It was a busy 10 days in the Alps. Greg and I went on a hike to Stockhorn on Saturday August 23 with a colleague from Zurich. The following Monday and Tuesday, Vivianne and Brigitte did the "Haute Cime" of the Dents du Midi. Finally, Greg and I did two day hikes in the Alpes Valaisanne. On Saturday 30 we went to Lac d'Emosson and Sunday 31 to the Cabanne de Rambert above Ovronnaz.
