Haute Route Highlights D5

Arolla (Les Hauderes) to Zinal (Moiry Barrage)
15km, 1450m ascent, 700m descent

The arrival of my clients partners, who will be meeting us each evening from now, travelling by car, has added a very happy extra dimension to this trip. I'm able to sit back and listen to the clients enthrall and amuse (& horrify) their partners with their adventures.

It also meant today that we didn't have to do either the usual unusually short day to La Sage or mess around with the the post bus. A quick lift to Les Hauderes, via a trip down memory lane for N, meant a relaxed start.
Today is one of the largest ascents, but the fabulously made trail means it seems easy.
We made exceptional time, the clients now at ease in this sort of terrain.
As ever the Lac Moiry (extra) was magnificently blue, hard to explain unless you see it with your own eyes.
But today is also a feast of nature, and thinking of blips TonyG I chose a collage of beauty as the main blip (I'm certain I've blipped the Lac before and will again)
