Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, feels almost vertical: chalet roofs and green meadows below, sheer cliffs rising immediately behind them.
The valley gives even simple village scenes a dramatic backdrop, especially when the light catches the river and slopes. 🏔️📷

Around Interlaken, Switzerland, the scenery shifts quickly from chalet-lined villages and green hillsides to high Alpine peaks.
I liked photographing the quieter details here — wooden houses, wet streets, gardens and mountains appearing through the cloud. 📷🏡

EuroTripping – Wengen to Lauterbrunnen Hike
While we stayed outside Basel, Switzerland this past summer, we drove to Lauterbrunnen, a village in a narrow valley in the Bernese Oberland region, to take a hike.
Once parked, we took a mountain train, which climbed from the 288m elevation in Lauterbrunnen up to 1274m where Wengen, a small village up on one of the ridges, overlooks the steep valley. After a quick wander in the town (and some liquid refreshment) we began to make our way back down to Lauterbrunnen.
It was another hot day and, fortunately, much of the initial hike was through fairly dense forest. This meant that we didn’t have a view of anything while in the shade — but seeing how steep the trail was, I was too busy looking down to find safe footing amongst the dirt and rock and root to care about a pretty vista. The sun was harsh and unforgiving but I did still, of course, take many shots during the hike when we did have a view or other sights to note.
Here are some images from our Wengen to Lauterbrunnen hike in Switzerland back in late June.

Switzerland 3 Months Ago
What to tell you, really? It was a glorious, sunny May 1st when I lugged my brand new pastel mint green cabin bag up a steep hill in the Swiss Alps.
Its wheels were of course useless on the gravel and it occurred to me a backpack would have been much more practical – just as it had occurred to me on another trip this summer, our short cruise to Sweden to be exact, that walking endlessly long passenger boarding bridges would have been exactly the sort of place to bring my cabin bag! Instead, I’d haphazardly packed a random shopping bag like I was just popping to the store next door. The bag only grew heavier and heavier as the trip progressed.
The irony was, I already knew our Swiss destination, Gruyères, was situated on a hilltop and was going to require some hiking to get to. I’d been there before. You’d think I would have taken that into account when packing?
Besides the inauguration of my pristine cabin bag and its perfectly neat wheels, pre-gravel, what more is there to tell you about this trip, really? I hesitate to point you towards my old posts about the same destination, because their silliness makes me cringe. Does that ever happen to you?
So let’s talk, instead, about what had changed since our previous trip to Gruyères ten years ago.
Well, first of all, we had kids this time which changed pretty much everything. Besides this little fact, I can with confidence announce to you that the cows hanging out on the hills of Gruyères no longer had cow bells. Disappointing, yes. Deal-breaker? No. They still continued chewing grass, calmly as ever. If they’d been French cows, they’d have gone on strike!
Also, the cows had obviously been moved out of the way of a new (?) parking lot. The village’s tourism looked more commercialised now, and Switzerland in general was way more expensive than I had remembered. The trains were more crowded, too, leading us to quickly deboard one just before it left Zurich for the Alps, my heart pounding as I counted the members of my family on the platform outside, Home Alone still fresh in my mind as we’d watched it last Christmas. I did, however, end up forgetting my cardigan on the train, but better cardigan than kid!
At one point, we ended up paying 7 euros for a half-liter water (there always comes a point on any trip when you’re just too thirsty to care) and generally just lost money with every glance, step, and breath we ventured. Glad it was only a weekend trip!I think there were chickens last time, too, though probably not the same ones. Come to think of it, I have no idea how long an average chicken lives. Maybe the chickens remembered us and are at present drafting a post about how much we’d changed!
It really was a glorious spring day in Gruyères. The sun so gentle, so yellow, its setting a symphony for the soul. Cheesy, yes – but this was Gruyères, after all.
Photo credit: The chicken photo was taken by my son. I don’t think I’d have been able to coax such a fabulous pose out of her.

EuroTripping – Brunnihütte to Engelberg Hike
On our European Pretzel this past summer, we finally made it to the edge of Switzerland where we stayed just outside Basel for 5 nights. On our first full day, we got up early and drove into the small village of Engelberg at the foot of Mt Titlis, where we took a cable car and then a chairlift up to Brunnihütte. At 1860 meters above sea level it had some nice views of the surrounding mountains, including Titlis, and they stayed with us as we hiked back down to Engelberg.
We thought we might escape the 38C temps in Basel that day, but Engelberg was climbing fast towards a hight of 34C so our trekking wasn’t as breezy as we had hoped. Still, the views were lovely to the eye — but with that bright summer sun, taking shots was a bit of a challenge. Here are a few snaps of the views (and ubiquitous Swiss cows) seen as we made our way down the mountain above Engelberg, Switzerland.
Leaving Engelberg on our cable car Looking up That’s us in there! A view in one direction from Brunnihütte A chairlift overhead as we start to make our way down Cows with a view Fencing and structures presumably to help avert avalanches Some nice geology across the valley The sunny path ahead You can see the viewing platform over on Mt Titlis (a much more expensive ride up to that peak led us to choose to look at Titlis instead of looking from Titlis) More avalanche guards — reminding me a bit of Czech hedgehogs More cows ahead A cute youngling Up close and personal Final descent down to Engelberg #alps #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Brunnihütte #Cows #Engelberg #Hiking #Mountains #Photoblog #Photography #Ristis #SwissAlps #Switzerland #Travel -
