Loschental: This hopelessly steep valley, carved deep by glaciers in the Alps was difficult for me to reach (a Gondola, 2 buses, and a train up a hillside). The valley remained in the shadows of the southern peaks until well after noon. With clear skiess it was downright cold! The cold and dry air caused giant new crystals to grow in the snow. When the sunshine reach the valley floor, the snow sparkled like diamonds. I really enjoyed skiing up the valley, past the last plowed road, through two shuttered villages in hibernation for the winter, to the base of a mighty glacier.
