What a way to start off the Swiss National Day! Sunrise at the Cabane Rambert at 6:30 a.m. We walked back down to Ovronnaz taking a route that took us through a rocky path where the ibex (bouquetin) were butting horns. It was absolutely spectacular. We then hooked up to the ancient Bisse de Pathier (a water way from the 15th century to bring water to the dry fields). The sun shone high and strong, but we managed to pic-nic in the shade of an old larch with a view onto the Combins and their glistening white glaciers. Really a wonderful day!
