Adventures frame my life

6 hours straight outside, in nature. 6 hours of sun. 1 summit.

The smooth bark of beech trees and translucent blond leaves shivering in the wind. The long shadows of trees on the cristalline snow, like the ghosts of winter.

9 km of snowshoeing. Lots of breaks. The first pic nic of the year. Hot almond chocolate milk at the top. Very proud smiles. And a long hike back home.


Ahhh! These little adventures, I live for them.

9km even with breaks - that's quite a trek!!
Great pictures.
Snowing here in the alps, hoping it will stop soon and the sun pay us a visit too!

Wow! The Alps! That's where I learned to ski properly! And yes, 9 km is a pretty long trek. We were quite proud of our girls!
