Val Morteratsch, Switzerland
October 29th 2016
When people talk about the beauty that fall can bring to the mountains, this is exactly it! There are many glaciers in Switzerland that are on my bucket list, and the end of October was the perfect time to finally make the trip to Val Morteratsch and see the glacier and its surrounding valley, which was filled with brightly orange trees at this point. It was truly a perfect day since the sun was shining and the skies were blue, which truly made the trees glow. However, this only lasted for a little bit, because the surrounding mountain peaks are some of the tallest in all of Europe, so the sun started hiding quite early in the day, but on the other hand, the shadows of the mountains gave off an everlasting twilight feel. Although there wasn’t enough light to make it all the way to the end of the trail, we still did manage to make it right next to the glacier, which initially looks small from far away, but its actual size is still quite impressive. This was probably the only bad part of the day - thinking about how big the glacier originally used to be. Not only was it obvious from the size of the valley, the height of the cliffs on the sides or simply the glaring lines caused by previous erosion, but they also had photos and markers alongside the trail, marking the original length in previous years. So yeah, definitely wanted to enjoy views like this as much as possible, which is why I was still on the trail, hiking back even though it had already gotten super dark and the stars were shining, because almost every view from all possible angles was worth savoring and taking plenty of pics.
