A Walk in the Clouds: Switzerland Photo Essay

March 18, 2020

Landlocked between Western European tourist destinations, Switzerland does not fail to impress with its diverse landscape. From its bucolic stretches of farmland, to its picturesque lakes, Switzerland offers travelers a wide variety of sights to take in.

Among the best of the Swiss views are of course located in its various mountain ranges. With famous mountainous sites that dominate Bollywood and Western films alike, the Swiss ranges delight all!

Last summer I had the opportunity to hike through the Bernese Alps, stopping for a day in the lovely Lauterbrunnen Valley. In Lauterbrunnen, I was high enough to stand with the clouds, seeing just some of the sights the Bernese Range has to offer.
