Later the same day we all returned to the Allalin summer ski area via the Alpin Express lift and the Metro Alpin.  Carved wooden signposts with fantastic features are common in this area, although I did not see anything as impressive as last years 'Old Man of the Mountains'.  We did the tourist things, the ice palace (more gargoyles) and the revolving restaurant where we all enjoyed a cake ... choclate of course, and thought of Maggi ;D  (really we did!)   The views on a clear day were seriously  8) 8)

Another fine day and we took the cable up to Hannig, straight up the slpoe from our chalet.  The views across to Allalin and the glaciers were great and with the aid of the new camera we spotted the summer skiers a mile or more away!  Breakfast in the sun and the chance to see Gentiana ramosa in flower and in the same area an Idas Blue butterfly which alighted just long enough ...
