The passes are blocked by snow
... from the cattle in the fields. Each cow is fitted with a bell so as when it moves these large copper bells ring. I think it’s so the owners can keep an eye on them and know their whereabouts.
Once back onto route 6 I stopped at some roadside services and found out that even this road is blocked ahead by heavy snow and so just like in the summer it means a long trek north and a massive circular drive on the A2 motorway.
I set up my satnav and set a few via ...
Chur and the train trip to Morges
A pretty rugged night sleep but we know that tonight we will be back in Morges in beds that we will sleep well.

220 metres to the ground
... put yourself in an upwards position by pulling on a rope and then wait to be pulled up back. And then I have to go on this little platform. I am still secured by a rope to the structure. From here on, I just look straight in front of me. I now understand why all the previous jumpers where doing this. My head is just empty. And then, it is my turn.
