October 13, 2024,(fast) Auf dem Sparrhorn (3021 m)

Today I wanted to climb the Sparrhorn (3021 m).

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Valais was not so good early in the morning.

Nevertheless, I took the first train to Brig.

Brig was in the fog and it was raining heavily. I decided to try it anyway.

The post bus took me to Blatten and the cable car to Belalp.
