Adelboden day six: not racing to the top

Friday was intended to be the day we got to a couple of summits, including Elsighorn. We were taken by taxi  then cable car to Elsigbach. Not far from the lift station, we came across our first Burnt Orchid - see below. We then started the long ascent.... Long and fast - because of the deadline to get the late afternoon bus back. This was too fast for Rosie, so we decided to bail out and make our own way down. So we re-traced our steps to the cable car, then used the very expensive map we'd bought to find a lovely route back to Adelboden along the side of the valley in the sunshine. The GPS track below includes the cable car descent!
