day 966_february 26, 2011

This morning we took the cogwheel train up to Jungfraujoch.  Billed as the “Top of Europe.”  Not bad, at 3571 meters (11,760 feet).  The top two photos taken of Jungfrau, which is 4148 meters, are from the Sphinx observation terrace and weather station.

The village of Wengen, at 1274 meters, is car-less.  Only way in is by cogwheel train so pack lightly.  We stayed one night which was just about right, although there is so much skiing to do.  Again, it was warm and even though I don’t have a frame of reference I thought there would have […]

The Kugelbahn at the Verkehrshaus, Luzern.  The ball travels through all things Swiss.  The only thing missing in this story is the depiction of the frozen bank accounts of certain (former) leaders that won’t be mentioned.

Laax base station for the weekend.  This was our first time back on skies in at least fifteen years.  Probably longer but I don’t want to admit it.  It was so warm and I was surprised at how little snow there was.  This is Switzerland and there are supposed to be heaps and heaps of […]

day 943_february 03, 2011

Alpwirtschaft Unterlauelen, 1063 meters.  Out for a stroll behind Mt. Pilatus.  This is the area to be in for cross-country skiing and more specifically the place to go when hungry.

Verkehrshaus, Luzern.  The ultimate transportation museum!  This takes me back to my former model railroading days.  They are long gone by now but I am pretty sure my homemade mountains looked like these! (joking, they didn’t)
