Dad watching Mont Aiguille get swallowed up by the clouds. Fun facts: It’s been said that rock is the birthplace of mountaineering, with the first ascent in 1492. And in the 1950s a stunt pilot landed on top of it, then started taking tourists up there occasionally. 🤯 . . . #france #vercors #hiking #clouds #silhouette #mountains

Dad looking over the epic edge of the Vercors plateau from Grand Veymont. It was cool to watch the clouds roll in, crashing into the cliffs in some places, and creeping through gaps in others. . . . #france #vercors #hiking #familyroadtrip

We spent the day hiking through the clouds, only catching occasional glimpses of the surroundings. Mum and her sister had already pitched their tent somewhere sensible when the rest of us went for a stroll along the cliffs. When we found this spot we made them pack everything up again and move, thinking it could be good in the morning (Sorry mum! But it was pretty good...) . . . #france #vercors #familyroadtrip #adventuring #hiking #camplife #campsite

I can’t get enough of Ibex horns. And why don’t they fall over head first all the time?

Morning light on the edge of Vercors high plateau. Mount Aiguille to the right and Grand Veymont to the left. A fine place to rest for the night.👌

When you’re surrounded by the Schwab family loosing their marbles over the bazillion tiny flowers you’re walking through it’s hard not to get caught up and find your self lying down amongst the ant hills and breaking your neck trying to peer through the view finder.
