Grosser Mythen. Very steep
mountain in Central Switzerland. If you enlarge the picture, you can
actually see the path criss-crossing up the south flank. |

Hiking in the Bernese Oberland.
This hike goes from Grindelwald First via the Faulhorn to Schynige Platte.
Undoubtedly one of the most scenic hikes worldwide. To the left you always
see the 16,000 feet mountains Finsterahorn as well as the triple-peak
formation Mount Jungfrau, Moench and Eiger. To the right you see the
Brienzer Rothorn as well as Lakes Thun and Brienz. This picture shows the
Bachalpsee. |

In the background: The Eiger North face
with Mounts Moench and Jungfrau. This triple-peak together with the giant
Aletsch glacier on the south side are about the be declared a world
heritage area. |
