Started off in HOT weather from Realp (Andermatt)

Ended up in a deserted capana in the Tessin near All Aqua (Airolo)
Where we hung out during the white out & snow storm (1.5m fell in 4 days)!

Let me tell you about the wild men I found after the powder descent! Aiiayaayyaaa!

Adonis Vernalis

Really something to see this flower is a relic from before the ice ages that has managed to persist in a secluded spot of the Valais.

Schwytz Muotathal

Absolutely fantastic 2 days in remote central Switzerland, with turquoise blue finger lakes and snow covered mountains. A dream for hiking, biking, or just gaping at the views! Breathtaking!

Rando Col des Ecandies

Great walk up to the Col, but there was no candy at the top! Interesting place to contemplate the Trient Glacier, one of the Alps' glaciers that has changed drastically over the years.

Ski touring Les Hauderes

Fabulous discovery of a mountain with more crosses than can be remembered. A perfect place to go snowshoeing and find out more about local valley architecture.

Skinning Bourg St. Pierre - Cabane du Vélan

Most original river crossing I have ever encountered! As usual when there is bad weather in the Grand Saint Bernard area it is REALLY bad, and as usual it is bright sunny in Verbier!
