The story behind the image
In 2004 we visited friends in Switzerland who took us the top of the Schilthorn mountain, located south-east of the Swiss capital Bern.
So we took the train to Mürren, a car-free village in the mountains, and then changed to the cableway that brought us to the top.
My photo shows the view across the Alps from the Schilthorn viewing platform. I really like the hiker in the lower right corner who gazes at the panorama, impressed by the seemingly endless beauty of the place.
There is also a turning restaurant called Piz Gloria that performs a full rotation in 55 Minutes and offers spectacular views of the mountains. Read more about the restaurant and mountain at the excellent Schilthorn Piz Gloria Homepage.
Awesome.
