Tour de Mont Aiguille

We took the hiking route around the iconic Mont Aiguille. This tall limestone mesa simply towers over the rest of the landscape. The route passed through pine forest and then beech until it goes over the tree line. The whole time this giant rock is getting closer and closer, till I can't see it's edges anymore. A surreal experience.

Finally when at the top of the route, I caught a bit of rock madness and started clambering straight up towards the rock. I had to go touch it!
