From Sörenberg past the Eisee up to the Brienzer Rothorn
A day hike from Sörenberg: cows on the path, a swim in the cold Eisee and, at the top, the improbably blue Lake Brienz.
We live in Basel, and still Switzerland has had far too little space on this blog. Yet much of what we usually travel north for is right here: glaciers, high routes, mountain lakes and light tipping over ridges, often just a train ride away.
On this page we collect everything from Switzerland: our posts, the photo spots with coordinates, and the tours that were worth it.

Two days on the Great Aletsch Glacier: roped up across firn and bare ice, 550 steps up to the Konkordia Hut and on to Märjelensee the next morning.
