We took a day to go up the "mountain" and explore. Take in the views, ride the gondola and visit the ice castle that is in the glacier.

we had a wonderful day on the mountain. a great experience and opportunity to see the beautiful Alps. there is no beauty like these mountains in the winter. memories that will remain with us always.
Incredible. Just astoundingly beautiful. I think I would be very happy living in Switzerland.
