Itinerary description
Ever wondered about good ways to test physical fitness? Well, here’s an idea: consider a 20 km snowshoe slog through half a meter of freshly fallen snow … That's what I did on Sunday on the high plateaus in the east of the country, and it was seriously tough.
I started my ordeal at Mont Rigi and plodded along the Polleur, Bayehon and Ghaster creeks. Especially the trail along the latter was virtually impossible, and at a certain point I had to give up by steeply climbing out of the valley towards a track in a more reasonable condition.
The weather was pretty murky with a couple of snow showers. Not overly cold though.
