Today
nothing goes
as planned. It's sunday, and the
mountain is full of people. I'm on a small road above
Champorcher, in a side valley to the Aosta
Valley. But
I have to park the car a couple of km away from where I
had first
planned. |
So now
I'm climbing, from around 1900m to more than
2200m, on a trail, without
really knowing where it leads. |
I pick up another trail, going towards the
area I had first planned to go, on altitudes
between 2100m and 2280m.

Even
if this feels a little improvised, it's really beautiful up
here. I am
a bit tired after my climb yesterday, and I will
climb the Monte Rosa
again tomorrow. So I don't want
to overdo it today |
Arriving
at a hut that's along my original plan of climbing.
But it took a long
time and effort getting here, so I skip my originally planned peak.
Well, I
get a cappuccino at the hut anyway. |
I
can't simply run around up here, I have to climb some peak. I choose an
easy looking one close to my trail going back, a little to the left in
this picture.

At the
summit, M Ros 2286m, about half an hour later.
What you can
see in the air are two swallowtails. I could
count up to six at the same time,
flying around me! |
Zooming in the Monte Rosa, far to
the north. Tomorrow I will
go there! |
