The Pas de la Beccia with the frontier barbed wire still visible on the skyline (Route 19)
Further afield, a long day out to Chamonix can fulfil all your gear-shopping dreams. Towards the end of July the shops all have a huge clearout sale aimed at the French holiday market. The Quechua outdoor equipment supermarket at Saint Gervais has more incredible bargains. Chamonix has an interesting museum in the centre of town and a (very expensive) cable car trip up Aiguille de Midi is literally breathtaking, at around 3500m. It is always fun to plonk yourself at a pavement table and wonder just why people are wandering around in spotless outdoor kit in the middle of town. The road trip will be 2hrs or more each way.
Air sports are another option. Tandem paragliding is available in Termignon and pleasure flights can be booked from the Sollières airfield. For current information and advice, ask at the tourist office in Termignon.
