9th June. Xonrupt Longemer

Overcast with cloud base at 1100m. I went off exploring in the car to look for the end/start of the GR7. (When I left Tarifa I thought of maybe leaving the GR7 and heading for Switzerland.)
There were a lot of cyclists ascending wherever I drove, such a pity that I was up in the clouds or below them a lot of the day.
According to what I'd read the GR7 ended on the summit of Ballon de Alsace. I parked near the summit and forther on found GR7 arrows in either direction, but nothing definitive.
Spectacular area with lots of ski facilities. The postmen use Fiat Panda 4x4's
As the temperature was only 18 I decided to drive to Switzerland the next morning.
