The countdown to Mont Blanc hiking tour in July has begun. The closer we get to end, slower everything goes. I think there are many memories, reluctances and expectations!
A hike around Mont Blanc brings us not only physical challenges, but also visual pleasure, as well as a deep spiritual shock.

Look at it again, can you imagine what it is?
Isn't it just a lake? This is not a natural lake, but a natural pool, water quality is clear, bottom is covered with pebbles, people can freely switch between water and shore. Just imagine, with coolness of water, lying on grass and basking in sun, how pleasant this life is!
