Heat wave in Switzerland and still loads of snow from last winter. I had discovered the Fribourg Alps earlier that year and thought that this would be the perfect destination for the weekend. The ascent was long and very hot but the views from Vanil Noir made up for the sweat. We enjoyed a well deserved break and the panorama of the alpine ridge, the nearby climbing area of Gastlosen and the view into the hills of the French part of Switzerland.
