🎿❄️ Come with me for a thrilling snow hike in les 7 laux ski station, where we will have a two schuss adventure! We will park at Prapoutel and start with an easy trail that will soon become a steep climb up to the top of the ski station. There, we will hope for a clear sky and a stunning view, unless the clouds crash our party. 🌥️ We will probably have our lunch break on the windy and cold summit, and then turn into ice cubes. 🥶 After that, we will start our loop down. Don’t forget your sledge or thick plastic bag to slide down the station and reach back the car. 🛷 You can also leave a second pair of dry shoes in the trunk of the cars. 👟
