Prolays

I'm having difficulty deciding whether I love it here more in the Spring or the Winter. We've been out walking every day of every weekend and never walked the same path or even the same valley twice.

This last weekend, on a rainy Sunday, we headed up to Lindarets which surprisingly is now a goat village with actual goats in it rather than a ski village. After waiting for the goats to decide that they were smaller than the Touareg we parked near the top of the Ardent bubble (which is being dismantled and replaced this year) and walked up the path that you can see in the winter from the Lechere chairlift.

This is Prolays now.




After marvelling at the most impressively powerful display of melting snow and heavy rain down an amazing series of waterfalls we walked back down the famous Prolays blue run. There's still snow on it and I tried some sandal skiing which is great fun until you get ice between your bare foot and the base of the sandal after which point it becomes unbelievably painful and you have to hop around like an idiot trying to dislodge the ice while your wife laughs at you. Then again skiing wearing sandals might be considered idiotic by some in the first place.
