Our longly awaited La Tournette hike has finally come true. Overlooking Lake Annecy, La Tournette is a nice mountain having a lot to offer. The ascent starts rather innocently but we had nice views practically from the beginning.
The actual summit is this square block at the left side of the chain:

And here it is - Lake Annecy. From that moment on it accompanied us on our tour more or less all the time.
At last we reached the square block of La Tournette. It didn't look hikable but I already learnt that everything is hikable here! In this big cube of rock there was a little crack at the back. This is where chains and a ladder were installed so that wanderers could reach the highest point.
As usual, we made a little pause at the top but at some point we felt little drops on our noses and decided to get back. Fortunately it was a false alarm because what was ahead of us wouldn't be very pleasant in rain. And what was ahead of us? Chains, ladders (ok, one ladder), vertical passages... I didn't expect that our descent would be so technical! We all enjoyed it!
At some point the sky cleared a bit. Yey! But that was already when we were already at the foot of Tournette.
Oh yeah, did I mention we encountered tons of wild goats? They're always soooo cute!
