This incredible winter scene is not from the Nordic, the Alps or Canada. It is the Cirque de Gavarnie in the French Pyrenees. In winter, the Cirque takes a completely new atmosphere with the valley floor covered in snow. The walls of the Cirque rise up to 1,500m around you giving you the feeling of being inside a Winter Colosseum. I was lucky enough to visit on a rare day of winter sun, a day I will not forget soon.
