Second Adder this trip
Meadows enroute to the Val de Bagnes
Another glorious day on the Haute Route.  Hot sun and blue skies all day. Day 3 ID an easier section of the trek. A long descent into the Val de Bagnes.  After lunch it's a cablecar ride up to Les Ruinettes, above Verbier, at over 2190m. Great views of the Grand Combin from here which we get even better views the following day. A lovely easy walk to the Cabane du Montfort. A great spot with stunning views and stunning sunset tonight. Another Adder spotted today, two in as many days. Lots of wonderful raspberries and myrtles out in the meadows this time of year. My favourite day of the entire trek begins tomorrow.
