Dolphins scale French Alps

Year 8 enjoyed brilliant sunshine and clear skies during the 9-day trip to the Alps. The trip involved camping in the scenic Ecrins national park and included a two day hike to overnight in a remote mountain cabin at 2500m, and another walk to get up to a glacier for a swim in a stream from its meltwater. 

But, for most, the highlight was the chance to experience some of the via ferrata, a network of cabled climbs, traverses and rope bridges along thundering river gorges and up vertical cliff faces.
