between the sea and the mountains, both about 30mins drive. The area we drove to yesterday is a ski resort in the winter. You can see where the trees have been removed on the mountain for the chair lifts to carry people up and down.

Esteban was a little shocked at first as the air is much cooler up in the mountains.

Luna didn't seem to care ;)

Here you can see Mamman telling the kids a story about a pine cone.

There are such beautiful things to find in forests when we look for them...

Unlike these two people, this is where we turned around and returned to the car park as we were not prepared to do the 4 hour trek to the lake at the end of this road. Next time!

How lucky we are to live in such a spectacular region :)

A beautiful day with a beautiful family with beautiful pictures for to remember it by. What an awesome day! Good to see you all out and about forging such strong bonds and memories.

Thanks brother! I am lucky that my partner knows this area really well so there are many such adventures to be had here :)

Beautiful shots man! Curious which ski resort this was then, since I live on the other side of the border in the mountains now!

We weren't far from Puigcerdà in Girona. Though the lake at the end of the road we were walking is in France, here:

So beautiful and so peaceful. Gorgeous photos of nature and the family pictures are so precious.
What a beautiful family.

Thank you :)

It was a very special day and am looking forward to getting up that mountain again!
