Day 2: Option 2. “Lac de la Bella Tolla“ A circular circuit hike, moderate, walking up to the edge of the Bella Tolla Pass: - Hike from hotel across the “Plan Torgnon” to the base of the Meidpass and then on a further to the Lac de l’Armina (2.5 hrs). - PIKNIK lunch by the lake. - Hike to the base of the Bella Tolla Pass and “Lac Bella Tolla” (1hr) - Then return via the path towards Tignousa, but turning off at Garboulla and return to the Hotel, picking up the path from the previous day at the “Challet Blanc” (1 – 1.5hrs). Day3: Saturday July 22: Hiking into the Val d’Anniviers The peak of the Weisshorn (4506 m) dominates the mountain landscape in the area around Zinal. The Weisshorn is the fourth highest peak in Europe. The plan for the final day (if weather is fine) would be to check out of the hotel and walk by 10:00. - Depart heading south along the upper Val d’Anniviers. - Going past (and above) the town of Zinal. - Hike south to the branch of the two rivers (at the foot of the Zinalrothorn) that form the source of the Napisence River. - Stop for a small Piknik for a snack/lunch (knowing that we will be back in Zinal for a coffee at about 15:00). - Here we descend into the valley floor turning 180 degrees - Walk back north along the descending river and return to Zinal. This “hook” route will take approximately 5hrs. If the weather is poor, if we are lazy, and/or… if we take too long, there are multiple options to shorten this walk and head directly to Zinal. The direct route: Hotel to Zinal takes approximately 2.5hrs. The post bus departs directly from Zinal to Vissoie where it connects with the bus to Sierre.

  • Dot's Sierre-Zinal Report
    SIERRE-ZINAL MOUNTAIN RACE SWITZERLAND 12/08/18 “The view that catches your eye as you come out of the Ponchette forest with the sunrise over the ‘imperial crown’ of successive peaks is accentuated with each step in the direction of the five majestic summits that exceed a height of 4000 metres.” This is the description in the brochure for the Sierre-Zinal Mountain Race in the Valais valley in Switzerland. At a boozy lunch with friends following the 2017 Percy Pud road race Kate Morris, of Triathlon X fame, proposed an adventure for the following year: ‘let’s have a go at Sierre-Zinal.’ The reception was positive for the fired up Percy Pudders but not for me this time. After knee surgery just twelve months earlier a 30K, 2225 metres high mountain race in Switzerland would be well outside my comfort zone. A trot up Win Hill might be more my sort of challenge at this stage. I continued to run for pleasure, building up my strength for the occasional fell race and testing my knee at Parkrun. Then in July 2018, about three weeks before the proposed race, the word was that a friend Chris Deery had had to reluctantly withdraw, injured and would I like to take his place? Let’s think about this: •A week in Switzerland within sight of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. •A chance to run in the same race (but not the same league) as Kilian Jornet. •Billed as the most scenic mountain race in the world. •More boozy lunches with good friends •And a finishers medal.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 052, 1919
    The Cairngorm Club Photo by Mrs.R.M.. Williamson. THE FERPICLE GLACIER AND HOTEL BRICOLLA. THE COL DU GRAND CORNIER. BY R. M. WILLIAMSON, - M.A., LL.B. THOSE who know Arolla, one of the choicest pearls in the chain which binds mountain lovers to Switzerland, will remember that less than an hour after passing Evolène theyreach the small village of Haudères, where the driving road ends, and where those bound for Arolla swing sharply to the right and enter a gorge dominated on the left by the Dents de Veisivi. In the village and just before crossing the stream descending from the Ferpècle glacier a rough path turns off sharply to the left, and, winding through larches, brings the wanderer in a little time to the attractive little Ferpècle inn, more like a toy chalet than an inn. One might spend some days in that attractive haven. As it is, it yields us •comfort and solace before entering on the more tiring part of our journey, for we presently get above the trees, there is no shade, and the sun is overhead. The view is, however, one of extraordinary beauty. The great Ferpècle glacier is straight in front, to the left is the Dent Blanche with its terrific western sweep of preci- pices, while on the right is the great mountain mass separating the Ferpècle glacier from the Arolla valley, and on the sky line the spotless mantle of the Wandfluh. Scarcely a soul is to be seen save a herd boy or a hay- maker, for we are now in a back water, the procession of men and mules having set its face towards Arolla.

One of the finest long-distance trekking opportunities in Alpine Europe is the walking circuit of the huge, many-summitted massif of Monte Rosa (4634m) in the Swiss Alps. Starting out from the picturesque Alpine village of Saas Fee, our walking follows a clockwise direction, crossing from Switzerland then trekking into Italy and then back again. This undiscovered gem of a walking route around Monte Rosa keeps to the high ground as much as possible, close up beneath towering Alpine peaks, crossing airy passes and encountering snowfields and even walking over glaciers. En route, there are stunning views of many of the big peaks of the Alps, such as the Dom (4545m) Weisshorn (4596m) and particularly memorable Matterhorn (4478m).

Die Haute Route von Zinal INMITTEN EINES MAJESTÄTI TEXT/FOTOS Mario Colonel, Servoz (F) as Zinaltal – oder Val d’Anniviers – im Wallis ist ein wahres Bijou im Herzen der Alpen.Manche D halten es für eine der schönsten Gegenden in den Alpen überhaupt.Ein Kranz von Gipfeln mit Höhen über 4000 m bildet ein Amphitheater von wahrhaft majestäti- schen Dimensionen:Dent Blanche,Grand Cornier,Col Durand als Südgrenze,Obergabelhorn,Zinalrothorn und Bishorn schliessen den Kreis im Norden ab.Dazu olonel C kommen pittoreske Dörfer wie Grimentz,in denen die io r Ma : s Chalets aus Tannenholz mit ihren Balkonen und steilen o t o F Dächern schon seit Jahrhunderten die Hänge des Tals zu imitieren scheinen.Und dies am Fuss von Bergen,deren Grate und Zacken atemberaubende Formen bilden.Ski- touren in diesem Gebiet stellen eine Herausforderung dar,der nur gut trainierte und ausgerüstete Skitourenfah- rer gewachsen sind.

Der Aufstieg zur Cabane de Tracuit erwies sich als ziemlich abenteuerlich. Es war geradezu heiss und drückend,der Schnee schwer und anspruchsvoll.

LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1880 All rights are reserved [v] PREFACE. In the year 1860, shortly before leaving England for a long continental tour, the late Mr. William Longman requested me to make for him some sketches of the great Alpine peaks. At this time I had only a literary acquaintance with mountaineering, and had even not seen—much less set foot upon—a mountain. Amongst the peaks which were upon my list was Mont Pelvoux, in Dauphiné. The sketches that were required of it were to celebrate the triumph of some Englishmen who intended to make its ascent. They came—they saw—but they did not conquer. By a mere chance I fell in with a very agreeable Frenchman who accompanied this party, and was pressed by him to return to the assault.
