Two mountain chalets in the Bernese Alps, October 2008.
The Berner Alpen (Bernese Alps) are known for their spectacular views up to 4,274 metres (14,022 feet) above sea level: the summit of the Finsteraarhorn, which is the highest peak. There are even another nine mountains higher than 4,000 metres and the famous Jungfrau (4,158 m/13,642 feet ASL) is one of them.
The Jungfrau I saw from afar when I went up back in 2008, mainly to see the Swiss Air Force flying through the approaches to the Axalp firing range, but enjoying more of the mountains while hiking up and down. These series are a throwback to that time, but hopefully I will add new footage on a next hike in Switzerland.
