Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chambers´s Pocket Miscellany, Vol. 19 Some years ago, when residing at Bagnères-en-Bigorre, a watering-place in the south of France, I thought of ascending the famed Pic du Midi, one of the highest mountains of the Pyrenees. Imparting my intention to the Countess of C - and the Count de V , they agreed to join me in this adventurous excursion, which I shall now describe. We left Bagnères at eight o´clock in the evening, and reached the village of Grippe at eleven. The windows of the small inn command an interesting view of the Valley of the Adour, and the mountains overhanging it, and which we had made a previous excursion to visit. At midnight, we mounted our horses to commence the ascent of the celebrated Pic du Midi, which is between 11,000 and 12,000 feet above the level of the sea. There was not a cloud in the heavens, and the stars shone so brilliantly in this pure atmosphere, that we had sufficient light to guide us over the narrow and precipitous path, though not more than to enable us to distinguish the outlines of the mountains which surrounded us.
