Sospel --> Val Cenis Lanslebourg
We left Sospel quite early and it was lucky we did. Our rambling route through the alps found us climbing a huge mountain on what turned out to be a dirt road. We weren't quite sure what a road category of 'other' meant on our map, but it this instance it turned out to be 'very rough practically off road terrain'.
This all said, it was more than worth it. It did take us nearly 4 hours to cover less than 50kms, but we discovered some amazing landscapes with the sort of views you see on tourism commercials.Even though the weather was warm there was still plenty of snow around, so we made the obligatory stop on the side of the road for some snow eating and a quick snow ball fight.
We ended the day in the town of Val Cenis Lanslebourg. A ski town in the French Alps that offers all year skiing, glacial in the summer. Our budget conscious habits found us staying the night in a great international hostel, half the price of every hotel in town. With breakfast included ... yeah baby!!
