Swiss T-shirt (evolution of tools)


Too funny. The Swiss know how to make quality things.

Alpin Cow Bells (jing a ling)

It is so funny watching these hill cows walk down the single-trek trail through the town and the huge bells ringing.

Panoramic view of Grindelwald Alps

The Jung Frau region is famous from a Clint eastwood movie and the Paramount picture Company logo.

Clouds coming down quickly in mountains


The weather changes extremely FAST in the hills. That's why most climbers summit at night, the daytime is too easy for avalanches.

Hiking trail ledge ontop of Glaciers

It is a must to have snow shoes, spikes or cramp-ons in this area.

Snow avalanche cliff hanger

It is terrifying hiking under something like this.....helmet & equipment a must.

Layers of snow & ice (frozen for years)

It is very impressive to see an avalanche from afar, but it echos so loud in the chasm's.

Swiss Mommy Trekking


So cute, this healthy mom went to the summit with baby strapped to her back.
