video of the morning

It snowed a little 2 days before, this sunday we went to our favorite spot in the backyard, Pointe de Bellevue, a soft mountain.
We started at Champeronne(1330m) and passed at Chanso and La Chaux before reaching the Pointe de Bellevue, followed by half hour of fun on our way down.
