Another blue sky day and another glacier to cross… though this time just a short 100 yards or so, before we commenced the long descent into Saas Grund. Our plan was to head for Plattjen, then traverse around the valley to Saas Fee but, at a fork in the path, a signpost indicated for us to go right, when we should have gone left and we had dropped around 300m (or 1,000ft) of height before we realised our mistake. Neither of us wanted to climb back up, so we continued along the very steep path down to Saas Almagell (much to the annoyance of Pete’s knees) before walking along the riverside path to Saas Grund.

Naturally we enjoyed a celebratory beer, before Jude arrived to pick us up and drive home. 🍻😊

    Congrats on this adventure, I’m positive you and Pete had a blast! Curious, about how many days does it take you to get fully rested and back to your normal at home? I think I’d need at least a week!

      It doesn’t take long to recuperate – maybe a day or so. I guess I’m used to it (i.e. walking) by now. I feel the effects more these days when I go for a run (well, jog). I’m pleased you enjoyed our adventure! 😊
