The sun has been shining yet again in the Valais region of Switzerland.  So I just had to go out for another of my walks.  Of the 31 that I’ve put together in the Val d’Hérens this is the 30th that I’ve done so far this year.  I’ve not done a blog for them all, but most can be found on this site, e.g. by searching for “Walk” on the About page.

This particular walk started at La Forclaz and went, pretty much, straight up to the Pointe du Tsaté at 3078 metres (10,078 feet).  As you can see from the photos, there were still one or two flowers to be seen and a little bit of snow on the top.

      Hi Anna, It looks like I managed to reply to Tammy twice – Ooops !
      So, I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. Every year for the past 5 years I’ve produced a desktop calendar for my family back in the UK. I have to pick about 55 of my best, or most interesting, pictures from about 3,000 taken each year. It’s a very difficult task as you can imagine !
