It was snowing when we got up this morning in Saas Fee. J stayed at the hotel to telecommute while I tried my luck going on the trail we wanted to do. As the cable car which was supposed to take me to the trail’s starting point wasn’t operating (ski season is coming), I tried to walk up to the place myself (on a well-marked trail.) The hike up was challenging but also beautiful – going through a snow-covered forest. But as I got closer to the cable car station the wind became stronger and the temperatures dropped. I then decided to head back to the hotel.
For lunch time we went up the cable car that skiers use and got up to 3500 meters, where we got to go into the nearby glacier. It was a very beautiful first experience for me – being 10 meters deep inside ice.
Tomorrow we’re going to Grindelwald to walk on the trail of the Eiger glacier.
Amit,
This trip looks INCREDIBLE. The pictures from the Glacier are really amazing. I guess it kinda feel like being in another world doesn’t it?
Definitely. And it’s amazing to me how some people live this kind of life… so different than ours, for better or worse. Thanks!
