L'alpeggio di Prarayer, fotografato qui nel pieno della fioritura dell'inizio dell'estate, si trova nell'alta Valpelline oltre il Lago artificiale di Place Moulin, dove finisce la strada carrozzabile e si prosegue a piedi. In fondo al prato si intravedono le case dell'alpeggio che ospitano un confortevole rifugio, con possibilità di pernottamento e di ristoro, e un po' discosta sulla destra la mole del vecchio albergo, ormai chiuso da oltre cinquant'anni. Contro il cielo, in alto, si scorgono le vette della Dent d'Hérens e delle Grandes e Petites Murailles.

Cant't wait to get on my ski boots and getting up there again!

Lungo il sentiero che da Zinal conduce al Petit Mountet si incontra questa bella cascata (Val d'Anniviers, Vallese, Svizzera)
Bargis valley, enclosed by Piz da Sterls/Tristelhorn (3114m), Glaserhorn (3128m) and Piz Barghis/Ringelspitz (3247m) on the left side, and the Fild de Cassons (2695m) on the right side.
What you can see in the picture is actually only the top third of the valley, the rest is hidden by the Fild de Cassons. To hike up the Bargis valley is amongst the most beautiful things you can do while in Flims…
The mighty Eiger (3970m), a mountain in Switzerland, famous for its northern face which was one of the last unclimbed faces in the Alpes. Looks really impressive as it towers above Grindelwald.

The South face of Mönch (4107m), seen from the Jungfraufirn (Jungfrau Glacier).
The reddish colouration of the ice was probably caused by sand and dust blown in from the Sahara desert. There are also cryophilic algae (Chlamydomonas nivalis) that can tinge glaciers with a reddish hue. So, who said that glaciers had to be white and blue anyway?
The dark clouds in the background not only threatened rain, they actually delivered soon after I took this shot. For about an hour, it was a very wet hike on the glacier…
Lake Misurina (1,754 m above sea level), located in the Dolomites, Italy. In the background: The famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks, Drei Zinnen).

This is the access to the start of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing which mostly have travelled usually just after midnight to get the usual early starts for sunrise somewhere upon the track. Can't remember travelling this in daylight before.
So its a classic travel shot leading the eye up to Ngauruhoe and Tongariro with their tops covered in cloud as is often the case.
The region of Davos, Klosters and Parsenn (located in the Canton of Graubünden/Grisons, Switzerland) is very popular for hiking. However, even more people like the area for skiing in the winter season.

Hiking from Strela-Pass up to Weissfluhjoch (2,693 m).
The well developed trail is an invitation for mountain bikers to enjoy a fast downhill ride. This is somewhat stressy and annoying for the hikers on the trail, particularly in the high season.

One of my favorite and less traveled parts of the park. Stunning alpine viewpoints here. Too lazy to get my DSLR out of pack so this was shot with an iPhone.

From afar, the Southern Alps stretch like a majestic spine across the horizon—snow-dusted, rugged, and awe-inspiring. Their distant silhouette rises above the rolling hills and open plains, forming a powerful contrast between serenity and grandeur. A landscape where the scale of nature quietly humbles you, and every view feels like a living postcard from New Zealand’s South Island.
