High Lorenz in snow was borderline. Have rescheduled and went to the mountain lake.

Very nice, lonely tour over the "ridge", easy to walk for everyone as the ridge area is not exposed. The tour runs rather gently over meadows with great views on all sides. A pleasant side effect: we were surprisingly alone during the tour.
