Photo's taken on our trip to the Val d'Hérens (july 2014).

Our plan was to try and climb the Tête Blanche (from Cabane de Bertol) and Mont Blanc de Cheilon (from Cabane des Dix), and if we had time perhaps La Luette or Pigne d'Arolla (also from Cabane des Dix).Unfortunately the weather wasn't brilliant. At the beginning of our trip it the weather was rather bad (mist, rain and snow higher up the mountain), so we couldn't climb Tête Blanche. Due to the snow that had fallen we also abandoned our plan to try and climb he Mont Blanc the Cheilon. Instead we made a few beautiful hikes (to the Cabane de Bertol, Pas de Chèvres and Chemeuil) and a superb climb (not because of its technical difficulties, but because of its stupendous views and fun climb) to the Pointe de Darboneire, Pointe de Vouasson and Mont de l'Etoile (from the Cabane des Aiguilles Rouges).
