You're missing the sunshine here at the moment Hollins but those views are superb and the weather looks good too.  You are so lucky to have the best of both worlds.    $good$

It does look a bit chilly, Hollins, but do post some more photos when the sun comes out, as it will be beautiful then if your previous photos are anything to go by.

Have a lovely time.

What lovely photos, Hollins, I particularly like the armchair in the wood!

Thank you for the nice comments and interest in the photos.
Yes Blodyn, it was quite a shock seeing an old chair in the woods. The Swiss aren't known for leaving junk around. There was some tree felling nearby and I wondered if the foreman fancied a comfy seat!
Sunny today so lunch at the lake and a visit to the attractive town of Thun.
There is a very different atmosphere by the lake from that in the mountains but they are only half an hour apart.

Ha! No sorry, I think I must have been too hungry and eager to get on with it!

I travelled back from Switzerland yesterday in torrential rain. The weather really disgraced itself but while we were there we did experience a few days of true alpine sun.
This time we were walking not skiing. Even in the winter there are many miles of pisted trails which are a delight on a sunny day. The photo which says "Wanderweg" is the sign for these walks and if there is a snowman symbol it means it is a walk that is open in the winter as well.
Most of the train rides in Switzerland are incredibly scenic and somehow more so in the sun and snow.
