The last week of my ski season was by coincidence another Bishorn trip. Despite having been here last week I was amazed by the change in snow cover - we walked all the way to the hut!
The next day - with skis on feet at last - we found excellent spring snow before a second very comfortable night at the Turtmann hut.
Having climbed up to the Tracuit hut we were ready for the Bishorn but disappointed to awake to thick cloud and snow. Not ideal.
Happily things improved enough for us to reach 4000m before finally turning back in deteriorating weather and poor visibility. We skied powder on a firm base down a deserted glacier, all very atmospheric, before walking out down the Turtmanntal in a blizzard. A strange end to a snowless winter!
