Hiking in the Alps

Just got back from hiking in France,Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. It was not a difficult trip but really wanted to show my husband the area as an overview. Just glad I didn’t gain weight as the portions of food are now American size- it didn’t used to be that way. Anyway here are some pics. The snowy summit is Mt. Blanc, then glacier hike in Zermatt. I’ve pointed out the rebuilt Hornli Hut where you can start to the summit of the Matterhorn. I’ve hiked to the old hut but I didn’t have time to go to the new one (150+ beds). The view between St Moritz and Pontresina, and our 3000 ft up/down to the Reimannhaus Hut.5nt9kqur6zlf.jpeg
