Thanks TD, oddly the nearest town Bardonecchia was about 20miles away, but you're climbing for about two hours to get to a spot like this Col du Sommelier the highest driveable track in Europe!

Totally agree what would live in an enviroment like that, has to be very hardy IMO,
again awesome, any more pics?
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Thanks Guys, I'll post some more. Threw a few up to check they would load ok.
These pics were September 2015. Massive temp range from 25c in the valleys to 7c in the mountains, but that drops to -4c at night.
Wildlife not much, mountain foxes and Marmots ( a kind of prairie dog/beaver) that you only see in the Alps.
Basically these two animals can burrow through the hard ground and stay up there all year round.
No birds, except for small finches lower down the slopes and Golden Eagles higher up.
