Before setting off form the B&B at Issor, just had to take another photo of the Fern Hill

just all ferns, amazing

with a little path through it, if I was here for a little longer, would have done some walks around here and no doubt walked along that track

mist slowly lifting

and can see the real Pyrenees covered in snow in the distance

what a view

as I leave the B&B and head down to Issor a look back at where I stayed last night

and from the road

being in the mountains, lots of creeks around

I ignore the GPS directions and exit onto a smaller road, still heading to Spain, will be going through that gap up ahead

then looking back from where I came

steep drop off from the side of the road

The road so small, it is in parts just one lane, and very curvy

I'm stopping every 400 meters just about as there are just so many beautiful vistas

and then the moss and greenery in the valleys

awesome

detail

with crystal clear creek running underneath

climbing a lot higher, and snow capped Pyrenees all around me now, exciting

looking back, and that is France covered in cloud

can just see the road I came up on the bottom of photo

tree line disappearing and I arrive at the LA Pierre Saint Martin Ski resort

would be a totally different scene in winter time

there are the usual big apartment style accommodations at this ski resort, but also hundreds of little chalets, looks inviting ( as long as there is enough wood for the open fire inside :-)

and still a lot of patches of snow lying around everywhere

looking towards France

that would be the top of the hill to ski down from

I can see myself having some fun up here

next ski holiday ?

and then as you drive out of La Pierre Saint Martin, 200 meters down the road and you are in Spain
