Moléson & La Chia

10th February 2008

Moléson, SwitzerlandSome variation from last weekend, still at Moléson and on snowshoes but this time we took a longer route taking in La Chia which is a nearby ski station. La Chia is pretty tiny, it’s got a single lift that wasn’t actually running today and it’s somewhere I’ve never actually skied. Along the way we stopped for a glass of wine at the Cabane des Cles which is a Swiss Alpine Club (CAS) hut operated by the Gruyère section which I’m actually a member of although not a very active one!

There was generally pretty cover around the area but some sections had suffered a little in the sun, it’s fairly low but it is February and there really ought to be better snow around. A couple of sections we needed to take the snowshoes off and walk, particularly in the forest sections but by and large the conditions were good.
