Chamonix - Vallée blanche - Les drus
été 2022
One of my favorite mountains #lesdrus #frenchalps
Les Drus. One of my preferred mountain #lesdrus #mountain #frenchalps
I stopped for the remarkable view skiing above Les Grands Montets and below l'Aiguille Verte and l'Aiguille du Dru (upper left). Few places are so stunning, and so easy to access! Many are the reasons Chamonix is a Mecca for skiing and alpinism. The views, vertical, the terrain, the routes, the exposure, the history, the people....the list goes on. Be sure to visit if/when you can! But beware--as you won't soon get it out of your system (if ever). I first visited as a wide-eyed college student before an exchange program in Avignon and have been blessed with many returns over the years, although it has been too long...maybe next season n'est-ce pas?! Unfortunately, even then I won't be able to get that lush #kodachrome latitude for a monochromatic mountain scene like this, mais c'est la vie... #skiing #chamonix #argentiere #lesgrandsmontets #lesdrus #mountains #skimo #france #alps #adventure #photography #kodakfilm #slidefilm #filmisnotdead #madewithkodak #camp4pix #theoutbound #visualsoflife #passionpassport #monoart_ #photooftheday #tbt #createcommunicateexplore (at CHX - Les Grands Montets)
Patchwork of recon photos (Chamonix, France).
A patchwork of photos from this Spring. From top right: Les Drus (3754 m) and Glacier du Nant Blanc. In the middle, three classic ski runs from Grands Montets: Rectiligne (mostly hidden behind the rock), Central Couloir and Pas du Chèvre. Another classic, just to the left: couloir Poubelle from Bouchard. At the bottom: the exit couloirs to Mer de Glace, which are so crucial to find (Chamonix).
