The glacier by La Grave, France


Our first day in the Alps, and we could hear the glacier calling!  Right in town there is a telepherique which takes you up to 2400 meters (La Grave is ~1600 meters), right up to the base of the glacier.  It was beautiful there!


On the telepherique


At the base of the glacier they had made an ice cave, complete with ice sculptures (every three years they had to totally recreate the ice cave, due to the movement of the glacier).
With the fish
Can you see the bird feeding the hatchling?


Nice spot for a bite to eat...
