Arriving to Schynige Platte from First with the a summer storm. Canton Bern, Switzerland. No. 528.
"The Schynige Platte (Scheinige Platte on the old Siegfried Map)[1] is a small mountain ridge and a viewpoint in the Bernese Highlands and belongs to the Schwarzhorn group. The mountain range consists of three peaks: Gumihorn (2,099 m (6,886 ft)), Tuba (2,076 m (6,811 ft)), and the closest summit next to the viewpoint, Geiss (2,067 metres (6,781 ft)). The viewpoint lies at an altitude of about 2,000 metres (7,000 ft), at the western end of a prominent ridge of the Schwarzhorn group, which separates the valley of the Schwarze Lütschine from Lake Brienz.
It is notable for its hotel and, since 1893, its mountain railway, one of the highest in Switzerland. In good weather conditions there are views to many surrounding mountains, including the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, and others giants of the Bernese Alps. Also, the town of Interlaken and the two great lakes of Thun and Brienz are visible to the north, 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) lower.
The area is accessible via the Schynige Platte railway, which runs from Wilderswil, where connection is made with Bernese Oberland railway trains from Interlaken. The railway reaches a height of 1,967 metres (6,453 ft) at the terminus station, on the south-facing slopes of Geiss[citation needed] summit. Southwest of the station is a hotel and mountain restaurant, at a height of 1,983 metres (6,506 ft). Northeast of the station is the Schynige Platte alpine botanical garden, specialising in the display of, and research into, the high altitude flora of Switzerland.
A number of short loop trails extend north from the train station, reaching several view points, all within one kilometre from each other. Directly above the station and hotel, and overlooking the valleys of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald, is the Geiss summit (2,067 metres (6,781 ft))[citation needed]. Further north, and overlooking Interlaken and the two great lakes, are the Tuba (2,076 metres (6,811 ft)) and Oberberghorn (2,069 metres (6,788 ft)) summits. The highest summit in the Schynige Platte area, between the Daube and Geiss summits, the tower-like Gumihorn peak (2,099 metres (6,886 ft)), cannot be reached by pedestrians. The Schynige Platte is also the starting point for the popular hiking trails to Loucherhorn, Faulhorn or First which is connected to Grindelwald by a gondola lift."

Looking at the Fromberghore from the Niesen Kulm.
Mount Niesen is a mountain in central Switzerland, Kanton Bern. In September the light in the high mountains is just so beautiful. The clouds play with the summits in such a stunning way.
Mount Niesen is located between two valleys Nierdersimmental and Kandertal.
Contemplative moments at the end of the day on the shore of Lake Thun with a view on the Niesen. This beautiful atmosphere filled my heart with joy and gratitude.
I wish all my dear Flickr friends a relaxing and wonderful Sunday!

Switzerland, the Simmental , taken on the way to Niesen summit from Wimmis. All'alba vincerò!( Canton of Bern ). No. 8776.
La folla :
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Calaf :
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza
guardi le stelle
che tremano d'amore e di speranza...
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò,
quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
che ti fa mia.
Le donne :
Il nome suo nessun saprà...
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!
Calaf :
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!
La foule :
Que personne ne dorme ! Que personne ne dorme !
Calaf :
Que personne ne dorme ! Que personne ne dorme !
Toi aussi, Ô Princesse,
Dans ta froide chambre
Tu regardes les étoiles
Qui tremblent d'amour et d'espérance...
Mais mon mystère est scellé en moi,
Personne ne saura mon nom !
Non, non, sur ta bouche, je le dirai,
quand la lumière resplendira !
Et mon baiser brisera le silence
Qui te fait mienne.
Chœur :
Personne ne saura son nom...
Et nous devrons, hélas, mourir, mourir !
Calaf :
Dissipe-toi, Ô nuit ! Dispersez-vous, étoiles !
Dispersez-vous, étoiles ! À l'aube je vaincrai !
Je vaincrai ! Je vaincrai !

The Niederhorn, the Niesen summit & the lake of Thune. Vue du lac de Thoune depuis le Niederhorn No, 9563.
The Niederhorn (elevation 1963 metres) is a peak of the Emmental Alps in the Bernese Oberland near Beatenberg. It is the peak farthest west in the Güggis ridge. From its summit you can see Lake Thun and the entire Bernese Alps.
An aerial cable car to the summit was completed in 1946 with a restaurant and children's playground at the top. Today the summit can be reached by the Seilbahnen Beatenberg-Niederhorn, a more modern gondola lift that runs from the village of Beatenberg, where it connects with the Thunersee–Beatenberg Bahn, a funicular with connections to the shipping services on Lake Thun.
Das Niederhorn ist ein 1963 Meter hoher Gipfel im Berner Oberland der Emmentaler Alpen und gilt als der Hausberg von Beatenberg in der Schweiz. Er liegt oberhalb des Thunersees und ist von Westen gesehen der erste Gipfel des Güggisgrates. Der Grat steigt östlich des Niederhorns auf 2063 Meter beim Burgfeldstand und nochmals auf 2061 Meter beim Gemmenalphorn, wobei sich dazwischen noch einige namenlose Erhebungen befinden. Am östlichen Fuss auf noch etwa 1700 Metern liegt das Naturschutzgebiet Seefeld mit dem Karstgebiet der Sieben Hengste, deren höchster Gipfel wieder 1952 Meter erreicht.
Le Niederhorn est un sommet des Alpes situé en Suisse dans le massif des Alpes bernoises. De son sommet, on peut voir l'ensemble des Alpes bernoises et le lac de Thoune.
En 1946 fut construit un téléphérique pour relier le sommet où sont bâtis un terrain de jeu pour enfants et un restaurant. Depuis 1997, une télécabine Seilbahnen Beatenberg-Niederhorn, s'arrêtant également à Vorsass a remplacé ce téléphérique et permet la jonction entre le Niederhorn et le funiculaire Thunersee-Beatenberg Bahn (TBB) qui va jusqu'à Beatenbucht sur le lac de Thoune.
This image was taken in walking up from Wimmis(629m) to Niesen summit (2369m)November 3 ,2007 .
In your next vacations around I recommend you to visit this mountain on the way to Interlaken, You can walk up from Wimmis or from Frutingen. (not for everybody , you need to be in good shape.-) )The easiest way is to take a train from Mülenen.On a beatiful day you can see far away.: The Jura mountains in the north, the Alps in the east and south.
Thank you my friends for your inspiration !
