Scialpinismo 2018: ultimi metri di salita alla Testa del Furggen con partenza da Breuil Cervinia. Un tempo orgoglio della famosa località sciistica per l'ardita funivia che portava solo pochi eletti alla volta sul gabbiotto presente sulla cima (ancora visibile anche se in cattivo stato), dal 1993, anno in cui la funivia fu dismessa, è diventata una classica gita scialpinistica, dominata dal Cervino (alle mie spalle in questo caso). Una volta la pista del Furggen era ambitissima e per pochi, anche solo per la discesa della parte iniziale....dapprima direttamente dal gabbiotto, poi tramite una galleria scavata nella roccia della parete a destra....ma l'inizio della pista mi è stato descritto come decisamente impegnativo da chi la percorse quando era ancora attiva....in questo senso posso dire che non ha deluso. Panorama come al solito grandioso...adoro quella zona, nonostante tutti gli impianti che hanno costruito in questo caso la montagna si sta riprendendo tutto... Ho scelto il viraggio in BN perché adoro farlo con le foto in quota e perché vedendola provo a immaginare gli sciatori che per primi, negli anni '60, si fiondavano giù dall'arrivo della funivia. Buona visione! Ciao. Davide

Beautiful composition and b/w, I also really like the vignetting. In the center of the photo the "Mio" Breithorn towers and observes everything :-D, you found a great day, beautiful scenery. Congratulations David! Hello. Simone.

Thanks Simone! I tried a bit ' vintage processing because I liked to relate the arrival of the old historic cable car now in disuse with the current situation in which the mountain takes over. It's always your Breithorn! By the way this side presents what I think is its most beautiful side.
The day was gorgeous, really.... hot to be in late April but a crazy visibility. As soon as I can also load some of the Matterhorn.
soon and have A good evening!

Hello Simone!
Eh Yes, down there at the bottom, the pointed top on the left is just the nordend. Unfortunately I have not yet managed to Salirla....ci I was born two years ago but in the end I climbed the Dufour and make them both was too challenging.
is a little beat mica for caso....la via normal salt from Switzerland and it costs a heritage to get to the base, if you add us that is a top also demanding and is still lower than the nearby Dufour, you understand why they go in pochi....ma not debite , sooner or later I hope to be able to climb it!
Good evening!
David
