  1. There are other options from #Grindelwald that could've been more rewarding, such as:

    #Pfingstegg - which offers a toboggan run and a (low speed) fly-line

    #Männlichen - supposedly one of the best viewpoints for the #BerneseAlps range, plus a chance to take an open-roof cable car ride to #Wengen

    The cablecars to both abovementioned would've been covered by the #BernerOberland pass which we had. First was not covered, but my goal to zip down on the 84 kmph Flyer influenced my choice. YMMV.

    ✧ Episyrphus balteatus ✧

    Episyrphus balteatus, sometimes called the marmalade hoverfly, is a relatively small hoverfly (9 to 12 mm; 0.35 to 0.47 in), in the family Syrphidae. It is widespread throughout the Palearctic region, which covers Europe, North Asia and North Africa, and is considered to be the most abundant native hoverfly in Cent...

  3. Night run on the E35 route was cute, wet, new and with awesome company. We started in Burglauenen tiny bit before midnight, went through the rain up to Wengen, snaked through the village to find our way under the Männlichen gondola, said hi to the wooden cow there, traversed to Kleine Scheidegg, then tiny bit up to Eigergletscher, and wheee down through the waterfalls to Grindelwald.

  4. First hike of the year while on on-call duty. As long as I stay in cell phone coverage and I'm in reasonable distance of a lasting power supply, I'm free to roam. 🤗

    Went from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen, which is approx an 1.5 hour hike, which therefore was within the limits. Was much warmer than expected, so with the sweating, it turned out to be sort of a training.

  5. Jævlig bra at Luka Pinheiro begynte å kjøre for Brasil, da slipper vi problemet med at Norge dominerer resultatlisten i hvert eneste skirenn.

    I slalåm dere, ikke langrenn. For et sinnnsykt legendarisk landslag (som knapt er et lag) vi har.

    Atle Lie McGrath har en toppfart de andre strever veldig med å matche, men slalom handler ikke bare om toppfart.
    Stjernenykkene som mange av de andre er kjent for, ser ut til å mangle - derfor blir han ikke like lett sett av media.

  6. This British guy they had announcing the #Wengen DH today is just dreadful... makes no attempt to pronounce anything correctly and just narrates it like it was a literal horse race rather than providing the slightest insight.

  7. Belatedly watching yesterday’s men’s #skiing downhill from #Wengen. And having my annual (or sometimes twice annual) confusion hearing the #German word Haneggschuss as Scots #Gaelic “thainig <what’s a Shoos?>”! #Language #ScotsGaelic #Gaidhlig #Scotland #Switzerland

  8. Today is the start of the Lauberhornrennen (Ski Worldcup) in Wengen, Switzerland. This year it starts with a shorter version of the classic downhill race. Current leader and likely winner: Marco Odermatt 🇨🇭

    On Saturday the Swiss High Mass of Skiing will be held: downhill on the original slope. If you win that one as Swiss skier, you will be a legend for life.

    Epic surroundings with Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
