SnowSlider - Blogging From the mountains by ise

We were up in Zinal staying at the Hotel Besso to have another look at the area. Spring is arriving in the Valais and it was a really nice evening in the Val d’Anniviers as we arrived.

Zinal is a small picturesque old village at the end of the Val d’Anniviers. Further up the valley is the Matterhorn and the view is always dominated by impressive peaks. We were staying at the Hotel Besso in Zinal and managed to try La Ferme which is one of the local restaurants and Le Pub which is a good local bar.

There was a frost over night and Saturday morning the snow was in excellent condition. The best slopes were the north facing ones and a couple were just excellent, hard packed to point of a being little icy and steep.
