Bubbles

Day 3 of our Mini adventure. First we headed to see how the ex-Olympic ski jump near Saint Nizier was faring. We last visited around 10 years ago and it was interesting to see how much more overgrown it was. Oddly sad to see a magnificent structure like this fall into such disrepair. Photo included as an extra.

After a quick nose at an abandoned road tunnel and an alpine coaster at Autrans, we headed down into Grenoble. This trip’s mainly about the mountains and mountain driving but it would be wrong to leave without a trip on the iconic Bubbles. They were a firm favourite in Annie’s childhood when she came to Grenoble almost every year. These are shown in the blip with a background of the city and alps beyond.

Finally a quick hop up the Chamrousse for our overnight stop tonight.
