Got home last night. Long day in the car. Saw at least 150 waterfalls as we drove down out of the alps. Some spectacular. I was driving so no pics.
To continue the hike…
PS. The stats for the hike are:
778m (2552ft) uphill and 2241m (7352ft) downhill!
The next peak was Gulmens. The tallest one. After that I still went up and down, but the ups weren’t as high.
The trail was clearly marked with these red and white stripes. This is the standard mark for all European trails.
Very beautiful scenery, lakes, vistas, flowers, crags.
At one point, I was sure I was lost, but I kept marching on and eventually got to the next peak: Cuncels.
Further on, the final pair.
To wrap up, a killer descent of 1800 meters straight down to the lake. Thank god my knees and legs were in good shape. Rocky trails along a stream. I slipped and fell a couple times, but nothing serious.
along the way…
Finally I’m getting close to the bottom. Whew!
The final signage:
30 minutes later I was at the train station and on my way back to Zurich. A long wonderful day in the Alps. I want more!
