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.
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.
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.
glacier ends there. The route takes the edge of it and we will live a detached stone creepy.
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.
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.
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........
....... that will lead to this other thing that forms below.
Mouflons placidly grazing.
and woodchucks displayed right where the snow level begins.
And how could it be otherwise, begins to snow.
In the last stretch before reaching the shelter, there are safety chains. The trail is not dangerous, but better to be safe.

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)
Peeroooo, when did fuck out here the sun?. We took five days in Switzerland and we have seen a Minutillo the sun.
Nothing to drink on the terrace, the weather is very nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
