"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end…"
Edward Abbey
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Ev'ry morning you greet me
Small and White
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossem of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Clean and Bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossem of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Song by Richard Rodgers
"A century ago, all the major peaks of the Alps had been climbed. All except for one, the Meije. This citadel of ice and granite put up even greater resistance to the efforts of assailants than the Matterhorn…"
Henri Issellin
"If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song."
"Nature is a sumptuous theater where every day is a spectacle"
Monique Moreau
