October 23, 2021,les 2 barrages d'Emosson 🇨🇭

Course that is not easy. Diversified trails in difficulty especially on the return where to find the trail (with the first snow and a little ice) required a good concentration 😄.

September 22, 2024,🇨🇭CH-VS: Finhaut — Emosson lac — Traces de dinosaures du Vieux-Emosson

Very beautiful hike, but in my opinion it is more of a T3 difficulty (acseng part). I caught the last warm day and it started raining on the last 1/3 of descent. It was interesting to see the footprints of real dinosaur ancestors, their paws were the size of my size 40 boot 😁

Pay attention to the direction because there are quite a few Névés on the descent
Simon crampons required
