SkiZinal: Rule Britannia
http://skizinal.blogspot.com/2015/04/rule-britannia.html
Sunday, 19 April 2015. The Britannia Hutte at 3030m. Paid for by the British members of the Swiss Alpine Club, the Britannia Hutte first opened in 1912, and was given to the SAC in thanks for the hospitality British mountaineers had always received. One hundred years on and the connection is still strong. For the centenary anniversary the British members bought the hut seven new solar panels. Starting out to summit the Strahlhorn 4190m. One of the three dining rooms. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

SkiZinal: October 2014
http://skizinal.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 October 2014. Turning the clock back. Inside Zinal's 'Peasant-House' Museum. The villages of the Val d'Anniviers contain buildings dating back to the 16th century. Until 50 years ago life was lived in much the same way as it had been for hundreds of years. This film. Was shot in Zinal in 1967 but it could have been 200 years earlier. Main living and sleeping room. Cuttlery and wooden platters. Straw bonnet fixed to the mould awaiting final ribbon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Zinal is in the be...

SkiZinal: February 2015
http://skizinal.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 February 2015. Skiing powder on low angle slopes. Below 30 sounds parky but in fact I'm thinking slope angle. This season there's already been an extraordinarily high number of skiers killed by avalanches. Many could have been avoided with better awareness and education in what causes slopes to slide. So how to tell the slope angle:. Pink shaded steep slopes on the swisstopo maps. You can go online to use the excellent interactive mapping site with more detailed shading. You can also attach ...

SkiZinal: March 2015
http://skizinal.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 March 2015. The 'just so valley' - the Vallon de Rechy. Why call it the 'just so valley'? Well it's just so - consistently amazing, beautiful, untracked, quiet, remote, varied, huge and long. as is the list of words which describes how much I love this valley. Throughout winter we've had some amazing journeys, whichever route we've taken, and there are lots. Here's a small collection of images from this and previous years ski days. It's not bad in summer either. Magical, even on a grey day.

SkiZinal: August 2014
http://skizinal.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 9 August 2014. Cycling through the vineyards. Cycling around Zinal can be hard work - it's either sweating slowly up or a white knuckle descent which leaves your hands aching from braking so hard. For an easier day out, we head down to the main valley to follow one of the many cycle routes. Covers the whole country - road and mountain bike, walking, inline skating and even canoe routes. The app gives you the country's best mapping for free as well. Plenty of mapping and signs. Zinal opens for w...
