The Night of museums 2014 at Château de Chillon, Montreaux, Switzerland
If paintings and statues are not attractive even when free, what about a night in a real castle?
Move to Lac Léman for the night of museums and pay a visit to the Castle of Chillon, described by lord Byron as the most romantic location ever.
Choose between a real Middle Age sausage burned on wood fire …
.. or find more comfort in the castle dining room … with Middle Age raclette and Swiss wine …
Then, have some classic music after dinner to relax,
Best solo of the evening.
Don’t judge them by their age, these Swiss French kids were awesome players!
Have then a look to the sunset from the highest tower of the castle,
and on the way back home spy the castle silhouette in the dusk.
Not bad for a free night at museums. Click pictures to enlarge.
The highest lighthouse of the world: Oberalp Pass, Switzerland
Up there at 2044 m.s.l between Sedrun and Andermatt (Switzerland), a deep ocean of snow and ice covers every track for most of the year.Weather conditions change rapidly up here. When clouds roll down the mountains, most reference points vanish in the white mist.
Search then for the Oberalp Pass lighthouse: it will show you the path to sail off these perilous waters.
and before turning your bow towards Andermatt give a last look to the highest light-house of the world, which made you reaching a safe harbor through icy waves.
This Dutch-like lighthouse is built on the Oberalp Pass and is one of the starting points to reach the source of the river Rhine … in August, I suppose, as by middle May snow was still covering every hiking path … Pictures shot with D800 + 70-200 f/2.8 or 16-35 f/4
