New Years Eve – Snowshoeing in Zinal
December 31, 2009 Filed in: Snowshoeing | Zinal
On of the great things about snowshoeing, and living somewhere with a bit of snow, is you can quickly find yourself away from the beaten track. These pictures are just from a short tour around the forest behind the chalet. There’s no marked trails so you can wander through the forest as you want.
Apparently the abundance of rowan berries we seem to have this year is a good omen for a snowy and cold winter. So far it’s more in line with long range forecasts though, it’s not bad but we’ve seen temperatures ranging from -20′c to +4′c or higher.
The snow’s still pretty good although down here it’s below 2000m and it’s got a bit saturated by rain and melting, without the snowshoes it would be pretty heavy going.
(sorry, pictures of me removed, they seem to be a continual source of fascination for one particular internet user who has to keep coming back to a two year old post to look at it.)

A few snaps from an early season walk above Ayer in the Val d’Anniviers, some hard snow to kick steps in and a walk through alpine meadows.
