This morning Emily, Bo and I met Renaud at 6:45 for a Saturday adventure in Chamonix. Renaud offered to take us hiking through some of his favorite paths on the way to Lac Blanc. He promised amazing views, wonderful weather, a gorgeous frigid lake, and some steep climbs. As you can tell from the pictures, the five hour hike lived up to they hype. My legs are more than a bit sore after yesterday’s 14 mile run and this morning’s hike but it was well worth it! We started our hike at an elevation of 1,800 meters and by the end of our hike we ascended 780 net meters and a distance of 5.9 miles. 

I still can’t believe that all of this is just 45 minutes from Geneva!
