Possibly the most interesting and certainly informative walk of our week was the ‘Flower Trail’ which runs from the top of the gondola lift at Kreuzboden to the Almagelleralp,Β  From there it’s quite a steep drop down to Saas Almagell.Β  As you will know, I often post pictures of wild flowers and this walk pretty much had every one that I must have posted over the years.Β  But even then there were some new plants that I had never seen before.Β  All the way along the route, there were information boards, but not all of the plants were covered.Β  So, unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to look up and name each of the images below, (life’s too short), but I thought it better to show them than not, to give you a flavour for the diversity and abundance of flowers (and bugs) on show in the Alps at this time of the year.

    Lovely flowers! And I have to say, the rosti with egg is quite ingenious! πŸ˜ƒ

      I’m glad you liked the flowers – and my re-arrangement of the Rosti. I wondered if the chef would really like to present it like that. It certainly put a smile on our faces ! πŸ™‚

    The flowers are lovely, but at the risk of seeming a bit ‘low brow’ I’m actually more interested in what you had for lunch……?!😁

      Not at all… A RΓΆsti is simply grated potato, usually fried and often then placed in an earthenware dish with cheese and/or ham or in this case a fried egg (or two) on the top and then finished in the oven. It’s especially delicious when you’ve been out on a long walk. πŸ™‚

          Yes indeed (they must have a special pan to fit the dish) and it certainly was yummy!
