Les Diablerets


An exceptional automn day! The area we chose to walk in changed constantly. We started off in a forest that was dark and chilly, but soon the temperature & scenery morphed as we entered an area of long grasses caressed by the sun. As we stopped to peek at views that were hiding from us, we observed the passage of the glaciers in the area. Walks like this are always fun as you can see so much variety in the warmth of the sun and the vegetation.

The path emerged into a clearing with cows grazing under the imposing mountains and the frost melted into vapour. We took a break at a magical spot with tipis and had a hot cup of tea and some cakes before continuing on to Les Diablerets.
