Rotstockhütte Best Walk Ever!

We did a fantastic ridge walk called Rotstockhütte with views of Eiger and Jungfrau. This is best walk I have ever done and views are probably the best I have seen in the world.

Dolomites

We did a fantastic hike in the Dolomites. It really tested us all we thought we were going around the mountain but ended up climbing over the mountain (Cima Valsorda). The walk took us 6 hours to 2700m!
The views of the surrounding peaks were amazing and the Dolomite rock structures from close up were fantastic. We finished it off with a fantastic lunch at the Refugio di Pisa at 2671m, Charlie and I had minestrone soup and the others had pasta. Followed by tiramisu for desert. Amazing that you can get fantastic food at a little chalet perched on the side of a mountain. It had it's own little rudimentary cable car to get it's supplies.

Marching the kids up a mountain pass! just need jelly snakes!

Hike to Saarbrucker Hutte in the snowline!

We took the Silvretta Hochalpinestrasse (High Alpine Road) with a dizzying number of hairpin bends today up to Silvrettasee (2030m) where the GB Rowing team were busy doing altitude training.
Went on a walk from Vermuntsee (1743m) up to the Saarbrucker Hutte at 2538m and much to Alex and Charlie's delight found ourselves above the snow line with time to throw snow balls and make snow angels.

On the way home hurtled down the very fast Alpine roller coaster at Golm which was terrifically good fun.

Felt a bit hot and sticky after all that so time for a quick dip in the scenic pool at Braz and Wiener schnitzel and chips at the pool cafe!
