Back to the Mountains
This weekend I had a fantastic return to the mountains. A friend and I hiked to the Kistenstöckli (where is this?) from Brigels and overnighted in the Bifertenhütte. We had the mountain to ourselves and nobody else was staying in the hut that evening. I believe this is the highest altitude I have ever slept (not including overnight flights) at 2482m (8143 ft), and it was simply stunning to see nothing but mountain peaks as far as the eye could see. What I found very pretty was the moonlit mountains in the middle of night. Too bad it was so windy and cold that I could only enjoy it for the length of my bathroom break. Photos of the hike are online.
congrats! sounds like a fun time…
