Le Sentier - Vallorbe

Sunday 18 th May 2014 - 14:08

Dificultat: fácil
Temps: 6h
Desnivell Positiu: 250m
It starts very calmly near the 'Lac de Joux'. There are quite a few people, but these tend to be people that respect and love nature. At around the middle of the lake, you must climb a little to arrive to 'Le Lieux', where we continue touring the lake but this time at a higher altitude. In this route we have been fortunate enough to sight two deer or 'chamois' and they haven't shown themselves to be shy.

When we finish to tour the lake, we descend to the village of 'Le Pont' where we continue touring the lake until the end of the village, where we climb the mountain decidedly to arrive at the col.

Once we have reached the highest altitude, the rest is a descent. As we arrive close to the caves of Vallorbe, we continue following the path that is next to the river until we reach the centre of the village.

Tour del Moleson amb neu
Saturday 29 th April 2017 - 16:19
Le Moleson, Gruyeres, Friburg, SwitzerlandPel pont del primer de Maig, en Jaume va venir a Suissa. La setmana havia sigut molt fred i plujosa. A finals del mes d'Abril i en vàrem trobar fins a 80cm de neu. 

La idea original era anar a fer la via ferrata que puja fins al cim del Moleson, però amb aquesta neu ens vàrem conformar a fer un bon passeig per la neu, estirar les cames i fer una raclette a Gruyere.

The three Montronds
Sunday 23 rd April 2017 - 16:21
Montrond, FranceToday I needed to go out for a walk, ... for some time, I had a fixation to climb the summit close the Faucille. Checking the maps, I've learned that it's called Petit-Montrond, and decided to continue the crest and climb the Montrond, and the Grand Montrond. Just after the Grand Montrond there is a geodesic point that is where is finished my hike the day I've climb the Reculet. So challenge will be to have hiked from "Col de la Faucille" to the Reculet.

Kaaterskill Waterfall, New York
Saturday 8 th April 2017 - 16:22
base of the Kaaterskill WaterfallAfter an intense week with the Honeywell connected homes team, working on documenting architecture, I had an almost free Saturday, my plane was at 19:00, and I didn't want to spend my day at the Long Island beaches. At about 2h from New York city, there is the Catskill Mountains, it's a typical place for the newyorkers to go and breath some fresh air. A friend recomended to visit the Kaaterskill Waterfall and so I did. It's an easy walk, provably in 15 mins from where you park the car.
