Disaster strikes again

2024-09-05 Aus Von christiankohl

Another wasted vacation. Too bad. At least the Swiss economy is happy. 🙂

The plan was to hike the Tour du Cervin, from St. Niklaus to Zermatt over a couple of days. Unfortunately, we had to abandon the trip after the first day. Two out three participants had technical issues leading to knee problems … hence the move to call it off. 🙁 Zu schade. Sind dann am zweiten Tag noch mit Bus/Gondel/Zug ins nĂ€chste Tal gefahren, wurde aber nicht besser, also am Montag noch einen schönen Day Walk gemacht und dann Dienstag frĂŒh zurĂŒck nach Hause. Tausend Franken in den Wind geschossen, aber Geld ist ja auch nicht alles.

Important takeaways: stay away from Heimatlodge in St Niklaus. Bunch of incompetent rip offs, do not stay there! In Zinal, Hotel La Pointe was really nice, good food as well! 😊

For what it’s worth, here’s the two walks I did:

From St. Niklaus / Jungen Alm to Gruben/Turtmanntal: https://link.locusmap.app/t/uo62i4

From Sorebois via Corne de Sorebois to Lac de Moiry, return to Espace Weisshorn: https://link.locusmap.app/t/qt4jss
