After a hectic trip in a snowstorm, we hurried to find refuge in the Gamine chalet. To our great surprise and to our greatest pleasure, the chalet was well heated, clean, and ready to welcome us. The next day, the storm passed, we were treated to a breakfast with a view overlooking the beautiful valley that runs along the Valais and the surrounding mountains. The rest of the stay was a lot of fun between winter activities and warm dinners.
