In 24 hours:
- Klausenpass, 1948m. Partly a funny sidled road between rocks. Because of rare safeguarding officially considered "dangerous road". Unfortunately my digicam lens was dirty (children!), pictures blurred.
- Sustenpass, 2224m.

- Göscheneralp, 1797m. At the parking lot driving on solid rocks, not pavement.
- Oberalppass, 2044m. My second and probably last time. Not very interesting.
- St. Gotthardpaß, 2108m. Again the Tremola (cubblestone, quite narrow turns).

- Nufenenpass, 2478m. After a long time I've seen Marmots again.

- Furkapass, 2431m. Detoriated houses in Wallis - to sell

- Grimselpass, 2165m.
- Oberaarsee-Panoramastrasse, 2370m.


There I tried the video function of my cheap digi cam for the very first time. My wife tried 2 years ago and was disapointed with the result.
Just took the camera into the left hand and went a mile. Only at home I realized how well it worked. Must get an attachment for the next time.

- Innertkirchen. Mountain "Jungfrau" ca. 3500m above the valley.

- Lauterbrunnental, ca. 800m. Famous for base jumpers - and their letal accidents.
Everywhere traffic prohibition signs, next villages are completely pedestrians area.

- Grindelwald, ca.1250m. On the right side mountain "Eiger" with its famous north wall (not very difficult, but dangerous).

- Beatenberg, 1200m.

Nice unknown scenery road above the Thuner See, comprehensive look from the distance.

Wow ts1, that scenery is amazing Shocked I don't know if I'd be game enough to ride on a windy road like that one handed but you did a great job filming it the way you did. Love the ultra cute Marmot picture. I saw a show about Tibet where they hunted & cooked them Cry
