Its a beautiful place , and the railway trips are something else , we went up the highest mountain while wewere there Jungenfrau , when you get to the top there is a glacier that runs down the valley (behind my daughter) and an ice tunnel , it was stunning . My daughter and I went for 20 days on a Harley Davidson around Europe , we went from Northern Spain down to the south of France , then up to Pisa , Rome , Venice , Milan , and then into Switzerland , before heading to Disneyland France and then home again , it was a wonderful trip .

Nice, we did a Rick Steve's tour that went from Rome to Paris (7 countries). It was a lot of fun. Switzerland is one of those places we want to get back to one of these days.

I was going to Russia last March when the world fell apart, not sure when I'll get a chance again.

That sounds like an epic trip! I've been up the Jungfrau whilst staying for a few days in Mürren, it is a beautiful place to spend some quality time. The alpine passes are stunning as well, the Susten Pass was one of my favourites.

The photo of the bike is on the Susten pass , you go down to the bottom of the valley and then the Firkka pass starts , it was stunning over there , my daughter took this photo on her iPhone on the way to the hotel we stayed at

Stunning views! I wanted to do the Firkka as well but ran out of time. The first time I went over the Susten it was snowing and visibility was very poor. Fortunately on the way back it improved a lot.
