St-Jean – Orxival (10th April 2009)
13th April 2009
It was a very spring like start in St Jean, no snow on the ground so we set out carrying our snowshoes on the sacks and climbed the first hour up through the forest on foot.
More signs of spring with local flora beginning to establish itself after the snow receded.
After the first hour we switch to snowshoes and continue climbing in the the high Orxival valley before making a high traverse across variable snow to Grimentz and a welome drink in a bar then back on the bus to Zinal.
