Here you go:




Colour in this one wasn't great so I knocked it out and tried to make something "artistic"!




Worth zooming out just to capture the backdrop!





The way up...


So from where you get off the bus, this is the view to the "destination" (ridge)




Swiss chalets


The ants on the ascent


This was probably the toughest bit in some respects


Final stretch


Worth it though


The buses we arrived on


The "target" (or one of htem)


The Eiger in the distance




From left to right (under the cloud, you have to use yuor imagination!), Thunersee, Interlaken and the Brienzersee

Spectacular.......thanks for that Toby

The 'ants' give a real scale persective.

I went in the current Gotthard tunnel last year on a trip from Zürich to Lugano. You get sent round and round a couple of mountains two or three times in order for the train to ascend or decend. I think this new tunnel alleviates that need.

Proper train set scenery
