The Alps are the largest mountain range in Europe, covering Italy, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany and Slovenia in an arc. There are 82 peaks above 4,000 meters above sea level. If you want to experience the beauty of these dangerous peaks firsthand, I most recommend this route, from the French town of Chamonix under Mont Blanc of "European Roof" to the Swiss town of Zermatt under the cloudy Matterhorn of the sword, in the mountains, witnessing the glacier into the alpine lakes, and the beautiful Swiss town with the stream. This is the Alps and the best mountain hiking route in Europe!

    Deep into central Switzerland, you can explore the Rona glacier. Hiding the mountain road in the middle of the mountain is a favorite place for motorcycle racing parties and bicycles to find the abuse party, driving with extra care. Switzerland now has more than 1,400 glaciers, large and small, and it is expected that there will be less than 50 by 2100. The famous covert covers for glaciers have a 50% effect of slowing glacier melting but the cost is very expensive, costing tens of millions of Swiss francs a year, and now try other ways to collect glacier water for reuse. The so-called quilt is actually a thickened special fabric, which is resistant to heat and UV ultraviolet rays. The glacier is the source of the Rhone River in France, where meltwater flows along Valais into Lake Lemon in Geneva and then into the Rhone River in France.

    Rhône Glacier is located near Gletsch in the eastern part of the canton of Valais, Switzerland, and is the source of Rhône. It stretches about 8 km and has a maximum width of 1000 meters. It was once the largest glacier in Europe and its tributaries can reach as far as Lyon, France. The Lund glacier is currently shrinking and is Switzerland's fifth largest. It is no exaggeration to say that this is my favorite part of this free trip. Follow Am Grimselpass into col de la Furka and reach Oberwald. Afternoon tea at Hôtel Belvédère, I started walking towards the glacier. After passing a souvenir shop, the tickets are purchased inside, €7/P (about 60 RMB per person). This area is almost full of locals, except that we have no Asian faces. I learned from the ticket salesman that the tour group will not come here, because it is only suitable for free travel. Tickets are bought and entered from a glass door behind the ticket salesman. What I want to see most is a lake. The bottom of the lake (that is, the direction along the road) is all mountain roads, and the top is really white. It is not the sight of the dry goose feathers and snow in the winter in the north of China. The sun reflects the dazzling light, which is as sparkling as the water. The ice layer is thinner, and the blue that flows under the ice can be seen. It is clean and empty. I can't wait to get around the lake and move up. My friends really admire me so not afraid of death ~ and I climb the glacier together foreigners, all are non-slip mountaineering shoes, canes, non-slip gloves, punch jackets, sunglasses...only I have a sweater, a pair of jeans, a pair of topshop sneakers stuffy head rushing. Afterwards I was very curious, all the way up, jumping, walking and stopping, and crawling around, and didn't even fall, it was amazing. The ice closest to the lake is the thinnest, and some areas have cracked into a small trickle, and the ice blue snow water is shining down with a little sun. Slowly approaching, it seems that you can feel the creaking sound of the ice beneath your feet. I reached out and dipped in the water, and the feeling of coldness spread quickly from my fingertips. I could not suppress the excitement and excitement. The cracks gradually narrowed until they closed. The ice layer was thicker and thicker. My footsteps were also bold. Along the way, many different sizes, because the glacier melt ice layer thinned down, naturally falling into the ice cave. Like a natural well, the depth is unfathomable, and the gradient from white to blue is amazing, crystal clear. It's the real sky blue, without a single millimeter of magazines, that gets people stuck in. It is more suitable for the energetic Xiaoqiang (such as me), hemp to the lake is tired, let alone the distance may need hands and feet and can only look at me like a monkey as far away, leaving me with distant images. In recent years, the traces of the retreat have been clear due to the shrinking glaciers. Maybe in another decade, the Rona glacier will no longer exist, and it can only be seen from history in its icy and clean posture.

    The Rona glacier ice world, the white Rona glacier is located near a village in the eastern Swiss canton of Valais, which is the source of the Long River, stretching about 9 kilometers, and the maximum width can reach 1,000 meters. The Rona glacier was once the largest glacier in Europe, and its tributaries can reach as far as Lyon, France. I drove along Am Grimselpass with a few friends and finally arrived at Oberwald. After a break for afternoon tea, we were ready to start our hike to Rona Glacier. At the beginning of the walk, we passed a small store selling souvenirs. Remember that tickets are purchased here, and the conversion into RMB is about 60 yuan/person. When we lined up to buy tickets, we found that they were basically foreign tourists, and there were no Asian faces except a few of us. Later, the conductor told us that the tour group would not be arranged here because it is only suitable for free travel. After buying the ticket, enter through the glass door behind the conductor. Because I have never seen such snow in my southern city, I was thrilled to see the first sight of Rona glacier. The Rona glacier is a world of ice and snow, white everywhere, and in the sun, I actually see these snow reflected brilliantly, like clear water. In the thin ice layer, I can see the blue water flowing under the ice. For me, this visit to Rona glacier is a magical experience. It’s just a pity that the glacier has been shrinking in recent years, and maybe in another decade or decades, the Rona glacier will disappear. So friends who want to come must not let themselves have regrets. Address: Valais near Furka Pass Open Hour: 10:00-17:00

    A refreshing and secluded place, don't miss the Rona glacier is located in the Swiss canton of Valais. As the name suggests, the most suitable time here is to play in winter. It is not only full of ice and snow, but also the feeling of standing on the glacier, as if you have become particularly small. It is incomparable to nature. The terrain of this glacier is very rugged, so we came with a lot of climbing tools. So we went very smoothly along the way. My little friend and I stepped on this, and the snow felt particularly comfortable. The snow was directly past the ankle and was still quite deep. Follow the road of the mountain and climb all the way to the mountain. After two hours of climbing we came to a lake where the water was not frozen and very clear. My friend and I stood next to it and saw that the white snowy mountains opposite were reflected in this lake. I immediately took out my camera to record the beautiful moment. Looking back on the mountain, a large cloud went directly through the top of the mountain and floated towards us, which was particularly spectacular. After watching this, we went to another attraction, that is, the ice cave, there is a manual paved road, and my friends and I walked in, found that the ice is particularly blue, and very smooth, looking special dreamy. This glacier gives me the feeling that the whole person is relaxed and happy, and can relax well. Tips1: Open from 10 am to 5 pm. 2: Remember to bring a climbing tool. Attraction address: Valais near Furka Pass

    The source of the Rhone is a blue glacier. The Rhone glacier in Valais, Switzerland, is more than 10,000 years old, and it has been rapidly melting in the past 100 years, and scientists predict that the glacier will disappear completely by 2100. Time does not heal the pain, time only makes all the memories unremarkable.
