Mattertal Sasstal tour August 2003

The gang, Steve'Sid'G, Andy E, Richard K, Keith and Myself flew from Liverpool to Geneva then hired a car and drove down to the Metteral valley.

Our starting point was Zermatt.



>>> Go on lad .... run!!

We headed north on the Europa way and stopped the first trekkin night in the Europa hiitte.

The second and third nights we were at the Bordier hiitte.
The gang on the summit of Gr. Bigerhorn with the Nadelhorn in the background. We descended to St.Niklaus the next day and drove round to the Saastal Valley.

Why didn't you go to the loo before you roped up!






>>>Eccles..... roped!

On our way up the Allalinhorn........ Kenders stopping to pose (resting really!)

We stopped at Hohsaas hut hoping to go up the Lagginhorn but the snow came! Blizzards on my birthday, would you believe it!

Final descent Saas Almagell and the end of a great tour.

Thanks to Andy for some great planning.

Looking forward to the next one.
