Tent hike Gadelouisee

Ever since I first visited Lake Gadeloui a few years ago, it has been a dream of mine to come up here with my tent for a night.
And this weekend the time had come. We quickly stocked up with a new tent and off we went. Two women on outdoor trails.
Starting from Gadmen, the route simply climbs up through a fairytale-like moss-covered fir forest. The hairpin bends never end. Finally, above the tree line, we take a break...two boys come towards us from above...one says to the other: "Now we have the steepest section"!
Whaaaat? thanks for that.

And he was right... soon we were scrambling up the mountain on all fours. It doesn't want to end.
But at some point we arrive and there it is in front of us... Lake Gadenlouisee...

Find a pitch and then pitch the tent by trial and error.

The best part comes, an aperitif with a fantastic view of the Swiss Dolomites.

Unfortunately, clouds roll in and the sunset takes place without a spectacle of colour.

Thankfully, I quickly fall into a deep sleep until the gusts of wind start. From this moment on, the tent is flapping and my thoughts are only focussed on whether I'm about to be blown over the cliffs.

Well, every night has an end. We pack up and descend the same way again.
