Alphubel, 4206m. 11.10am, 08/08/12 Anyone know what happened to the Alphubel cross? It was only erected in 2010 and this seems to be all that remains. The plaque refers to the Saas Fee pastor Konrad Rieder, who administered the blessing at the initial ceremony, but it doesn't match the plaques on any pre-2012 photos of the cross I can find. The cross was around 3m high, and one explanation - that this is the top of it, with the rest buried - seems unlikely, given that this was high summer.
