13th September 2011

We came to the Saastal valley last year to do the same hike that we did today. Last year it was wet and cloudy and we did not have any views so we decided to have another go. The weather was perfect and the hike was just wonderful. 13km in 5.5 hours along a high balcony trail with stupendous views across and to the head of the valley.


              An early morning start and the views astound from the first step
















Looking towards the head of the valley and the Mattmark Reservoir, an area for another day's hike







        Saas-fee above the valley floor surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glaciers


                                       the end in sight at last
