Ok, so we’re not in the Alps per se, but rather in the Vercors Massif, a French Alps-adjacent range that is, nonetheless, spectacular. Yesterday we drove along roads labelled route vertigineuse to Grotte de Choranche. As we’d gone into a grotte—network of caves—earlier in the day, we skipped the tour; the view from the parking lot, however, was awe-inspiring. And the drive, especially when it started to rain, was, indeed, vertiginous.
