Via Ferrata des Demoiselles du Castagnet from Susanita on Vimeo
I'm back from my vacation to the French Alps with Rob. The trip was primarily to do the via ferratas in the French Alps but we did as much hiking and castle touring. Every day was an adventure. And the whole trip was amazingly inexpensive. Airfare was $510 a person round trip from Dulles to Geneva. We camped 7 out of 11 nights at a cost of about 13 Euros per night. We bought food at the grocery and made our own coffee at camp. I brought a supply of tuna, noodles and power bars from home that we used for lunch snacks on the trail. And the via ferratas were either free or charged a nominal fee of 3 Euros per person.
Rob took the best photos with the Lumix wide angle camera. My Olympus just didn't compare so I mostly took video with the Flip HD Mino.
More trip reports and photos to come ...
