Nearly a month went by already since I’m here, spending my time in Switzerland. It’s now the third summer here in the Valais region and I’m still fascinated by this magnificent mountain scenery… The 4000 m peaks soooo close…
Spent the first weekend in Annency with Tom and Sandra to work on our upcoming movie “Shukran Morocco” and moved later close to Zermatt…
Seeing the Matterhorn is always fascinating me and it’s a goal to reach the summit one day. During summer time it’s to busy though, so I might come back in autumn and try it then with a friend. Will see how the conditions will be then… But we already made some plans to ski some of the real big mountains that I’m really looking for…
Just read that Fabi (Lentsch) and some of his buddies tried to ski the Lyskamm North Face but they had to cancel their accent as the bad weather was moving in to fast… Next time you’ll do it Fabi! He is such a young, talented mountain loving Freerider. Many years to come for him… I think he’s such a cool guy! 20 years – wow, amazing!

Some very good friends have been here for a visit. Dani and Iris stayed here for four days and we had such a great time together!!!! Luckily I was able to accompany them for two days and showed them some of the best parts of the Valais region. One day we climbed the Jegihorn (3206m) in the Saastal region and biked a cool trail down. The second day we drove to the Aletsch region (Unesco World heritage) and spent the day with a hike and bike mission – thanks girls for staying easy 😉 Challenging trails with lots of tossing and carrying the bike… The weather in the morning didn’t look good at all but we were there and made the best out of it and yes, the weather god meant it good with us and showed the beauty of this special part of Switzerland… Thanks girls for such a great time with you!!!!!
Here are some pix:
I’m quite often biking to Zermatt, enjoying my time there… On my last weekend off, I had an amazing bike ride alongside the Matterhorn… Täsch – Zermatt – Furi – Zmuttgletscher – Trift – Zermatt… What a cool ride and beautiful view…
But see the pix…
The next day was quite easy, drove to Saasvalley to Mattmark, hiked up with the bike towards Monto Moro but had to return as it was so windy and the clouds were coming in… What a cool, challenging trail though…
That’s some update from me here… Hope everybody is doing fine and enjoying summer!!!
All the best, Mel
