Following recommendations from Simon Hale and on various Outdoors Magic postings, we have changed the plan for our first alpine expedition. Chamonix, our original destination can be somewhat intimidating to novice alpinists, it would appear - especially those that are going without a guide!
The new venue will be Arolla in the Swiss Valais and we hope to summit La Luette (3,548m) and Pigne d’Arolla (3,796m). Both peaks have routes that are graded ‘F’ for facile (easy) - well we shall see!
We will take advantage of a couple of mountain huts for overnight accommodation.

Curious, I’ve just posted a photo of Cabane des Vignettes - looks a bit scary to me!
