Ovronnaz


We set off by chairlift, ahhh what an awesome way to get up, and were then walking in the fresh mountain air with amazing views into the Rhone valley and accross to the Grand Combin. From over here you really can see that it is worthy of being called a 'massif' just like the Mont Blanc.

Edelweiss


So my clients asked to see some wild Eidelweiss. The challenge was set...and we ended up in a FIELD of them up by the Mauvoisin dam at the end of the val de Bagnes. A success!

Verbier's off-piste


So much fun to hike where we ski off-piste in the winter. We climbed up the col de Creblet and ate our pic-nic with the stupendous view of the Lac des Vaux, then we traveresed around to be at Col des Mines. Looks mighty different without snow! And I wont even mention the views of the Combins...
