***ENGLISH:*** Last week I had a vacation and I went with my brother in the mountains in Switzerland. On monday tuesday was very cold, about minus 15 - minus 20 C. No bad weather just bad clothes :) ... man say soo and this is true! On both days we was about 5-7 houres on the way, sometimes just with snowshoe was possible because the snow was about 120-160 cm deep. At the beginning was foggy, but later the sun came through and gave a little warm feeling. A little snowfall, frozen nose, lips and eyebrows was no obstacle for us. :) It was a small challenge because of the cold temperatures, but we did it and happy about that. This tour is highly recommended also for beginners. What you need is just endurance, snowshoe, warm, light and good clothes. ***GERMAN:*** Letzte Woche hatte ich Urlaub und ich ging mit meinem Bruder in die Berge in der Schweiz. Am Montag Dienstag war sehr kalt, etwa minus 15 - minus 20 C. Kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung :) ... Mann sagt soo und das ist wahr! An beiden Tagen waren wir ca. 5-7 Stunden unterwegs, manchmal war nur mit Schneeschuhen möglich, da der Schnee ca. 120-160 cm tief war. Am Anfang war es neblig, aber später kam die Sonne durch und gab ein kleines warmes Gefühl. Ein wenig Schneefall, gefrorene Nase, Lippen und Augenbrauen waren kein Hindernis für uns. :) Es war eine kleine Herausforderung wegen der kalten Temperaturen, aber wir haben es geschafft und waren glücklich darüber. Diese Tour ist auch für Anfänger sehr zu empfehlen. Was Sie brauchen, ist nur Ausdauer, Schneeschuh, warme, leichte und gute Kleidung. *** [![28515176_10156294886118627_6358054818612100364_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSSR5gpgB1aPckkF9Ctwn5pffS48giYmmRLrSgNgorBAX/28515176_10156294886118627_6358054818612100364_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSSR5gpgB1aPckkF9Ctwn5pffS48giYmmRLrSgNgorBAX/28515176_10156294886118627_6358054818612100364_o.jpg) ^{*Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!*} *** [![28516003_10156294886098627_4596481427499208854_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNxD19L5acFo9KRm3a2WvxVMW1q9QJLCdemVzoF1rEKoq/28516003_10156294886098627_4596481427499208854_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNxD19L5acFo9KRm3a2WvxVMW1q9QJLCdemVzoF1rEKoq/28516003_10156294886098627_4596481427499208854_o.jpg) ^{*Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!*} *** [![28619311_10156294886033627_6764673886996980942_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYCpEyQnsHWrakTmqD6PexWBidz8C6rNamGhvZrKK6UU8/28619311_10156294886033627_6764673886996980942_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYCpEyQnsHWrakTmqD6PexWBidz8C6rNamGhvZrKK6UU8/28619311_10156294886033627_6764673886996980942_o.jpg) ^{*Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!*} *** [![28619661_10156294886113627_2352835423083041510_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPtEXxRp6nXTxCtp84PMsDs8DXt8iyDYTg9F9ucwogdxx/28619661_10156294886113627_2352835423083041510_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPtEXxRp6nXTxCtp84PMsDs8DXt8iyDYTg9F9ucwogdxx/28619661_10156294886113627_2352835423083041510_o.jpg) ^{*Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!*} *** [![28828395_10156294885943627_5270108536217085782_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU8iFhTW72t3yRT2P4bcLETcxsGJVxnFYuUTUKSQBatFr/28828395_10156294885943627_5270108536217085782_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU8iFhTW72t3yRT2P4bcLETcxsGJVxnFYuUTUKSQBatFr/28828395_10156294885943627_5270108536217085782_o.jpg) ^{*Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!*} *** ![axalp_map.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPFhFL4DDX71CB5MDfzxW1AGTN38xpk1GMEieiqLN42Yq/axalp_map.JPG) We toke the way 1-3 ... see map below ![axalp_map2.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVu3b9p9FEndYTxKyf7ExeKThsYQDmzPi38yQDNd1M8VT/axalp_map2.JPG)
