Title:
France 2008 - Tumbling down the rabbit hole..
Description:
In yet another video clip from my trip across the French country, Arco is once again in the picture. During an extensive hike in the Alps near the beautiful Lac du Mont Cenis, a part of the path was apparently swept away by an earlier avalanche. Stubborn as we were, we decided to make it across anyway. Several intensive and dangerous minutes later, we reached the conclusion that going any further was irresponsible. However, from that point onwards, we found out there was no suitable way back. As the sand was slipping away, we lost our grip and slid down the mountain. I ended up on a lower ledge from where I was able to film Arco's second slide that was rather controlled, even though it was still an exciting thing to do; the slope was way steeper than you see in the movie, too. All in all, we made it downwards without any real injures - some bruises and holes in clothing aside. About the Mont Cenis "Mont Cenis (Italian: Moncenisio) is a massif and pass (el. 2081 m / 6827 ft) in Savoy in France which forms the limit between the Cottian and Graian Alps. (...) Thence the valley of the Dora Riparia is followed to Turin (103.8 km / 64.5 mi from Modane). The carriage road mounts the Arc valley for 25.7 km / 16 mi from Modane to Lanslebourg, whence it is 12.9 km / 8 mi to the hospice, a little way beyond the summit of the pass. The descent lies through the Cenis valley to Susa (49.9 km / 37 mi from Modane) where the road joins the railway. To the south-west of the Mont Cenis is the Little Mont Cenis (2184.2 m / 7166 ft) which leads from the summit plateau (in Italy) of the main pass to the Etache valley on the French slope and so to Bramans in the Arc valley. This pass was crossed in 1689 by the Vaudois, and by some authors is believed to have been Hannibal's Pass." ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Cenis Device used Sony Ericsson K850i
