Les Deux Alps in Summer

The first weekend in August, we went up to Les Duex Alps to check out the area. It is quite touristy but beautiful.

Looking out over the bottom of some of the ski hills.

Mountains across the valley.

You don't get to see the sign mowed into the hillside in winter :)

We had hoped to take one of the gondolas up to the glacier and look around, but we looked around town first and by the time we went to check it out, it was already 3PM and they stop the service at 4PM, so we didn't have time to go up and down.

So we headed back home and stopped at this beautiful lake on the way, the Lac du Chambon.

Closer look...

and closer yet.

Checking out the lake from the dam.

Looking the other way downstream from the dam.

And voila, another beautiful day in the alps!
