Hiking in Haslital, Switzerland on a sunny afternoon. Because it was too bright and the mountains in the back were almost washed out I decided to change the pictures to black and white and punch the foreground.

Standing atop the Rhône Glacier over 3,600 meters (12,000 ft) up in the Swiss Alps. - The Rhône Glacier is one of the primary contributors to Lake Geneva and is the largest glacier in the Urner Alps. - It has retreated at a rate of 1300 meters during the last 120 years. At this rate, it will soon be gone for good.

Me and my girlfriend woke up at 3.00 am to watch the sunrise on a mountain called Fürstein. We made it to the top just in time and we had a great 360° view of the bernese alpes.

The Belvedere Hotel was built in 1882 and was a popular attraction for the adventure-minded for many decades. I’ve been obsessed with this spot since I first saw a photo and had to make the drive up! it was well worth it.

Had the opportunity to fly the drone around and snap some shots from above in Switzerland. I really love the scale the mountain towns can offer as they are surrounded by amazing peaks and ranges. The houses look so minuscule in comparison to the grand mountains.

After an hour of hiking past the Grimselpass/Totensee, we set up our cameras at 2500m. Although we had arrived to that spot to see the blood moon rise right above the mountains, clouds on the horizon delayed when we got our first glimpse of red light. Still, the clouds that were there allowed for a colorful sunset. The dramatic lighting of the sun lasted for mere seconds. It is a reminder that sometimes, beautiful things only last for a short while so we should try our best to enjoy them while they last. Enjoy!

We were wandering around Grindelwald aimlessly while we ran into this church. After looking around, I decided to pull the drone out and grab a few shots. The epicness of the Eigar, Jungfrau and Monch surrounding this church and town was amazing. I had never felt this much of a grand presence and feel blessed to have been able to experience this.

I was just strolling on the streets while on a holiday in Lucerne, Switzerland when the sun was setting and the colours were just perfect.

Even though we were surrounded by snow, it felt warm. The sun reflected and bounced off the snow to cover us in warmth. At this elevation in Switzerland, you feel almost in the clouds, it’s surreal. And yet, it’s a simple train ride to the top, no climbing gear needed.

Ever gone to Switzerland? It’s a great place to just wander off somewhere and to get completely lost in the mountains. That is what we did here. This way you can sit and marvel at the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in total solitude.

After snapping some photos from the window room, I lied on the bed to rest my legs for a while. After 20 minutes, I saw the last rays of light coloring the top of the Jungfrau and could not help myself snapping more pictures while sitting on the bed.

Lauterbrunnen is situated in one of the most impressive trough valleys in the Alps, between gigantic rock faces and mountain peaks. With its 72 thundering waterfalls, secluded valleys, colourful alpine meadows and lonely mountain inns, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the biggest nature conservation areas in Switzerland. J.R.R.Tolkinen hiked from Interlaken to the Lauterbrunnen Valley in 1911. The landscape later provided the concept and pictorial model for his sketches of the fictitious valley of Rivendell.

Life is full of adventures. This image was created during one of my own adventures on the top of Fronalpstock in Switzerland. During the day thousands and thousands of tourists where passing by this spot. But the last chairlift was running at 5:30pm. Suddently the place became very quiet and calm. The fog started to clear up and reveal the two peaks. This image represents one of the most beautiful sunsets I ever saw.

Imagine you are above the fog. Seeing the sun set. Then you turn around and see this. A mountain summit peaking out of the fog and catching fire. Goosebumps all over your body. And a refreshing feeling of joy and thankfulness filling up your body. This is Switzerland. This I can call my home. I really appreciate that a lot lately.

After a 3.5 hour hike we reached our goal for the day. Capanna Cadlino. A hut managed by the SAC (Schweizer Alpen Club / Swiss Alpine Club). Opening Times are from mid of June until mid of October. The hut is located at 2570m above sea level. It has around 80 beds and you can stay there for free, if you make it over the slack line without falling into the water (which is below the slack line) =) More information: http://www.cadlimohuette.ch/cadlimo-huette/

If you are on a hike over noon. Normally the light isn’t really good. But if you have beautiful clouds hanging in the sky, they will cast some nice shadows on the ground. This one is taken at Lago Ritom in Ticino. A beautiful Hike up to the Capanna Cadlimo.
