We hereby welcome our first visitor from Africa, the last remaining continent from where we did not have readers until now:

Skiing in Braunwald

Yesterday we had another nice skiing day in Braunwald, at the same resort where, just a few months ago, we encountered "The three-peak classic" rock climbing tour.  It was a pretty different, winter landscape waiting for us this time, all-around in white, with a thick layer of fog covering the valley beneath the slopes:

Braunwald is a relatively small ski resort in Glarnerland (about 1 - 1.5 hrs away from Zurich), not too popular and therefore less crowded, but with pretty scenic slopes going down the valley:
