A little valley tour in the alps


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Coming from Zurich over the Brienzer See...

... and entering the Valais at Brig, with Raron AB in the middle of the picture (and Sion should be in the background).

Martigny (hidden in winterly fog), and mighty Mt. Blanc to the left...

... while we turn right to follow the Rhone river. Les Dents du Midi to the left, and St. Maurice to the right, at the smallest point of the Rhone passage through the valley.

Reaching Lake Geneva at Villeneuve - surprisingly snow-covered, whilst Le Bouveret (with its fun park) is still green...

Can you see Chateau Chillon down in the middle of the picture? It was governing the coastal road for decades.

Montreux, Vevey and the vineyards to the left...

... and finally Geneva airport in front. With the usual fog - at least not too much this time.

You would make a great tour guide Gerold.

Looks like a great place to live although I must say I do enjoy the Australian climate and it's wide open sparsely populated environment a bit more.

Thanks for the congrats and for pointing that out to me.

Well, it is relatively warm here, too. 15 + °C in December is a lot...
