My final guiding trip in the Alps this season. How quickly the Alpine season goes! For my final trek it's the Walkers Haute Route, the third this year. On this 10 day trek I am guiding for Mont Blanc Treks. Another small group with just 4 folk plus one other person joining us at Arolla. A grand start today with stunning clarity of light. The cool Northerly airflow giving a superb quaulity to the air.  Not a cloud all day. We could even see  The Bernese Alps very claearly still with some fresh snow from last week. We kicked off the tour with an easy trek of just 7 hrs going over the Aiguillete de Posettes,  Col de Balme,  Croix de Ferr and descending via Tseppes.
