Today we’re off to Grindelwald, where the World Snow Festival is taking place. Teams from all over the world are given a 3 metre cube of snow, from which they must produce a sculpture. The Germans are making a cow.

And here it is. The sculptures won’t be judged until the weekend, so they’re a work in progress at the moment.

The USA. Turtles.

Turkey.

Latvia.

And the Italians are making a coffee pot.

For the past 2 years the competition has been cancelled owing to a lack of snow, so it’s nice to see the sculptures back again. Grindelwald is also a good village for shopping, so we had a good look around the outdoor shops.

A nice day out. Val has started going to a yoga class on Wednesday afternoons, so we got back to Wengen after a nice lunch.
