Photo @chrisburkard // When researching the Odle Geisler Massif I saw photos of these incredible jagged peaks meeting the warm sloping grass hillsides. I had no idea I was 1 month too late to see it in those conditions and was completely unprepared. Instead it was under 1ft of fresh snow.. The trek was arduous, cold and a bit disappointing to not see it in all its autumn glory. But you can't help but leave smiling when you have it all to yourself.
