Glaciers landscape

[bleu73]

There's a place where I would  stay for the rest of my life,
a place where I would find the rest for eternity.

It is in the French Alps, facing the Mont Pourri's glaciers 12 467 feet (3 800 meters)
Do you share my point of view ? (in the two senses of the term...)

Certainly a beautiful vista.

I don't know about rest for eternity, though. Given current climate trends, those lovely glaciers will be gone within a few decades, leaving bare rock and talus scree.

Le Monal is not exactly a very convenient place to stay for the whole winter!   To see the positive in it, I don't think you'll have much neighborhood problems between november and april, apart from the New Year's Eve of course.

But yes it's really a loooovely place, one of the few pretty places of the otherwise resort-devoured Tarentaise (NB : les Arcs behind the Mont Pourri, Tignes/Val d'Isere at the left outside the frame)...
I particularly love these small stone houses (made of "lauze", in the light grey local flavour of mica-schist), they really fit their surroundings to an amazing point - showing that human presence does not necessarily diminish nature, but can embellish it. Something all architects should study, eg the ones involved in the following photo!

Your photo of this ugly resort. It is the hell !

Yes, but - at the risk of looking a bit harsh - I am sure that there is a way to take pictures of this wonderful place with more interesting skies... white really doesn't do it for me.  

Cheers,
