Walking toward Col de Coux and fresh cheese
Here's a shot along the GR5 Trail from last year: the cows kindly moved over just enough for us to pass but there was an angry bull a little bit further ahead running alongside a fence. I figured if I didn't look him in the eye, he'd calm down, but it didn't seem to make any difference. We stopped at the Lapisa buvette in the meadow featuring creamy and mild cheese of the region. Later, we enjoyed the round of cheese on top of Col de Coux grateful for a scenic day's walk thru Switzerland, before proceeding down the other side back into France.

Col du Brevent, across from Mt Blanc
DS is silhouetted across from the windy summit of Mt Blanc, which is actually on the other side of the large valley and ski resorts of Chamonix. This is about the halfway point of last year's walk.
