With 33°C days forecast at Aix-Les-Bains, we were keen to decamp our motorhome from the aire yesterday and find somewhere cooler. We serviced the van ready for a few days up in the mountains, and programmed the satnav for a 3 hour drive up here, to the Col du Lautaret.
It’s just over 2,000m above sea level here (we’ve been here before back in 2018) and is reaching around 22°C in the daytime. It’s beautifully cold at night, about 10°C. We’re loving it, and so is our fridge, which struggles to stay cool in very warm air.
