A week after my autumn flavour walk (See "On the road to autumn"), I went to the mountains in a region I'd been wanting to visit for a year or two. I didn't go last year because landslides made it dangerous. This walk was more of a scouting trip because I want to go there in autumn, when the larches are orange.
So I headed for the Vallon de Ferpècle, in the canton of Valais, at the end of which lies Mont Miné.
Before 1957, two glaciers joined at the foot of this mountain and probably stretched as far as where I took this photo, 1960 metres above sea level. What remains of the Mont Miné glacier can still be seen on the right. The Ferpècle glacier is no longer visible on the left. The milky colour of the water is typical of glacial meltwater.
It was a beautiful summer's day, a pleasant change from the grey, rainy days of the previous few days. I'm already starting to plan a more ambitious trip for this autumn!
