Stechelberg
It was a beautiful drive to Switzerland’s Lauterbrunnen Valley.
Switzerland didn’t join the European Union so they use Swiss Francs instead of Euros. So our first stop was in Interlaken to get some Swiss Francs.
Reminds Us Of Yosemite Near Our Home In California
The Lauterbrunnen Valley had lots of spectacular waterfalls, sheer cliffs and snow-capped peaks. Reminds us of Yosemite near our home in Central California. The difference in Switzerland is that some of the waterfalls fall into someone’s backyard or behind a business. In Switzerland people actually live in the mountains…rather than just visit.
Frolicking Cows Say Moo! Horses Are Ambivalent
Lots of small farms with friendly people, horses, sheep and frolicking cows. We’d never seen cows frolic before, but Swiss cows are happy and playfully frolic in their pastures. Perhaps they frolic because they know how much they are loved. And the Swiss do love their cows!
It’s Snowing and We Don’t Care!
We walked through Mürren, down the trail to Grütschalp then took a gondola back down to Lauterbrunnen on the valley floor.
Snow Capped Peaks
It was cloudy when we were in the Lauterbrunnen Valley so each time the clouds parted we tried to get a glimpse of the high snow-capped peaks.
