Warm weather in winter hike

Fully is a nature discovery wonderland!

The nationaly protected bulbocode were out all over the place. Was like walking on a fairy tale path though the forest! 
The contrasts were blindingly beautiful, with white summits poking up around us, and the limestone Pierre Avoi pinnacle.
I read today that we are having the dryest winter in 50yrs in Suisse Romande. The grass here seems to agree! This is the Rhône river valley, looking towards the Upper Valais region.
Walking on granite with views of snowy mountains.
The color of the Rhône is beautiful, again some wild color contrasts with the spectacular Catogne summit here.
