Powdery landscape

A freshly snow landscape, only marked by a nightly wild hare (and some backcountry skiers on the right) serve as the foreground of a view of the Pennine Alps, with Catogne peak in prominence.

Val de Bagnes

Between Mont Fort and Mont Gelé to the North and the multiple peaks of the massif of the Grand Combin to the South, this deep valley is now fully plunged in Winter mode.

And so, they ski

A fresh and fluffy mountain coating, where before stood grassland, invites those that like the more powdery tree lines, away from the official slopes.

French Alps

From afar, the French Alps emerge from the sea of clouds that overshadow Lac Léman. Well above it, high-altitude cloud formations reflect what remains from the sunlight this day.

Overlooking

Some people walk steadily, some run as fast as they can. Each one has his/her own goals, but one is shared among all.

A little mountain garden


On the Eastern side of Mont Gelé, a little plain comes to live with little streams of melting snow. The local calls it Jardin Japonais, as if perfectly designed by intention and not just sheer erosion. The latter holds true.

Framed ascent

While hiking up the trail, gaining altitude as the forest reduces in density, one catches a little glimpse of what is ahead.

Fractal textures

Not really a forest but... There's something very interesting about how man is always bound to a lifelong struggle, which its sole purpose is to emerge with a structured organization from Nature's chaos. Would it be surprising if we find out that, in the long run, is nothing but pointless endeavor?

The Reeks

The last sunlight of the day manages to break through overcast skies and finds its way to MacGillycuddy's Reeks range. A last kiss before nightfall.
