Switzerland is enduring a heatwave at the moment, so if we want a walk it needs to be early in the day and as high as possible. We head for Männlichen. At 7290 feet above sea level it will hopefully be a little less hot.

There’s a nice walk from here which goes around the mountains to Kleine Scheidegg. Today, it opened for the first time this season. There’s still a lot of snow in places. Here we are at Gummi.

And this is the ski run called Barhag.

It’ll be another few weeks until it all melts, but in the meantime the snow provides a welcome opportunity to cool off a little. We were home in time for lunch.
