One way up

The two stage cable car is the only way up the Gemsstock.  Luckily there are multiple routes back down – on and off piste.IMG_2746

We took one of the routes down this morning.  The breakable crust caused me a few problems but Tina showed how to do it.

The route emerges on the road up to the Gotthard Pass.  It’s closed to traffic in winter so serves as a convenient  run back to the village.

Forgot to mention that we met Snow White and her seven dwarves yesterday.IMG_2734
