Looking forward to this one!  I doubt I will ever see them in person but seeing them through your eyes will be wonderful!

In this pic in the foreground you can see the majestic Monte Rosa,the second peak of Europe.
The pics where taken in late April and the games where still in the lower elevations.

The scenery is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to post these great photos.

BTW, when I was kid over 50 years ago and my dad was stationed in Germany, your photos of the region remind me of Garmisch when Garmisch was a little sleepy alpine village.

Most of the tree here are beech and aspen.On the snow we were able to clearly see the track of roe deer and wild boar.It is incredible how those boars are good on the mountain.
At a higher elevation we saw plenty of track of red stag and then of chamois.
