Aug 16: Grindelwald (part 6)

5th: Rainy day walk to see Grindelwald's "Land Art Festival"





6th: Bus to Grosse Scheidegg to follow the Marmot Trail to First



We heard, then saw, this avalanche

When the clouds failed to clear, I turned my attention to the flowers.



...and the wildlife





Our second visit to First, so we had another go on the Cliff Walk, even though the clouds spoiled the view.



We stopped at the intermediate cable car station for some fun on the playground


7th: Last day, views from the chalet

and the plane

Wishing I'd brought my polarising filter.

Playing at being in the movies

Another cliff walkway - this one had some exciting sections!





Murren
I must confess this was a bit of a cheat: these edelweiss were outside a restaurant!
