Morning walk

A great thing about having teenage kids is that you can get out for a little morning adventure and be back before they know it.

Over our summer time in Chamonix we developed a bit of a habit of getting out with Basil for a walk/run up to the Rocher des Montets. It's a steep woodland walk up rewarded with fantastic views over Chamonix town one way and up to the Dru the other.

Although we love to picnic, the friendly buvet does a very nice line in crumble and myrtille tart (almost justified by the walk up). After a little refreshment we would trot back down to Les Praz to wake the teens.
