Today, Jude, Angela (Jude’s mum) and I went for a short walk up the Ferpècle valley. Eventually the path comes to a dead end, with the mountains and glaciers rising up at the end towards the border between Switzerland and Italy. As with the rest of the northern hemisphere, it’s looking very autumnal at this time of year, though we did see some new green leaves and some tadpoles. (See pics below). We were also very surprised to hear and then see four icefalls. We’ve observed these in the summer when the temperatures were very high, but today it was nearer the freezing point.
To give you an idea of where this is in the world, I’ve added a map at the end to show the relative position of the walk to our home here in Evolène (which, for new readers, is in the Valais region of Switzerland).
Lovely!! And fabulous chalet!! 🙂

Thanks. It’s a nice part of the world to live. Very peaceful, safe and of course, picturesque too. It just lacks a few more flat (and longer) training routes !

I’m glad you enjoyed the photos, though they probably don’t do it justice. There are many other posts on my blog with equally good wiews. If you do a Search under the About page for “Walk” you should get a list. I hope to get out again in the next few days/weeks, before the snow arrives, to post some more autumnal images. 🙂
