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.

Winter dressing
Leaving the landscape almost monochromatic, the higher altitude forests are now full dressed in snow.

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.

Last of Autumn
The landscape tells the tale of how Autumn is nearly defeated by the heaviness of Winter.

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.

Lac Bleu
Fed directly by the glacier of Aiguilles Rouges d'Arolla, a small lake sits serene in an alpine meadow. A common stop for local hikers in a sunny Summer day, it holds up to its name.

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.
