La fouly, Switzerland

The next day there was lots of cloud around, but we had arranged a rest day, and went exploring .... around to La Fouly (parallel to the Grand St. Bernard valley).

Here we gazed up the Ar pitetta valley and looked at the end of the Grand Lui variation route.

Then wandered a little towards the end of the valley... the wind was really fierce and we soon beat a hasty retreat



Looking back from the col de Forclaz at the cloud over Verbier.
That was it really  .. we checked up on the weather, and it was all bad news ..  more cloud, strong winds and poor days.

The next day we headed back over the col de Forclaz and just kept driving back to the channel .. despite the ending we had some really good days this trip.
