Irish man at home. Yosemite is an incredible place I've been in many times from all fantastic Nature shows. Would love to visit.....it's a thing you really need to plan and think ahead for. Difficult trip?

One thing not captured by photography is the loud rumbling and cracking of ice shearing off the cliffside...

They’re just beautiful. Or frosted like that? So magical, but I’d love to camp in those woods too 🥲

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful shot! I was just there in August. I'd just like to point out something cool that I didn't know about until I returned from my trip and took a close look at my own photos... if you zoom in carefully you can see Bivacco Gervasutti; it's a crazy fiberglass composite tube bivouac perched halfway up the glacier complete with a dining room and sleep space for 12. Ridiculously impressive, or maybe impressively ridiculous?

Anyways, hope you found that interesting. Happy trails!

I was just thinking that wow. I've never seen this area but you can tell how much that Glacier has receded in recent years.

Same here in Alaska, it's sad and concerning...

Of course it does! It's Molise that doesn't

Wait... Aosta Valley exist?!

Yea, many Italians speak French there!

So pretty

Stunning!

link for anyone else that was confused like I was

Maybe better that way. The water is so cold that when you hit it, you instantly have an urge to take a deep breath. I don't know how people do it from high up. I jumped from about 12 feet, was underwater for like 2 seconds, and felt like I was completely out of breath when I got to the surface

Is this where Hannibal crossed

Lovely. Is it somewhere near Almora / Ranikhet?

Thank you so much for posting this. Planning a trip to this area and was looking for hikes to do. This one looks spectacular!

Magic, indeed! ...and thanks for the encouragement

Yes, in your comment you said the Mont Blanc tunnel goes from the Aosta Valley to Switzerland. But the tunnel goes from the Aosta Valley to Chamonix in France.

Looking forwards to seeing some more. Must have felt a bit magic to visit a place humans don't live.

The same very touristy places from canada are on here a lot. There is a lot more out there that doesnt get upvoted or posted at all.

It's fairly inexpensive now and I'll tell you it doesn't come fucking close.

Isn’t this the Aosta Valley? That is what the title says.

Thank you for the tips. I am luckily respectful enough to nature to never tempt fate with animal encounters and we will definitely get bear spray. I have two kids so can never be too careful out there. I did hear about the 80ft cliff diving and would love to play daredevil with my son but his dad would probably die of a heart attack if we tried. We are in the area for two solid weeks traveling from Jasper to Lake Louise to Banff and Waterton.

They can speak a bit of french but it is not widely spoken as a first language.
