After a very leisurely morning we took the gondola down from Saint Gervais, then the train a couple of stops to Servoz. We planned to catch a little brunch on the way to the gorge, but ended up dining at a very gourmet spot in the village. First course was an elegant take on seared ahi tuna, main a pork steak with little roasted potatoes and a cooked tomato, all with separate and delicious sauces. Just the thing to set us up for a hike.
The Gorge de la Diosaz is a fascinating spot. The river comes down a narrow canyon. In the late 1800s a local visionary and gorge enthusiast decided to build a walkway through the gorge, in many areas cantilevered over the river. It was completed in 1875, but due to the heavy winters in this area much needs to be rebuilt every spring. It was a lovely hike up and back down the gorge walkway.
