Typical Swiss chalet scene. |
One of the trains serving these valleys. |
I'm not sure why that mountain is so mis-shapen at its peak! |
A small plane takes off from Saanen Airfield. |
The main street in Gstaad. |
It's very chocolate-boxey... |
The railway viaduct at the edge of the village. |
The very snooty 5* hotel. We didn't stay here! |
Another train line, hugging the contours. |
View from a cable car down the valley. |
A glacial cirque (hollow) in the mountain. |
At the top of the cable-car, it's cold and foggy! The glacier stretches for miles in that direction. |
That's the real summit - but I couldn't be bothered to climb up there. |
One for the family album :-) |
Another shot of the glacier. |
This outcrop is quite convenient for the halfway point of the cable-car. |
That's a crazy rock formation! |
The edge of the glacier. |
Back to greenery in the valley below. |
Another of the mountain ranges. |
Hilltop chalet! |
More mountains. |
Another cable car photo: I'm not sure whether this looks nicer in white or green... |
A farmer's house on the hillside. |
