Heading to #dwcc14: Swiss Juras and Mont Blanc

 From the Swiss Juras over Lake Geneva towards Mont Blanc

We are staying a couple of nights at Divonne-les-Bains to get ourselves acclimatised for #dwcc14 in Montreux this weekend. Today we drove up into the Swiss part of the Jura mountains that overlook Lac Léman and Mont Blanc and other mountains.
