Today I went on another hike starting from the hostel in Gryon. It went up a valley to a little town, then climbed steeply up a hill to another area in the ski resort where there was a big cross at the peak (I forgot to take a picture of the cross). It was a fun hike. The valleys in Switzerland are very dramatic. The valley floors tend to be very lush and green while the peaks above are bare rock and snowcapped even in the summer.
