A UNESCO heritage site, the Cirque de Gavarnie in the Midi-Pyrenees is one of the most beautiful walks I've done for a while. A glacial amphitheatre rising to 3000m with access only by foot or horse.
Start of the walk
Looking for trout in the river.
Can you spot the fish?
A carpet of leaves
The view up toward the amphitheatre. Europe's longest vertical waterfall (423m) the Grand Cascade falls down the face of the Cirque.
Yesterday's snow.
Alice in the amphitheatre at the base of the Cirque. Cold!
The inevitable result of 3 hours walking. Felix out of petrol at the cafe.
