Yeah the views were quite nice indeed. Cable cars definitely make things quick and convenient. My knees were still pretty bad at that time from my Pyrenees hike so I don't think I would have made it up if we did a true hike to the top. They are doing better now though so hopefully hiking is in my future.
I hope you make it to Europe soon!
I've followed your Pyrenees hike, and I have been obsessed! It's one of the places of my dreams because of its feature in National Geographic magazine I used to read when I was young.
Yeah that was quite the experience. The alps are really spectacular too though. Hard to say which are better. Lol. Seems like you can't really lose hiking any mountain range. I wish we had mountains close to where I live now.
