29th January 2013 Hiking - Walking: Samoens Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy :( Max Speed: Distance Covered: With legs shot !!! :( Mag and I decided to give skiing a miss and the because of the cloud the light wasn't brilliant so after a relaxing morning in the appartment and the Coles heading off skiing to Morillonm, Mag and I donned our walking boots, packed a picnic and headed up the road to Samoens Cable Car. We then turned left and followed the river upstream toward Sixt :) There is miles of cross country skiing piste here and we met a lovely c/country skier Vincent who had lost his mate !! We would love to give this sport a try :) The scenery is wonderful with the fast flowing river and snow covered trees.We crossed over the river and past a hamlet where I fell heavily on some ice :( We made it to the start of the Gorge des Tines which was very pretty and then saw another sign to the gorge on a little used path to the right. We headed up through the trees to the gorge and found a narrow path in the rocks including some steep icy steps with iciles everywhere :) There was a sign to the cascades but the path looked steep and bad so we headed down to the cross country piste again and headed into Sixt whwere we skied the other day, we arrived where the ski bus picks up the people who have skied over from Flane and a bus arrived and we jumped on and got a lift back to Samoens as we were tired now.We had our bagets on the bus but still had room for tea and cake :) So a top day in the mountains :) Photo Gallery here |
