Gavarnie: Mist Again

Last year when we were in the Pyrenees we went to Gavarnie, thought it was too crowded, and moved on.

This year we decided to try again, but once again it was crowded. The town's population was 114 in 2019, yet it has three car-parks the size of Mars, all of which were "complet" when we arrived.  An out of season (whenever that is) visit may be in order.


Instead, we went up Col des Tentes, as we did last year. The cloud was rising up the valley so it was less condusive for walking and we settled on a little stroll and some light gawking. We only saw one vulture, and the marmots were less in evidence.

It was still a win, though.
