How To Build A Castle In 3d

Pancherot

1 August 2009

include a trek to another, here's a nice climb to the top description: Pancherot. Even the official guide to the CAI / TCI (Pennine Alps vol.II) pag.401 recites that "the summit's interest almost exclusively panoramic.
keep my fingers crossed after the fog dell'Hochlicht on Wednesday, also because a large share of the group today was this mid-week excursion.
The forecast is good, but ... now we go in between two perturbatio: one that passed yesterday, and a second that will fly on the heights on Sunday.

The band is already full in Piazzale Lotto, on a day that saw few cars around. Almost everyone is focused on holidays and day trips have very little in their programs. Even on the highway to the Val d'Aosta, the music does not change: the Milanese are backing the toll Melegnano towards the sea. Good for them: is already a godsend for us as well.
MY breakfast bar is closed for electrical problems and thirsting for the band pouring coffee Antey for refreshments prior to departure. Already here you should see the Matterhorn, but the valley is under a thick and impenetrable curtain of clouds, even if it makes a nice Caldone. The
around today is not a forward-and-return is not even a ring, but it will play a crossing between the ridges between the lateral and Valtournenche Cignana Valley. We arrange the car and off we go.
The heat is heavy, or better still damp. It is the classic seven sweat shirts, passing first through the woods and then through the fields of grassland scattered with Epilobium. But silence is assured, together with the beautiful march that we care about.
Finally, after the abandoned pasture Falegnon, the environment becomes more open and breathable, thanks to the cheerful breeze. It travels like a train (but not those of Trenitalia ...) and arrive in good time at Lake Cignana.
The heat is drinking, but there are those who have already downed a liter of water and collect the precious liquid from a careless brook upstream shame that there are herds of cows being pascolatoria and pisciatoria. I remember (for once correctly) that the next pasture should be provided with a fountain, so we dive headlong to replenish the water supply with fresh water that is a pleasure. The

Pancherot is there, bumpy and mangy-looking, but I know that is kind of mind and rewards (WOW, that step poetic ...). But before we get to the window Cignana: here the views of the mountains will be denied. Take the trail + coast and here is the nice surprise of a herd of mountain goats at svacco, including some small changes during the first on rocks and slopes. Photos galore and finally reach the summit cross for a deserved rest.
While staying with an eye always to the north, I see opportunities to photograph the Matterhorn and It only remains to show the peaks due to the use of the map: Roisetta, Large and small Tournalin, Chamois, and the plain of the valley that leads Chamois. All present appeal, all (or almost) invisible to the eyes.

To take down the beautiful scenic path leading to the hydroelectric Perriere. It travels on land so beautiful and peaceful (after ostiosità at the end of the climb), I like to take it easy. But here there are people with legs from his horse (or horses) and most are given for the change: uphill pulls Cavalla Blonde, down Cavalla Mora ... facciaccia to the "weaker sex". I enjoy landscapes and photographs: the meadows are rich in butterflies (proclaimed on 1 August as the day butterfly) and flowers to misrepresent the species and number of photos we run away.
down to enter a share rarely grove of larch trees (I wonder how many have noticed the larches? Now that I told you, it certainly will swear all 15) where "Miracle" that grows here is the Matterhorn, who gives us his August image. Even better a few minutes later, where we can finally see the large bill, with its brittle rocks (or franabili) and its almost perfect pyramid.

With this image in the eyes (and with the dried beef sandwich in the stomach), we salute you: many are leaving for the holidays Agostini, a trek to see her Monday Argentera anyone for target Riccione ... there must be a reason why we enjoy so much going for the mountains?? Epilobium
