Mont Vial

The sky was blue again this morning, so we decided to do a walk. So we took the Scenic and drove down the Var valley, and up towards Mont Vial. The road there was quite an interesting one, one might almost say scary - especially the last part as the road climbed up to the mountain top (at 1550 meters).



We were greeted with some truly amazing views, all the way down to the coast on one side, and all the way to the Alps on the other side (still snow-covered...). The sky as a bit overcast, but can't complain! We then walked along a ridge down to Col du Vial - and then back. A very nice walk - not too hard, with mercifully cool weather, and then we had those great views.



From there we drove down to the village next to the mountain - Tourette-du-Chateau. Nothing extraordinary, but a pleasant enough place. And then, back towards Nice...
