Pierre's Chalet :: La Forclaz, Switzerland

Dent Blanche on the left, Pierre's Chalet is second from the top.
Moyens de Breona, a collection of chalets above La Forclaz. Pierre's is fourth from the top.
Standard government train marker. So handy! Though the walking times are often misleading.

Made it to the top (~9,000') and found spectacular views of a cloud layer.
