A mountain pass is always a delight, but some are just that little bit more awesome than others! This drive has to be amongst one of the best!⛰We loved it and here’s why! Leading out from Val’Isere, the Col de Iseran soon came into our view. This mountain pass is breathtaking, climbing along the winding bends above the valley. We soon had the most incredible views across the Alps and down to Val d’Isere, now somewhat in the distance. The bright blue tinge of Lac du Chevril, glistened beyond, towards Tignes. As we neared the summit, the crowds were evident, bikers, cyclists, cars and motorhomes. If it was on wheels, it was there it seemed! The wind started howling and the bitter chill felt icy, compared to our starting point, where the heat from the sun had been rather strong. This is the highest mountain pass in the Alps, at 2770m, but it hasn’t stopped the ski resorts springing up at the highest levels. It felt as if we could touch those peaks. A quick photo call and back in the van, to start the descent towards Bonneval-Sur-Arc. This brought a changing scenery of green meadows, farmers cultivating the grasses ready for Winter and the surprise sighting of two playful furry Marmots.....just delightful! ⛰🚐💚🇫🇷🐿 (squirrel emoji will have to do!!) . . #vanlife #vanlifeeurope #coldeiseran #mountainpass #frenchalps #sprintervanlife #sprintercampervan #mercedessprintercamper #vanlifeadventures #vanlifesociety #campervanlife #campervanculture #vanlifestories #motorhomelife #exploremore #outdoorlife #lovemountains #hairpinbends #roadtripeurope #retirenow #livelifetothefullest #campervancastaways A truly magical hiking day in the prettiest of places and all rather unexpected. Noticing a sign for a walk to an ancient mountain village, we packed up the rucksack and headed off to explore. An uphill walk followed, through the most beautiful pine forests, with the aroma of the pines accompanying us, as we meandered through the trees. With glaciers gleaming on the mountains opposite us, the views were just outstandingly beautiful. Emerging into the heat of the sun, on the mountain plateau, we followed a gravel track to “Le Monal”. The ancient historic village is a preserved monument and it’s completely beautiful in every way. Surrounded by the mountain peaks, green meadows, clear blue mountain streams and the sound of bells, ringing out from the herds of mountain goats. What a find!! A truly surreal day up in the mountains and one we’ll remember for a long time to come. 🏔🇫🇷❤️🚐 . . #lemonal #hikingday #alpinehike #frenchalps #vanlifeeurope #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifejournal #campervanmagazine #campervanadventures #adventurecouples #loveoutdoors #exploremore #sprintervanlife #sprintercampervan #naturelovers #walkingtrail #hikingwoman #vanlifeexplorer #vanlifetravels #retireyoung #alpinevillage What a refreshing change for a traffic jam!!🐐🙂. If only all hold up’s were this wonderful! The mountain goats of the Alpine passes are truly delightful. No wonder there are some many incredibly tasty mountain delicacies produced in these regions.... yum yum 😋 🧀. Just before we came across this herd of goats, we were blessed to see the mountain cattle being milked at a mobile milking station!! The picture may look like it’s just anywhere, but is is actually at high altitude, way above towns and villages!! It’s just beautiful to hear the cattle bells 🔔 as they roam the pastures. How amazing that they are herded together to a portable milking station on the mountain side. It’s these little things in life that are just so simple, but so extraordinary in many ways. . . #sprintervanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeeurope #sprintervan #sprintercampervans #drivingeurope #camperlifestyle #campervanadventures #motorhomelife #vanlifecommunity #frenchalps #mountainlife #mountainpasses #vanlifetravels #vanlifesociety #vanlifeexplorers #campervanlifestyle #motorhomeadventures #exploremore #retireyoung #lovetravel This has to be a Wow 😲 moment for us and we’re so happy to share with you the incredible scenery here in France 🇫🇷. Crossing the Alps is always spectacular, the mountain passes are just incredibly beautiful, but somehow, this route over the Barrage de Roselend just seemed more special than ever. Maybe it’s the time of year, or possibly the sun ☀️ reflecting the light in all the right places. Whatever the reason, our drive took a few hours!! With too many glorious view points, clear skies and all those mountains ⛰ surrounding us, we took our time and made the most of the spectacular route. Crossing the Dam wall is just breathtaking, with the bright blue waters on one side and the drop into the mountainous valley below on the other. Simply a special day and one that makes us appreciate our surroundings that little bit more than ever 🚐💚🌲⛰😊 . . #vanlife #vanlifeeurope #sprintervanlife #sprintervan #sprintercampervan #beaufortain #frenchalps #vanlifediarieseurope #vanlifemagazine #vanlifedreams #vanlifeexplorers #campervanlife #exploremoreoutdoors #europeroadtrip #lastrada #motorhometrip #vantravel #sprinter4x4 #travelgram #homeiswhereyouparkit #mountainpass #campervancastaways
