How does victor describe the approach on montanvert?

The approach to Montanvert is by a winding footpath up the side of the mountain. The path is narrow and steep, and it winds through a forest of pines and firs. The air is cool and fresh, and the sun shines down through the trees, casting a dappled light on the path. As Victor and his party ascend the mountain, they can hear the sound of the river below them, and the occasional cry of a bird. The scenery is breathtaking, and the views of the valley and the lake below are simply stunning.
