Arolla to La Sage

Today’s walk took us from the Alpine village of Arolla to La Sage. We chose the high level path via Lac Bleu and savoured the scent of the Arolla Pines, dipped our toes in the ice cold water and even stopped for drinks at Pension Lac Bleu. A very different style of day to the previous ones and a welcome change of pace, one of the many things that makes the Haute Route so special.

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
