video of the day

In this beautiful Sunday i returned to the Haut Valais, to the region of Belalp.
I took the car until Taatsche(1780m), start the hike by the marked path until Ball, at Bäll i continue NO, cross the river and quit the marked path to NO heading straight to Grisighorn, there are some old marks until about 2400m, Schonu Biel, from there i spotted the key passage to join the East ridge of Grisighorn, there are some usefull cairns along the way, once at the ridge i followed it until the summit, there are some passages of climbing grade I, that can be avoided by the left side, on the right side there is a void all along the way.
With 3h10m of hike i reached the Cross at the summit of Grisighorn(3177m), colossal view to Bietschhorn, one the most beautiful mountains in the Valais.
I ate my sandwich and had plenty of time to appreciate the landscape. It is my 82th summit 3000 in the Valais canton.
To return i hiked the same way, sort of, 1h45m from the summit until the car, what a nice hike and a beautiful day.
