Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[GregG]

For an opening bid I'll say somewhere in the Dolomites, if I had access to Google Earth I would go hunting for those tarns.... (anyone?).

[commando]

Europe's Cameron corner
Swiss France Italy

[eggs]

Neither spot is correct - but Cameron is not far off
The tarns are named - but the darker black sloped wall at back left is a clue - its not dirt...
The granite skyline should indicate the general area.

[commando]

Go to Mont Blanc then do what the ducks do in winter.

[eggs]

Well - I am directly below Mt Blanc - but the lakes have a name..
Not sure I follow that answer??

[commando]

Hi eggs it wasn't an answer, it was a hint to whoever took it.
6.15 Kms South from Mont Blanc
Miage lakes Italy

[eggs]

Yes commando
Lac Du Miage embedded in the Glacier du Miage
[The sloping dark is dirty ice.]

[commando]

Thanks Eggs
great spot
Same area next

This could well be his hut, can't see any reason why not, I think there is a prince on a bridge on a castle moat down there in the valley, you need to squint a bit to see him properly. Just saying

[eggs]

Ober Rofels is a fair way from Mt Blanc??

[commando]

Nice one Greg i watched the Sound of Music a few times
Eggs its not Ober Rofols or Heidi Village
Its not a house

Apologies for vanishing after posting a photo recently.
I went on-service in the hospital here the day I posted that and in the ensuing chaos of that week forgot to reply.
No trolling intended.

Crag Hill track but on Sail looking towards Scar Crags with Keswick in the distance.
PS Fantastic photo

^This is correct.

[GregG]

Well Commando, we have been stuck on top of the Alps for eleven days now on this International Where is it "cliff-hanger" (pun intended), maybe you could throw down a clue or two to help us climb out. So in the meantime I reckon it could be the little wooden hut thingie just near the top of the Bossoms chair lift, theres bound to be one. Or not.

[commando]

Hi Greg
The toilet drop from the hut will make your head spin...

[GregG]

Somewhere near Tre le Tete refuge?

[commando]

Head North East

Solvay hut. On the Hornli ridge. Matterhorn switzerland.

[eggs]

Fascinating - I can just make that out in my photo of the Matterhorn.
Amazing place for a hut

[CBee]

Arguably the most iconic hut in the world.

[eggs]

Probably - looks like it gets plenty of traffic.
This one at about 5100m would not be as well known.
[Not competition.....yet]

[CBee]

Interesting. I believed Margherita hut was the highest in the world at around 4500m.

[commando]

Solvay hut. On the Hornli ridge. Matterhorn switzerland.

That's the one, you cant stay there its for emergency use only.
Next up

[CBee]

The highest peak on the left.

[eggs]

Might need a country to start - houses don't look like the Himalayas?

[CBee]

Italy. The iconic pyramid-like peak can be seen from far away...

[johnw]

Monviso?

[CBee]

Monviso it is. That was easy. I was kind.

[johnw]

Monviso it is. That was easy. I was kind.

Yes, you were kind. I haven't been there but it wasn't too hard to work out.

Let's try another mountain. Canada:

Mount Kerkeslin, Jasper NP via Jasper, Alberta Canada

[CBee]

Hmmm...Edith Cavell?

[GregG]

Might be Mt Aberdeen
