Snowshoeing Up Up and Away

I took the Duke of Edinburgh Award kids on one of their expeditions up into the mountains around Schrattenflue. We stopped to eat out lunch on the hike up and thought, "the rest of this will take us three days." We started in this peaceful chalet village, applying sunscreen, and by the end of the day I was under attack of icy winds and my zippers were frozen shut. I had to suck my coat open!

As you can see, when we arrived we had another task. Digging it out.

Melting snow for water once we reached our shed, I mean hut.

Go West, life is peaceful there. Go West, in the open air.
