We had a pretty useful snowfall last night. Here’s Val outside the Alpine Hotel, probably wishing she was inside.
The weather forecast for the rest of the week is very nice, which is great for Val as she’s starting work again tomorrow.
Matt and Tom have come to Wengen for the weekend to visit Colin. Last night we enjoyed a curry at the Indian restaurant, before trying a few cocktails at the Tanne bar.
Today has been overcast, and now it’s snowing. Uptown Lights later.
It’s another nice day, so we went up early to enjoy the sunshine. Lauberhorn is the first part of the area to get the sun in the morning, so it was busy.
We made our way up to Eigergletscher for a lovely but decidedly unhealthy lunch of loaded fries. Later on, on the Eiger Express lift, we got an entire 24 seat gondola all to ourselves.
We made our way home, and treated ourselves to our first ice cream of the season.
We had a good night out at the Alpine Hotel yesterday evening. Here’s Colin and his mate Nev.
No skiing today, as Val has her German class and I need to do some shopping. We were treated to another concert as we passed the Hotel Victoria Lauberhorn this afternoon.
All the weather forecasts said it was going to snow today. It turned out we had almost unbroken sunshine.
The weather is due to change for the worse today, so we had an early start. Very nice skiing around Scheidegg before the masses arrived from the valley.
We paused for coffee before heading back to the village as the weather rolled in. At sunset the clouds gave us quite a display.
Colin is playing at the Alpine Hotel this evening, and tonight he’ll be joined by his mate Neville on the violin.
It’s a lovely day – cold, and not a cloud in the sky. We’re off up to Scheidegg. At the top of the Lauberhorn.
Have you ever met anyone from Uraguay? No, me neither, until today anyway, when I met Macca who is working at the Eigernordwand restaurant, and Nico, who is working for Val’s ski school.
It was a good fun day up the hill, with lovely snow. It seemed like every five minutes we bumped into someone we knew. Top stuff.
A good evening out with Beves and Ibe at the Alpine Hotel last night.
It was a bit murky when we got to Scheidegg this morning, which was an excellent excuse for starting with a coffee. Things did improve though, and in the end we had an enjoyable ski. After a very busy weekend, it was much quieter today.
Not much more to report – Val’s at physio this afternoon, and her usual Monday evening Pilates class has been cancelled, which means I have enough time to peel some potatoes for chips.
