Hike to the lake of Mauvoisin - Valais - Switzerland




How many weeks had it been? way too many. I couldn't even remember the last time we had sunshine. It feels like we got robbed from a nice spring here. But this week end felt like summer (even if as I'm typing a major rain storm started...) So we got out, couln't get enough of this nice weather. Sunday we went an hike in the swiss Alps. We drove up in the mountains realizing even before we were out of the car that we were not equipped to do what we were hoping for. The snow level is still low. So we hiked up to a dam and stopped there. The plan was to go around the lake but the light hiking boots were not good enough. The trail was closed ayway. Will just have to come back when the snow is gone and the lake is higher...
