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.

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/

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.

I went on a little adventure with my friends. We went to the Rheinschlucht (aka the swiss grand canyon). I brought my drone and took it for a flight. Everything went good. Later we went to another place too shoot the rheinschlucht from a new perspective. I flown my drone again. Unfortunately I crashed this time - on the other side of the river - My friend did exactly the same 5 minutes later. Wasn’t a good drone day.

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!

When we arrived to Braunwald, it was very foggy. Houses and trees were barely visible along the hiking trail. After an hour of walking up the hill we were rewarded with some breathtaking views, as the mountain started to emerge.

I was on a week long trip through the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. We had a lot of plans and not much time to explore the region. But on this specific evening we took our time to do a mini hike up to the lake (Schwellisee). We were rewarded with a beautiful view over the mountainscapes of Arosa.

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.

There are many beautiful hikes in Switzerland. But the 5-lake hike in Pizol is just amazing. It is very popular. On weekends there are thousands of people hiking this trail. Not only because it is very accessible. It is also just breathtaking. You can do the hike within 4.5 - 5 hours if you’re in shape. And you can take a swim in some of the lakes, if you dare.

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.

Picture of the Grosser Mythen mountain is Switzerland done during a snowshoe walk around the mountain. The mountain is basically a huge stone, almost no trees, and a nice contrast with the white snow.

No, I’m not a lazy photographer. But at this certain situation yes. And you would not notice it. It took me in total about 1 minute to shoot. Setting up gear, traveling to the location, etc. Why? Because it was made directly out of my bedroom. I used a 200mm lense without tripod. The shoot is one of my quickest shoot ever.

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.
