Well, enough of all the Julie Andrews sound of music stuff. What would Captain Von Trapp say.
The paths have been well marked and mostly easy to walk. No mud so far, not many road walking sections.
My fears of falling to any alpine death have not come to fruition so far. There have been many extremely steep slopes but we have been walking across them not up them.
Most days have been about 6 hrs walking with several refreshment breaks available.
Today was the first rain (after we finished), two days were 30+ and none have been icy or snowing. There has been snow lying in some high areas. The wind has mostly been welcome cool breezes.
No breaks or sprains, small blisters and minor chaffing, a little sunburn and stiffness. Walking up is ok for the first 700m then its hard work. Walking downhill is more uncomfortable unless it is very gentle ( a rarity).
We are about average age, with some teens and younger and a few seventies and older
