This weekend we took a trip up to Fiesch to enjoy our first Mountain Weekend of the year!
It also happened to be one of the coldest weekends, with tempertures reaching between -10°C to -15°C, though the wind chill made it feel colder.
This also meant plenty of fresh snow though!
The Boys, excited early on Saturday morning. They were up and ready before I even knocked on their door!
Karim’s reaction once the cold really set in!
A little morning tranquility at the Aletsch Arena slopes.
That tranquility quickly turned to high octane skiing once the wind kicked up a bit.
Some multicultural tea to chase the cold out of our bodies. The sign really helped us avoid any confusion.
Going down into Fiesch for a walk and grocery run.
Super interesting and old buildings found throughout Fiesch. Apparently they are built this way to prevent animals from getting at the stored food inside.
A water mill that had frozen over.
