Summer Alpine Tour, Switzerland

This year we (Jim, Ken and I) decided to go back to Zinal ... there was a 4000m peak called the Bishorn that was a very simple route and was suggested as a good warm up day. I also wanted to have a go at the Zinal Rothorn, after looking at it from the hut several years ago.

We followed the same route as we had for the first two years through France, and then headed around the Swiss roads to the Rhone valley.

Zinal was growing and many new buildings had been added, but the camp-site was still there and we settle in almost as if we had not left.
