Description

After all the Switzerland postings of the summer I realise we've reached our last hike! Time flies! After yesterday's Fieschertal hike we've chosen the Simplonpass (1997 m, 6552 ft) as parking place, from where we start our hike to the Monte Leone Hütte (2848 m, 9344 ft) on the border of Switzerland and Italy. We park the car at the Hospiz, where we listen careful to the weather report. It seems to be stable weather this day, so after adding the necessary tanning oil (sun screen) it's time to go. The first vista shows the friendly weather in the morning mood of the mountains. The snow-covered mountains on the background reflect much light and seem overexposed, but underexposing would cause the trees in the valley to become too dark.
