Augstbordhorn 2,972m - the last ski tour this season






































This was the last ski-tour this season, the summit of Augstbordhorn in the canton of Valais, in the German speaking part of Switzerland. Beautifully guided tour by George Sanga (grey-hair, handsome man on photos); 1,500 m of altitude gain was fluid and well timed; challenging snow under the summit and easier descent in spring, lightly melted lower parts. This was the last ski-tour of this season and the first one with the Swiss Alpine Club and it went really well.  I felt melancholic that the ski-touring season is over, kept looking at snow covered mountains, again and again, taking it all in before the tour ended. Thankfully there will be more snow days to come..Spring has arrived and wonderful to feel the newly grown grass under my feet.
