Leaving #Seytroux we headed off to visit Lake Montriond, set in the mountains above #Morzine. We ran a couple of laps around the lake and along a woodland trail to the (currently fenced off) cascades d'Ardent. After, we cooled off with a gentle #wildswim The light was resting beautifully on the still lake and imposing cliffs, the water a refreshing 18degC - we'll be back here. Later we returned to Les Gets for an easy afternoon and to prep for the following day's downhill #cycling #frenchalps

Les Gets traditional charm was rather overshadowed with construction sites & concrete lorries, but we gathered information on cycling pistes from a tourist office and, after stops in Morzine (aire) & Saint Jean D'Aulps (abbey), we headed to #Seytroux for dinner, drinks and a lot of catching up with one of N's childhood friends- they'd not met in person for over 40 years! He's a keen ultrarunner, cyclist & Francophile, so we'd plenty to chat about and stories to share. #oldfriends
