Description

Sali snowshoeing buddies,


Let's start the weekend early, and go down to Wallis, then up to almost 3000m. 

What makes Augstbordhorn special is the sheer panoramic payoff. As you crunch through the pristine powder, you are surrounded by the "Big Boys.": 360-degree views of the Dom, Weisshorn, Dufourspitze, Matterhorn etc.
