I feel a little snow blind from being at altitude, so have opted to go biking for the day! Awesome ride up to Champex d'Allesse above Martigny on a nice little road. After a picnic in the sun we rode/walked our bikes down to the wine growing village of Fully. The flora is stupendous in this protected region at the edge of the Rhone River. The orchids are comming up fiercely, but the most amazing thing is the flora from Asia that has survived the glaciations & rising of the Alpes. We traversed through the only holly forest of Switzerland, and perhaps of the North of the Alpes. A fascinating area worth discovering
