Pure Rock, Via Ferrata, Mountain Biking and Sailing Week


We set out to climb high, but pulled off quite a variant- climbing, sailing and free-ride mountain biking appears to have quite a future in Verbier.

The snows of Thursday, August 3rd, put a damper on many of the high, alpine peaks. We improvised with some downhill biking, via ferrata, sailing, and multi-pitch climbing- all within 5 days. The surrounding hills and lakes of Verbier offer some pretty fun activities if one is willing to improvise! A short video of the sail showed the mellow winds we had before it really started to blow on Lake Geneva.

The forecast is pretty dismal. It's snowing at around 2600m now. Expect it to warm a bit and blow hard from the South as the Foehn kicks in.
