June 6, 2025,Von Doussard über den Gleitschirmpass zur schönsten Aussicht über den Seen.

For the third time in my 14-day vacation, I easily climbed the steep pass in first gear. 😁
The view was worth it every time.
A short final tour to be back in the valley in time for lunch.

September 19, 2022,Col de la Forclaz nochmals ( nur wegen der leckeren Crêpes)

Today we drove over the Col de la Forclaz once more. This time from the other side, which is a little less steep. Unfortunately, the snack bar with the delicious crêpes was closed. Nevertheless, it was worth just watching the paragliders take off.
