So far, weather in Switzerland in 2021 is very simple: rain, grab for a ray of sun, rain, storm, rain, repeat. I had hoped that in July we would encounter some sun. No such luck. You’ll see in the pictures.
Lauterbrunnen, the iconic waterfall, which has been photographed at least a thousand times
There are 72 waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen valley. These are the Trümmelbachfälle.
First evening in Grindwelwald and single ray of sun for the next 36h. Better not miss it.Someone picked up my camera, not sure who took whatSo quite. No dogs, No cars. No people shouting.The view from the hotel. I could have spent hours just watching the mountains.
Second day
Grindelwald first and the Tissot cliff walk. Sun is optional.View from the topI decided to walk up to Bachsee. The fog was kind enough to lift so I wouldn’t miss the incredible scenery.The penguin just leftLake with a viewIt was raining all day, actuallyA pound somewhereThe cliff walk from another view
Rainy days and covid restrictions have their advantages; the mountains were emptied form tourists! We had the cliff walk all by ourselves. As well as the cable cars. No Asian tourists with selfie sticks all over the place, no ninja storming around like they own the place, no one.
Day three
Morning view, snow on the summits. Shall I mention it’s July?View from The Eiger ExpressA cabin for ourselves. No waiting time.Jungfraujoch. Now don’t ask me the mountains’ names.We walked to the MönchsjochhütteSphynxEigerAletsch GlacierAbove the clouds
After that it was back to a so call normal life among noisy people and traffic jam. And rain.
