Weisshorn & Zinalrothorn 

The Walkers Haute Route starts to get a tad easier after leaving the delightful Val d'Herens,  heading East. Despite a very nice trail, there is still 1800m of ascent over two cols on the route to Zinal.  The views across this stretch of land are stunning.  Some of the big 4000m Alpine peaks now come into view. The mountains of Weisshorn,  Zinalrothorn,  Ober Gabellhorn and the beautiful Dent Blanche are seen in their glory. We had another beautiful day, hot sun with a gentle breeze.
