We went on a short hike above Reichenbach im Kiental, Switzerland. The lighting was very difficult for taking pictures (or the photographer was not good enough), so I had to zoom in a lot to get the (my) best pictures.
Since it won't take long anymore before the snow is fully gone, took the opportunity to take some close-ups from mountains.

Late entry for #MountainMonday: Aiguille Verte (4122 m) near Chamonix, France.
A mountain like a child draws one.
Picture made from Le Brévent (2525 m) with Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in the valley.

Bällehöchst (2095m) is a mountain in the Bernese Oberland with a fantastic panorama from Lake Brienz (on the left) to the 4000+ mountains (on the right).
Went there for a sunrise hike but was 5 minutes late 😅, but at least I was alone on the summit. The clouds in the Lütschental were performing a slow wave, sort of mesmerizing.

As I'm on-call duty this week, I had to stay closer to home. But this was not a downside as currently everywhere you look, it is just magnificent. 😍
We went on a small "hike" on the Spiezberg overlooking Lake Thun. The location of the first picture (the panorama) is also my favorite location in the village for sunrise views.
Although we knew better, we tried to walk to Usserberg (1592 m) in the Saxettal. After climbing from Saxeten (1102 m) roughly 200 meters we called it quits, as there was just too much snow. We walked back to Saxeten and chose the Saxetbach trail, which still had snow, but was much flatter so it was an easy walk. The fresh air was nice.
I came across this fine example of a non-standard Swiss fingerpost in June. It leads to a wooden footbridge overlooking the forest on the Gägger.
"The storm of the century", Lothar, almost completely destroyed the forest at the end of 1999. That part of the forest will now be left alone to develop entirely naturally (which can be followed from the footbridge).

Came across a picture in my archive of the interior of the Leirvassbu Turisthytte. Really a cosy hut. I like to think this picture shows a dancefloor. 🕺
