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.

The yellow house is our Hotel Primavera in Brissago, quite near the Italian border – which Gerhard also knew from other holidays!!! The Hotel is on the hill overlooking the beautiful lago Maggiore and our balcony had a magnificent view on to the Lago, as you can see. The climate was lovely and mild, and an absolute change from Graubünden, because here we had almost tropical wheather and vegetation and could leave our heavy coats back in the wardrobe….

These are some of the many romantic impressions during our walks by the lake in and around the lake-side village of Brissago -so many beautiful views, so they do not need much explaining – we just share them with you here. For us they are unique memories.
