Pyrenees - the magnificent Plateau de Beille

View from the Plateau de Beille. At about 1800 meters, a marvellous area of outstanding beauty. From the spring it is a walkers paradise. In winter, it is a major centre for cross-country skiing. The winding road up to the Plateau is a trying leg for the annual Tour de France international cycling event. Photo ŠTony Withers
