Ciaspolata (snowshoeing) on the Bachtel mountain
With its 1,115 m, the Bachtel is the second highest peak of Canton Zürich. The impressive snowfalls of the last days made it a perfect location for snowshoeing. Enjoy the panorama!
The track starts at 580 m.s.l. in Oberdürten
More horses than men
A steep stretch before the 800 m.s.l.
Almost there to the Bachtel top…
An ice-cold sunset on lake Zürich before the way back. Click each picture to enlarge. Pictures shots with D800 + 50 mm f/1.4G
Nice winter-time scenes. That’s a fairly good amount of snow, and beautiful setting. M
And it is snowing more and more this week! Soon only pure-white pictures to be displayed 😀
Love the Pics. Reminds me of many parts of Canada! My favorite is the trees with the picnic tables. I love the contrast between the horizontal and vertical lines.

I was skiing last week on the Swiss Alps and I could hear during lunch break a Canadian guy saying that Switzerland reminded him several areas of Canada … was it you 🙂 ? Thanks for the comment!
Haha…I wish. But the pictures remind me of the Rockies! Hope your trip was awesome!
Cheers

Reblogged this on Wilder Man On Rolling Creek and commented:
My son just won two races in a snowshoeing competition this week. When I saw this these images, from Switzerland, from Lorenzo Borghi on his blog, I knew that I wanted to pass this on through a reblog. Enjoy.
