Blumesalp hutte, Switzerland

So up the lift and then down the other side to the lake, around the lake up to the head of the valley to the pass. In the heat of the sun all the way, and it is a long way, but a great position to end up.
 The route is spectacular in places with waterfalls and a spectacular lake .. no wonder it is a major tourist attraction.

The trail rises from the lake heading East, through the summer meadows sprinkled boulders appearing through the grass,

From here the track rises up some moraine to reach the higher meadows.
All the time the hut sits on the skyline seemingly still a long way off
 The hut was as I remembered it, and was worth the log walk in. Even better the Outside loo 50m down the path had been replaced with an indoor composting loo.
Unfortunately the weather was turning and some evil looking clouds came over. the next day was looking very questionable, but I fell asleep all the same.
