SWISS ALPS (5 PART). UP TO Allalinhorn (4,023 MTS)

At six o'clock, when we put the clock, the weather was very unpleasant. Snow and fog obscures more than three feet, so we decided to stay in bed and await developments.

At eight time seems to change, so we take the junk and throw up. Before we took some pictures from the terrace of the retreat of the glacier in its upper Feegletscher.

Längfluh
The shelter is located on a spectacular site. It is eight and have not yet reached the cooks, so we eat up breakfast and let us "pray" for the time we respect.

Photobucket


And the goal of the day: Allalinhorn peak of 4027 meters. You can see the ski lifts still work even though we are in August. Many national teams train here during the summer months preparing for the international competing tests from September.

late summer
cracks in the glacier are scary.

already with tackle positions, pull upwards with the intention of the summit before three in the afternoon, then down to the shelter to spend the night in it and try another morning rush.

Photobucket


Seracs.

Because of the fog that soon gets out, we find the "path" and cross the dangerous glacier to reach the ski slopes. Here on the tracks the only danger is that you keep a skier ahead.

Photobucket


we still have at least 500 meters of altitude when the time eventually break down completely. Snow, wind and cold and on top, opening track without knowing if below the snow fall back on these days there is a crack in the area there. Come on, it gets tricky.

Photobucket



Photobucket


The thickness of snow at high altitudes there is extraordinary.

Photobucket


And oddly enough, to almost 3500 meters of altitude in Switzerland there is a metro station where we get to warm up a bit and think about what we do. Oscar misses his accordion with which we could have gotten a few Swiss francs from car to car singing a beautiful melody and saying that which we have heard we have been in the subway of Madrid: "Tristian pidil is moo, but Pior steal, a little help eat it queess pa, pa not get high."

Above the station, is the highest revolving restaurant in the world since announcing its beautiful views you can not enjoy because it looks beyond 5 meters.

eat something, we warmed up and see how they train those who surely will be competing in World Cup skiing within a few years, Kid that his face should not spend 14 years, but they are authentic wardrobes. After some thought, decided that the peak Allalin we will have to leave for another day. Better a withdrawal is still time to get into one brown that can be very difficult to leave.

Photobucket


descended from the same place on the climb. We left the tracks and before entering the glacier we found this signal. Gletscherspalten, which translated into a Christian is that if you fall into one of these cracks, escojonas you badly. No one must know the language to know that Gletscher means breaking or splitting and Spalter back. Translation: do not fall back you depart, as little, lol.

Photobucket


These cracks are giants, but they are too dangerous. The dangerous are those buried and come to be until you slip into them.

Photobucket



Photobucket


These are the fucking, which are buried and cross the glacier from side to side. In a lot like this happens the "incident" the day. I approached to take some photos when the ground disappears beneath my feet and fall into one of these cracks. Luckily I strings and with the help of Oscar I leave the crack with the fate of not releasing the camera in the fall. That if I have fallen into bad posture and I hurt my knee, but I do not notice the scare at the time.

Photobucket


The fall occurs ten minutes before coming to the shelter, almost dangerous in the last area of \u200b\u200bthe glacier. Once at the shelter noticed that I have not got the knee well. We announced that the meteorological part snow for the next three days, which coupled with my battered knee withdrawal forces us to sing and pull to Saas Fee.

Photobucket


quickly finish the show (including two Swiss blankets, hehehehe) and we have left to lose 1100 meters of altitude, with backpacks loaded with supplies for several days, sack, rope, and my left knee I danced at every step. So, without a precedent, we take the lift that we will leave Saas Fee in less than fifteen minutes.

Photobucket


I entertain at the drop taking place some fotillos on the climb.

Photobucket


An ideal place for all kinds of sports.

Casitas Saas Fee.

Photobucket


crossed all Saas Fee up to the station where we catch the bus to take us to Saas Grund, which is where the hotel where We left the car.

Photobucket


With one of these houses I was content.

Photobucket



Once at the hotel we showered and had dinner prontito. The knee begins to hurt and tomorrow we expect 1700 km. car. It was not the best getaway we could dream Alps, but this force us to have to come the year I came.
Once in Madrid, seven days to be exact, I get an X-ray confirms that there is no break, so I am doing a little bit of goat. In Tenerife, and due to continued pain I have to do an MRI, as of the fall and not have stopped train, which confirms I have a left lateral ligament strain in grade II. Result: 10 days with the leg up and one month almost stopped.

Next year: more and better.

SWISS ALPS (4 ª PART). UP TO SHELTER

The next morning we got coming soon, we take the bus to Saas Fee. The day dawns as above, rain and forecasts are nothing good for the rest of the week. But we've done 1700 km. car, so we will not give back.

The picture is of Saas Grund from the terrace of the hotel. In the hotel as we left the car park in Saas Fee goes for 15 € a day.

Photobucket


Saas Fee is located at 1800 meters and is known as the pearl of the Alps. On the streets is not running not a single car and is surrounded by peaks and glaciers. That if its hotels comes close to 7000 beds, so it is a small town in the middle of the mountains.

Photobucket


On the streets of Saas Fee you find these buildings remind me of horreos Asturias.

With the roots of trees are these curious sculptures that serve as decoration on many of the terraces we see. This photo is one of the largest we saw.

Photobucket


glacier ends there. The route takes the edge of it and we will live a detached stone creepy.

Photobucket


When winter snows in the area, real snow. Just look at the level they are placed winches lifts. And that is at the bottom of the ski resort.

Photobucket


As usual we decided to go to the shelter with no lifts. A blade is much more fun .............. and harder. We came out of 1800 mts. altitude and reach the shelter of Längfluh, which is located at 2870 mts. And again loaded like mules to take 4 or 5 days in the hills.

Photobucket


Grandpa, tell me your:
What sounds are those who hear me?
Grandpa, tell me your:
Why am I in the cloud?
Tell me why the air smells so?
Tell me why I'm so happy?
Abuelitoooooooooo,
you I never walk away.

Grandpa, tell me your:
what the wind says in his song.
Grandpa, tell me your:
why it rained and it snowed?
Tell me why is everything white?
Tell me why yo soy tan feliz?
Abuelitooooooooooo,
nunca yo de ti me alejaré.

Abuelito, dime tu:
si el abeto a mi me puede hablar.
Abuelito, dime tu:
¿por qué la luna ya se va?
Dime ¿por qué hasta aquí subí?
Dime ¿por qué yo soy tan feliz?
Abuelitoooooooooo,
nunca yo de ti me alejaré.


Vamos, que veo una cabañita como esta, y me pongo a cantar la canción de Heidi como cuando tenía seis añitos.

Justo donde acaba el glaciar se forma este lago........

Photobucket


....... that will lead to this other thing that forms below.

Mouflons placidly grazing.

and woodchucks displayed right where the snow level begins.

Photobucket


And how could it be otherwise, begins to snow.

Photobucket


In the last stretch before reaching the shelter, there are safety chains. The trail is not dangerous, but better to be safe.

Photobucket


Oscar out of the area of \u200b\u200bstrings.

Photobucket


And we came to the shelter Längfluh, as always, without reservation, which has a splendid terrace with spectacular views of the glacier (if you allow the clouds, of course)

Photobucket


Peeroooo, when did fuck out here the sun?. We took five days in Switzerland and we have seen a Minutillo the sun.

Photobucket


Nothing to drink on the terrace, the weather is very nice.

Photobucket


Längfluh Refuge, with capacity for 128 people and we are Oscar and I, plus the chef Marco Swiss and Portuguese Antonio's assistant.

Upon arrival and after paying the overnight (30 € per head), put us on TV the MotoGP Grand Prix in the winner Jorge Lorenzo, Marco the Swiss chef invites us to three pitchers of beer from the large and Portuguese Antonio's assistant tells us to leave the dinner and breakfast am ready but we have not paid. We were amazed, for they say that these Swiss are a sosainas.

That if, in the fourth pitcher Marco wants to invite us, we say no because we have what is known as a lucid pedete.

Photobucket


And at five in the afternoon came the surprise. Marco and Antonio go down and leave us all alone in the shelter. We were amazed, we never had this happen in a mountain refuge, but of course, the lift will stop 10 meters from the shelter.

Photobucket


And were still snowing, so we spent the afternoon playing cards and reading books that are everywhere at the shelter.

And we do some photos to plants that have planted Edelweiss Marco for several pots. The Leontopodium alpinum, known as the flower of the snow, it is a flower that grows in small groups in rocky alpine meadows and high mountain ranges of Europe, no more than 30 cm tall, with thick husks, fleshy and covered with a fine fuzz, with a white and green or yellow tones.

is the floral emblem of the heights and has therefore been largely depleted, having disappeared from many areas and being far less common than a few decades ago, because this has been protected in English territory, being forbidden collection. It is capable of surviving more than 3,000 meters of altitude and extreme temperatures of the alpine mountains and is considered a symbol of valor and courage. The most widespread legend that the men who sought to prove his love had to climb over 2,000 meters to get one and give it to his beloved. Here we have

easy, all you have to take some "borrowed" to Marco.

Nightfall.

Photobucket


piltra We're going to. Only a stranger has arrived Swiss couple sleeping in a room next door and with whom we shared dinner that left Marco. We set the alarm for six o'clock with the intention of climbing the peak Allalin, of 4023 meters, but the expectations of the time are not very good.
