Spring-like June

The past winter was generally pretty long in the alpine region and the snow stayed longer on the ground than usually. We’ve been hiking in the Southern Alps many times before in June, and while it's considered a summer month, in the altitude it is often still springtime. It just actually fun not knowing if you’ll come across snow or if you’ll see some pretty flower fields and lush greeneries.

This June we came across all of the above, and I must say it’s quite something to have so many different elements combined in a scenery. Not to mention all the rivers and waterfalls that are running wild and plentiful this time of year! Although we were a bit limited by the snow and couldn’t go as far as planned on some treks, we ended up having great couple of days outdooring and spending time together with our parents. Also, we did a little riverside barbeque on one of the days- it's nice to have some downtime… and just eat, drink, and eat some more…
