Examing the early morning breakfast at Chrüzhütte
There was more...
7 AM in the Alps
It's a pretty big day and storms are forecast in the afternoon, so we are headed out extra early
Proposed hike
The crux: we need to get over Haldigrat before the storms hit. And, it's a climb
Haldigrat is the ridge on the left from the Brisen summit in the center
Some creatures are still snoozing as we go by
Up the slope
Mid-slope, the trail is steep but even and dry
Part way up and the sky looks good
Good trail conditions with flowers
Weather holding, with flowers
Up, up, up
More flowers
Topping out!
With flowers!
Fast forward to the end of the hike at Klewenalp above Lac des Quatres Canton
Such a strangely shaped lake
Not our hotel...
