I look now and photographs can not understand it, well, nothing so much like Zermatt. City Hotel? In the city of three base stations lifts: one (near the station and information bureau) to the Gornergrat (3089), on the other (almost at the end of the city) to Schwarzsee paradise (2583, summer, 7.00-18.00) and Klein Matternhorn (3883). And in the underground “Metro” and then through the nacelle can be reached at Rothorn paradise (3103). The base station is near (m 500) across the river Vispa from the railway station. We chose the latter variants – to Rothorn paradise (41 francs in the same direction, in the summer 08.00-18.00). Having in an effort, we were standing right next to the first train to our goal. Next few tourists and immigrants from Southeast Asia, while also not much. To start chosen route 5-seenweg, and further, where the curve displays a mountain trail. I must say that kind of morning Gornergrat impressed: a little cold, clear sky …

I must say that from Lautenbrunnen to Zermatt is not long to go (although the word “long” does not apply to this country, if we take into account the mileage, “long” can only be for the reason that you often ostnavlivaesh, grab a camera and somewhere you ride to photograph), so that a once entertained, we decided to pass on the surrounding roads, to find some wild lake and there for breakfast. There is an immutable given, the same for everyone everywhere – no one is free to know in advance what will happen, that someone is destined to, but otherwise what fate be fate … Here and now also turned out. Yes. And this time, the same thing: Who could predict that the strongest impression of this day was a trip by train, carrying a car from Kandersteg to Goppenstein.

It looks daunting, but really fun and easy. All similar to the ferries. There is nothing easier than to go on the signs: Interlaken-Spiez-Kandersteg – pointer to the platform with cars. Front of the station is shed, there are paying the ticket (car 20 francs), and then calmly calls in on the train platform and all. The entire journey by train takes about 30 minutes, most of the runs in the tunnel.
The night before the “council at Fili” were considered two options: Oeschinensee (near Kandersteg) and Lac de Moiry (near Zinal). For several reasons outweighed the latter. I must say that with pointers in Switzerland really the problem, especially for those scientists who still do not bother to buy a navigator, and continue to calculate the distance and time on the map, who like to stick to local residents (which, however, we must first find) with questions «How can we get to this place?» and poke your finger into the map, then to hear the answer «I don` t speak English! »and hear an explanation on any other language that you do not necessarily understand, nodding earnestly and with at the first opportunity to turn the wrong way.
To reach the Lac de Moiry and Zinal from Chippis must turn to Val d’Anniviers. The euphoria surrounding solitude and beauty inspires, the morning cool gradually replaced the midday heat, which is not felt at an altitude of 2750.

Unpredictable whim of fate – it was so, so it will be no single explanation. And as often happens, is what you strive for, is only a mirage … The first caution came when we saw it

Our phantom finally melted away, as soon as we left the tunnel.

Apparently all the lakes in the country for its stunning Swiss blocked by dams. After the fact not once regretted that he did not stopped at Zinal … But to say a smart man ….
Now that we are talking about fate, then, hungry and frustrated, decided not to give her a chance to mock, went to Zermatt.
By the way, there is a road, railway track repeats, on her bike to get to the city itself. Upon arrival at the station can take a map of the city, stands on the electronic enter the name of your hotel and you will pave the way to the station. But the pernicious combination of illness and starvation metabolism in the brain stopped, and with it the ability to think sensibly, so the decision to take a taxi for 22 francs from the station to the hotel we were surprised the next day, when 10 minutes came to the unhurried pace of the station itself .

The view from the balcony of the hotel and its location in close proximity to the lift gave a bit of optimism, which was soon murdered by a loud loud cries to the great and mighty, “tries .. we need this mountain, it would be better to shop the past … like this .. x NJ Mont Blanc is …?? ”

And eat a human being, we have not succeeded …. It was a day of making wrong decisions: discouraged by the Brownian motion on the main street of Zermatt, cave girl decided to dine at his hotel, but at 21.00 on the kitchen already worked, and descend again to the main street there was no desire, so whiled away the evening with beer, it bridou raspberry jam, which was planned for the failed romantic breakfast and by happy coincidence is not rotten in the heat.

No, not like in this day in Zermatt. Deliberate and malicious Natalya silently shoved my stuff back in the bag and lay on the bed, muttering something about a batch of tourists, about a stupid book, which carry with them and the eighth day was going to throw out about trains that do not go at night to remove hence disgruntled. My advice to wait until morning she gave a very lengthy emotional conclusion about the “Mont Blanc” and turned off the light.

I must say that we lived in practical walking distance of all transport achievements of man, except for comic relief ships and planes. Even without opening the balcony could be heard as at 6 am arrived musorosbornaya car … no, not so … first of five rushing train, which, if desired from the balcony of our hotel you could touch his hand

then came a dump, then landed paketnikov tourist bus, then the car came to the shop, then again … the train, all accompanied by appropriate sounds … but nevertheless, each time we woke up later and later and wake us the magic smell of coffee in raznosyaschiysya throughout the hotel. And in general will not want to hurry on the contrary, it is here in Lautenbrunnen, a desire to negotiate with the time and ask him to slowly count moments …
To date, decided to go to the First. The most fertile time is the morning-was missing, so hope to catch the reflection of the mountains in the lake and see how it is reflected in a dewdrop world turned into a dream.
Grindelwald is a broad, densely populated (by comparison) valley, the village itself is much more than Lautenbrunnen. And surprisingly, drove a few miles and the mountains are felt quite differently, and snow on them is not so, and they seem to be higher, and is surrounded by other smells and daryatsya new emotions … .. And they say the mountains are static … They lie, do not believe, as a living can be static … In the most well Grindelwald entertainment for every taste and purse (in contrast, by the way, Lautenbrunnen). And all the ropes (do not know how they call it, was not interested … this is where bungee and rope ladders and mazes and all this at a certain height above ground in trees … sort of Sherwood Forest). Who are too lazy to walk can hire Scooter-bike (this is such crap, looks like a scooter, but the wheels like a bicycle). There is an interesting thing: First Flieger.

Two base stations lifts. The second away, almost at the end of the settlement on Pfingstegg (terminal station), from walking to get ice (2 h 50 min in both sides of the foot). First-in First-almost in the center of the village, opposite the Hotel Sunstar 4 * is a pointer (it found themselves on the third attempt, bruising the local population problems) generally seemed to us that signs of problems in Switzerland: smile:

The cost of the issue to one side of 32 francs 5 francs + parking for 3 hours (although walking is, of course, much more). As usual at the base station is taken to map routes and selects the most appropriate for themselves. Our goal was to Bachalpsee. Funicular lifts to First (2168), and then to the lake on foot tractor road about 45 minutes.

Yes, yes …. it crowd. We must wake up earlier, then no one will be)), but gradually people somewhere disperses and ceases to exert.

On reflection, we certainly do not have time, but what they saw just as good. Constantly in conversation and slipped in his mind: “What is beautiful in autumn!” And for myself have decided that if we hang around, be sure will stop here again. Uniquely-goal position.
But the interesting thing here is not the goal itself, and the descent into the valley

The entire descent took us about 6 hours.
At Berne I did not have: a simple laziness. But the eternal optimist engine and neubivaemy grabbed the map, grabbed a guide, pereobulas, jumped in the car and all … , at Byrne walks.

Late at night when darkness fell suddenly appeared a ray of light at the end of the valley: radiant girlfriend back home. In the hotel restaurant, a traditional evening of beer and discussing Bern plans for tomorrow. Tomorrow should be in Zermatt.

Still a great place this Bernese Oberland: mountains, waterfalls and lakes, and forests … and silence. From Interlaken is a road, then it splits into two valleys: one large and lively, light-flooded Grindelwald, the second is more narrow and sparsely populated, cut in the rock-Lautenbrunnen. At the entrance to the village, opposite the train station to the left of

is the cable car base station, from where you can climb to gondola to Glutscharalp, but there is a train takes you to Murren (only about 300 inhabitants). You can get up and walk, but fairly steep trail (about 700 meters in 2:00). Many people come here for 10 days and roam the mountains. Despite the fact that each time it becomes harder and harder for himself to be a surprise to date is the first place in Switzerland, where you want to come back. It is still a feeling that something is not inspected, somewhere not virtuous .. Most of the people in these valleys, single tourists, who come from different countries to wander through the mountains. Well, sure there are tourist buses, but they do not spoil the overall idyll. Apparently, “agreed»: smile: We yesterday Rothorn: weather in the morning amazing, the sky cloudless, and we have a chance. Quickly left the backpack in sandwiches and bottles of water on the familiar road headed toward the lift to Stechelberg, trying to catch the first gondola. Tickets to Murren in one side of 10 francs (about 100 to Schilthorn in both directions). The first cable car lifts to Gimmelwald, then move on and get to the other end. Lifts run every 30 minutes from 07.25 to 16.25 in summer and from 07.55 to 15.55 in winter. Holders of Swiss Pass – free travel to Mürren, then – with a 50% discount.

And in the evening was the charming town of Fribourg-at the crossroads of French and German speaking parts Shveytsarii.Gorod certainly good, but exhausting heat did not give to have fun and yes at one time for spectacular photographs had been lost, and the other has not come: shock:. Located in the hills, so constantly moves in a vertical plane. The historical part is possible by walking, car over there in harm than good, but the bridges nicer ride: smile:

The journey back was already unremarkable to us (after all, for almost a week in Switzerland), lakes, fields, cows … the only thing that surprised most of his unexpected, because previously they were not observed here, it is grazing llamas. As a real animal lovers stopped, plucked the grass (well, of course, the same place where they graze, grass and a little insipid it) and went to feed.

Of the proposed treat animals abandoned: that whether others do not take, or glut oneself in the morning, but pat yourself permission. It was a bold point of happiness in today’s day and, considering his success, went to sleep.
