The second photo is taken from the balcony of our hotel, the Furka Hotel – which Gerhard had headed for straight away when we got to the rcomfortable little resort Dissentis, because he had stayed there before!!! It is situated in the centre of town, right overlooking the idyllic railway station of the “Rätische Eisenbahn”, the “Gourmino express and the “Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn” with their pretty bright red waggons – which can be seen everywhere in the mountainous region because of their bright colour against the snowy mountains. We had this view right from our balcony!

Then there are photos of our excursions to the Oberalppass, the Schöllenschlucht, the Furkapass and the Rhone valley. Here the eternally snow covered mountains and passes are closed in the winter.
