It was a bit gloomy when we got up this morning, but it usually pays to be optimistic, so up we go. Val, Ali and the Lauberhorn.

This run is called Moos, and it goes to a place called Wixi. The Jungfrau overlooks us.

At the top of the Lauberhorn, with views of the Eiger and Mönch.

On the way back to Wengen is a place called Wengernalp. Contrary to popular belief, if you see ‘alp’ in a place name it doesn’t refer to the mountains. Alps, in this context are the flat pastures where cattle can graze. The Jungfrau again.

At the moment, restaurants are not allowed to offer seating for customers – everything must be takeaway. Needless to say, the restaurant owners are not happy about this, and some have come up with creative solutions. Here at Allmend everyone is given a toboggan to sit on. If anyone should ask, we’re all out tobogganing.

We had a delicious lunch on our toboggans, and headed home. What a super day.
