Last skin of the season



The Arpille is beautiful on skis, snowshoes, & foot.
Haven't tested it on bike yet...

Adonis


The only place in Switzerland you can find this flower growing wildly and naturally.
It is a remain of the glacial stepp we had over 10'000 years ago when the glaciers retreated.

Vallée Blanche Chamonix Mont Blanc


Just taking the lift up to the Aiguilles du Midi is enough to make anyone gape!

Skin up Arpille


Huffing and puffing up to the view of Mont Blanc at the top, before racing back to work for the afternoon! Nothing but good friends, good snow and happy alps!

Snowshoe Saint Christophe


Snowstorms are fabulous to snowshoe in! The air changes, the way you breath and look at things change, and sounds are distorted in the most wonderful ways! I am enraptured with my life!

Grand-St. Bernard


This is the place to come to be saved by dogs with booze tied to their necks! Brought a friend up for his first ski tour, lovely day and pic-nic. Perfect for beginers and snowshoers!

Snowshoe Les Mosses


What is up with the wind in this place? We almost flew away with the snow fairies! Thank goodness we had enough chocolat in our packs to hold us down!

Snowshoeing in Fionnay


After such a great day snowshoeing around Verbier we headed to the end of the valley. Just the place to recuperate from all the sliding we did the day before!

Above Verbier


Ha-Ha-Ha! We all ended up like this! Through looking for snow patches to walk on and slip all over the place. So nice to go places in Verbier where there are no skiiers.

Around Bruson


The forest trolls were wondering what we were doing there too! But once out of the trees and pine needle snow it was glorious!

Snowshoeing Fionnay


I just love this area, it has everything. You can pic-nic by the summer mayens (wooden shacks) or jump over the river! Animal tracks are all over too, simply marvelous!

Snowshoeing at the Lac de Tannay


Wonderful day with the snow trolls! Just wish the snow angels would give us a bit of fresh snow to play in! The views here and the tranquility are heavenly!

Winter in Verbier


The river in Fionnay (La Dranse) is a sight right now! The snow has mushroomed up on top of the rocks to create some fabulous artistic views! Call me soon to go see them yourself!

Snowshoeing in Verbier


This is the perfect time for snowshoeing in Verbier - the high pressure is sending us sunny skies till the beginning of March apparently! So put a pair on and come with me to see the wild animal tracks and imbibe in the beauty of the fresh alpine views!
