Thanks very much and you are welcome. You're right with the Hrs of editing also. You are in for a treat when you do the WHR. Let me know if you need any help or advice.
Stunning place. My legs were knackered after climbing up to it, but that was our favourite hut on the whole hike. Regarding your comments about the car park etc, I would suggest that anyone planning for this hike should aim for a mid-week overnight stay here. Try to avoid getting there on the weekend.
that edge you walk on in the bottom of the ancient glacier path, is the results of rocks and boulders rolling of the melting ice-mass, and falling one on top of another for hundreds of years. If you happen to be able to travel to the morteratch glacier in sankt moritz, you can see a small version of that phenomenon at the far end of the glacier depths... the side pointing towards the sun melts faster than the side that remains in the shade, resulting in an upwards slope of ice. On top of the glacier are rocks and boulders, as the ice melts from underneath, they roll down the slope, and drop the last meters onto a small hill. These are always situated near one edge of the glacierpath....
Thanks Peter, very informative! The lateral moraine on this day was the most impressive one we saw on our whole journey. I knew little about them before we started our trek but we were both fascinated by the power required to create them. I researched a little bit about Glaciers and morains when I returned home and did that little talk over on day 8 about the lateral moraine and the ice melt. Still fascinates me so thanks for the more detailed information.
@@MSCoutdoors yes Indeed, I have walked that part several times allready, as moiry is a spectacular view not to miss when you stay in Grimentz or Zinal…. Also Nice to know, If you Come down col du tsate or col de torrent, and you go over the Hill and you start to see the dam and moiry Lake, on sunny days you can spot the shuny part of the cabane from there…. And even better, on the first days of snow, you can follow the hike trail up the side of the last Climb, It had Nice contrast in the white snow…. Its a very nice region Indeed! I was there about 10 times over the last years, ranging from early June, until mid september…. And every time you find surprises in the most Sunny valley of te Alps (and it really is!)…..
Fab video Michael - thanks for taking us along - and the hours of editing - planning to do the WHR in AUg 2024

Thanks Graeme, yes it was a tough climb that day. Yes, I would also recommend avoiding the weekend. It was a Saturday night when we were there.
What a place that is! Brilliant videos👍
Thanks Richard
