The south wind is flowing over the Matterhorn bringing the bad weather. For those at the summit it is now too late to escape.

This rather short cliff walk is located at First Summit (2,168 m) right above Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. It is very stable and not dangerous at all.
First and the cliff walk can best be reached by cable car from Grindelwald. The gondola ride takes 25 minutes and offers spectacular views.

Pointe de Paray is a mountain in the Swiss Alps. It is located on the border between the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud near the Gruyère region. Altitude: 2,375 metres.
On the far left outside you see the Schreckhorn, exactly in the middle the Eiger with the famous Eiger north face. To the right of it the Mönch and to the right the Jungfrau. There the famous mountain railroad leads up and it is called "Top of Europe".
This picture was taken on a cold January morning from my bedroom window! Yes we have a great view and every day I enjoy this view of the Alps, weather and visibility permitting. Beautiful. The Alps are about 80 kilometers away as the crow flies. But with a clear view, every detail is visible with a telephoto lens.
Thanks to the Flickr team for including this in Explore and thanks to everyone for the likes and comments. This encourages me to keep taking good photos! Have a nice day.

It's such an AWE scenic drive on the Bernina Pass in Switzerland. Too bad, the tour bus can't stop at any point. The only oppo. for photography was to shoot against the window. The scenery was BREATHTAKING all the way.
"The Bernina Pass (el. 2,328 m or 7,638 ft.) (Italian: Passo del Bernina) is a high mountain pass in the Bernina Range of the Alps, in the canton of Graubünden (Grisons) in eastern Switzerland. It connects the famous resort town of St. Moritz in the Engadin valley with the Italian-speaking Val Poschiavo, which ends in the Italian town of Tirano in Valtellina."
Please refer to another shot below in the comment. Btw, this pass is on the UNESCO heritage site.
,,Still, ganz im Frieden ruht der Heidehügel.
Stechginsterblüten, nass vom Tau,
Altweibersommerfäden voller
Perlen-
Ein Glitzern, Funkeln grün und gold.

Hike from Diavolezza mountain station at height 3000 m offers an impressive close-up view of the Morteratsch glacier.
The legend of the beautiful she-devil gave the name to Diavolezza mountain: according to legend, many years ago, a fairy-queen lived in thouse mountains, who lured travelers, and they disappeared forever.
