The queen
Once more I walked down to the village from the high pastures
They adorned my head with flowers and pine trees for the parade
Thrill is in the air, everybody is positioned, the show can start!
Folklore music first.
I am so eagerly waiting for the response …
Who will be the lucky one chosen as Queen of the Cows 2017 ?
Off season
Surprisingly no queues at Mythenquai lido!
Quickly through the changing rooms …
… lockers locked …
The lake is just ahead!
For food and refreshments …
… showers …
… and playgrounds …
… we will come back next year.

Neglegible
The Stralrhüfe and Gonzen cliffs (forward) and the Alvier group (backward) in the clouds, 9 km far away

Three times above 3,000 meters: the peaks of Piz Ela, Corn da Tinizong and Piz Mitgel, 51 km far away.
