Three Passes - Grimsel, Furka & Susten
Today we decided an explore was in order. The recommendations from family and friends are very welcome. We returned with two hundred and eleven photos across three cameras which I have now reduced to forty six. Not a small job with editing to be done also. The advantage of the blog is at least I do it!

| Chapels are dotted across the landscape, Grafschaft, Valais, Switzerland |
 |
Obviously house design is strictly controlled as is urban sprawl
which does make for beautiful landscape. |

T bar ski tow beside the village in the snap below.
Tows are everywhere, this one would be a lovely family one |
 |
| Village beside the tow, Münster, Valais, Switzerland |

| Airfield at Obergoms. All the fields are mown, the grass removed for barn animals |

| Walked up a bit expecting a tarn.... |

 |
| Many of the hotels don't look like they are doing particularly well |

Mid summer and virtually no traffic today - wonderful
