VivaLaVida then brought us back safely and I prepared her for wintering. She will be back soon… 😉

Valaisan getaway (continuation)
After the Sanetsch Pass, I wanted to show Isabelle the Aletsch Glacier, the largest of the Alps. So we went to the Upper Valais.
1. Boondocking down the Furggen pass.
But in this season, the Eggishorn cable car was already closed. We thus went to visit Brig City before going further…
2. Brig castle.
3. Walls…
4. Bridge…
5. In the old town.
6. Emile still loves VivaLaVida!
7. We then drove to the Anniviers Valley.
8. Over the Rhone Valley…
9. … and the Rechy Cove.
10. Quite sunset…
The end of ou long weekend still to come soon… 😉
Valaisan getaway and… Happy New Year 2018 !
In early November, we went to make VivaLaVida discover some corners of the Valais, an Alpine canton of Switzerland.
Departure for the Santesch Pass, at 7’200 feet elevation, and its splendid lapiaz. The recent snow stopped our way at the pass, beautiful snowdrifts cutting the road down to Lake Senin.
1. Sunrise without many colors…
2. VivaLaVida at the pass, where we slept.
3. Eis on limestone.
4. View to the South over great alpine peaks: Dent Blanche (White Tooth), Matterhorn, Zinal Rothorn, Obergabelhorn, Dent d’Hérens (Herens Tooth)…
5. Life clings…
6. First snow left patchworks on the screes…
7. Snowfields…
8. After breakfast, the sun came up and we went for a walk with family.
9. The big “lapiaz”, a geological curiosity created after the removal of the Tsanfleuron glacier, is gorgeous.
10. Mount Gond.
11. Breathtaking panorama!
12. Near Lake Senin.
13. Family selfie 😉
14. VivaLaVida on the little road…
15. The tunnel to access the pass: 10 feet 7 inches, just enough for VLV!
16. When the mountain crushes the summer camp of Tsandra.
December the 31st, it’s time for us to send you our very best wishes for 2018! We wish you only the best: good health, stars in your eyes, beautiful trips here or elsewher, and lots of new enriching adventures.
See you next year for the continuation of VivaLaVida’s adventures! 😀
