Winter is coming in Switzerland, so is the second COVID-19 wave :-(. Time to look back and to share a beautiful hike at the Lake Sils (Silsersee) in Switzerland I enjoyed back this summer.

Arnisee and Sunniggrat
Image
There are so many mountains and lakes in Switzerland, probably impossible to visit them all. Something on my ‘bucket list’ for a long time was to get up to the Arnisee, and I finally did it.

First Smell of Winter in September
Image
A cold front reached the Alps on the weekend, covering the high peaks with snow.
First Snow in the Dolomites
Most snow is now gone with the sky clearing up, but still making a good contrast to the green down below. Things will definitely change in a few weeks…
Happy Covering 🙂
Göscheneralp and Bergseehütte
The ‘Göscheneralp’ is a beautiful valley in the central part of Switzerland with an embankment dam building an artificial lake. The valley hosts several beautiful hikes and climbing routes. The area is the home of several SAC (Swiss Alpine Club) huts, including the Bergseehütte which is the topic of this hike.

Hiking around the Fallenflue
With a heat wave rolling over Europe, a hike these days needs some careful planning. With outside temperatures in the 36-39°C range, I prefer something inside a forest. And for this, the hike around the Fallenflue was perfect.

3-Lakes around the Brunschkopf at Seefeld/Tirol
Seefeld in Tirol/Austria is a beautiful hiking region, northwest of Innsbruck. Nearby there is a beautiful hike around the Brunschkopf (1510m) with views to three lakes. But most of them may appear only now and then.

Mystery Death of a Snail
Image
It can be the small things which can make me wonder. While hiking up a trail up to a mountain, a snail in the middle of a tree trunk had my attention. A beautiful coiled shell!

The Yellow Collection
Image
Now I can tell the truth: the hidden goal of this color posts is to check if I’m color blind or not (and you can check the same :-). After the lilac collection, here is the last one: this time the color is yellow, and includes a small trap.
Collection of Lilac Flowers

After the ‘blue‘ series, here is yet another hicking flower color collection: Lilac!
Composition of Green with Algae
Image
Impression from one of my recent mountain hiking tours: Mountain spring water flowing slowly through grass meadows, building a symbiosis with green algae. Maybe a camera cannot reflect the number of green colors the human eye is able to see?

Happy Greening 🙂
