Last hike in Saas-Fee before winter sets in.

Down in the valley the larches had turned gold; up at Felskinn and Mittelallalin, the first snow had already dusted the glaciers and ridges. Two seasons in a single day, with a glacial lake as a bonus.

See you next season, mountains 🏔️

From Felskinn, a crevassed glacier flows down in several tongues between brown rock bands, beneath three snow-covered peaks. A glacial lake sits in the bottom right. Lift cables cross the frame and wisps of cloud cling to the slope.

Panorama from Mittelallalin: fresh snow on rocks and a ridge in the foreground. Beyond a deep valley, a range of grey-brown peaks lightly dusted with snow, with clouds clinging to their flanks.

Looking down on the village of Saas-Fee in an alpine valley. Larches with golden-yellow needles fill the foreground; snow-dusted peaks rise in the distance under a deep blue sky.

Two rocky ridges dusted with fresh snow form a V-shaped col in the centre, against an intense blue sky. Station buildings sit at the foot of the col, and neat rows of avalanche barriers line the slope in the foreground.
