Cabane Moiry - Grimentz

What a beautiful day! Finally felt like summer for an entire day!
The great thing about hiking up to this cabane is the access road brings you up past the Barrage de Moiry so you don't have to trudge around the dammed lake for an hour. The lake is about 30 meters lower than usual - which is the case with all the lakes this summer. Even though we have had record rain for July, the lack of precipitation this winter is visible.

The glacier de Moiry is melting fast...sad to see.
The Cabane Moiry was newly renovated last year and is modern and beautiful. Their food is all prepared with organic ingredients! Had a very yummy salad!
