Here you go:

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

Image

Image
Worth zooming out just to capture the backdrop!

Image

Image

The way up...

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

Image

Image
Swiss chalets

Image
The ants on the ascent

Image
This was probably the toughest bit in some respects

Image
Final stretch

Image
Worth it though

Image
The buses we arrived on

Image
The "target" (or one of htem)

Image
The Eiger in the distance

Image

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

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.
