  • St. Moritz day 3

    July 10, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    St. Moritz is an expensive sky resort area. Each day I took a different cable car to the peak of a different mountain and there where a few other cable cars I did not have time to ride.
    1. Shows a glacier
    2. They put a fabric over the snow at the end of the sky season to keep it from melting and washing away the ground under the snow.
    3. If you look closely, you can see the cable car.
    6. In the last picture, if you can't ride the snow, at least you can ride the snow melt.

  • Zurich

    July 13, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Not much to do in Zurich for a tourist unless you want to go to a Taylor Swift concert. It was funny seeing all the Taylor Swift fans packing up and leaving town. Last two pictures are of a botanical garden full of desert plants.Read more

  • Wengen

    July 13, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Wengen is way more impressive then Zurich.
    First picture is the view from my hotel room. I think I really lucked out on this room. The last two pictures show how steep the train trackers are and the train uses a gear between the two rails to move up and down the mountain.
    I stayed in at Hotel Regina Wengen room 403.

  • Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory

    July 14, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    The Swiss built this train with a tunnel thru the mountain for the last 10 mins of the ride to what is basically a small mall on the top of a mountain. It had a chocolate store, two watch stores, a gift shop and three restaurants, or yea and a really small observatory.Read more

  • Gornergrat Railway

    July 17, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    This is a railway that goes to the top of a mountain with a hotel. It also has a view of Montezuma’s Revenge which the map strangely has it listed as the Matterhorn.

  • Tasch

    July 18, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    I stayed in the city of Tasch and went on a hike one day while I was there. The last picture is some guy taking his goats for a walk.

  • Geneva

    July 20, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Geneva is a nice expensive city but there is not a lot for tourist to see or do here. They don't even has a Taylor Swift concert.
    It was surprising to learn that most people in Geneva speak French where the rest of Switzerland they speak German.Read more
