SanderNot in the wild, therefore an abundance of Edelweiss in a planter at the Cabane de la Tourche mountain hut. Checked, but they are certainly real.
Day 2: The Grande Dent de Morcles (2'969m / 9'740ft) is a mountain in the west part of canton Valais/Wallis, Switzerland. From the hut it is an easy hike, with the last 150 meters a T5 climb.
The view from the summit is superb. Mont Blanc (when not in clouds) and Lac Léman (which is Lake of Geneva, but let nobody hear you call it like that) can be seen. Not everybody felt comfortable descending via the "Grande Vire" to the Cabane de la Tourche, which is a steep descent with a higher chance of rockfall, so we decided to circle back and take the safer but much longer route to the hut.
We arrived just in time for diner. During our hike we met a German woman hiking alone and it appeared to be her birthday. To celebrate we had a nice bottle of local wine together. It was a perfect end of a long but satisfying day.
