High up in the Alps

So ends our time in Switzerland. I have been reading the beloved book, Heidi, written in 1879 and could just imagine we were on the same mountain with the beauty of wildflowers, the laughter of frisky goats and the magnificent mountain peaks shining down on us. Okay, okay-- but it is majestic and hard to put into words!


We spent 6 days in the Bernese Oberland Alps among the mighty Eiger-Monch-Jungfrau peaks. First in Wengen, a small resort town frequented mostly by Swiss families.  Second was in Gimmelwald, a tiny village on a very steep, green, flower-covered slope. This is one of the last villages in Switzerland without cars and the only access is by a cablecar.  



I think my pictures will describe so much better than words and bring Heidi to life!  Please click on the link for photos (you can also click on each picture-some are videos).

We are now sitting on a fast moving train headed to northern Italy for a week.
