A short while later I popped out of the forest above the tree line. I had been expecting this to be the hot and uncomfortable bit of the walk, but it turned out to be a relief to be out of the stifling trees and into the open where there was a bit of a breeze.
It’s hard to tell from this photo, but the edge of the ridge was incredibly precarious. Not only was there a sheer drop of several hundred feet, but in places the edge actually overhung the drop. Plus there were big cracks in the ground a few feet from the edge. It was a great view, but I didn’t hang around for too long admiring it.
From here I continued along the ridge to the cablecar station at Savoleyres (2,354m). I was going to meet Judith up here for lunch, but it turned out that everything was closed. So I got the cablecar back to town and returned to the hotel.
