Vesuv without lava

Posted on März 31st, 2015

The bernese alps seen from the Vesuv.
Well, don’t ask me why they called this small hill Vesuv. But you can check this point on the official swiss map: http://s.geo.admin.ch/639c156b2d . And indeed they called it Vesuv.
Anyway on this day I set my alarm clock to 4:30 in the morning to see the sunrise at this spot. It was the only short break on a cloudy weekend. And I used it to enjoy the sunrise on the mountains. This spot is maybe more spectacular for a sunset and if it is, then I will show you an image in the near future.

Alpine glow

Posted on März 3rd, 2015

The sun sets, the moon rises and the mountains glows, in the winter wonderland.
After a three hour hike with Bubu the dog, we reached our starting point right on the time to see the alpine glow. It was an amazing walk through the deep snow, lonely with my dog.
Here in this valley is no winter sport available. You can only hike with snow shoes or touring skies, but there are no ski lifts. And therefore you can enjoy a very silent nature were you hear only your footsteps in the snow and some barks from the impatient dog, who has to wait for his slow human. And you know what’s the best? Bubu was not running away from the trail, because the snow was too deep for him
