Another bright and cold morning. We head up to Mannlichen. Usual stunning views at the top.

And snow alongside the path.

We were the only people on the path to Alpiglen, but we heard voices close by. Never thought to look up! These guys passed a few feet above us.

As we begin to lose height the flora becomes more diverse. Edelweiss like the sunny spots amongst the heather. 

Beautiful day for a walk. Here we are above the Gummi slopes. 

Eventually we arrive at Arven just below Scheidegg. This is the hub of the ski area in winter. Looking up to Scheidegg. 

Ski lifts are a blot on the landscape for most of the year. 

We fill our bottles from a trough and continue downhill. The rough terrain gives way to pastures. 

The Eiger dominates the lower parts of the walk. We could feel the cold air falling from the face.
