Switzerland

During the conference, I stayed at the CERN Hostel	Here are some pics of my room	simple accommodations
More room pictures	It was very comfortable	…if not spacious
Me blocking the view	The view I was blocking. The French border is < 1 mile away.
Views from the top of Verbier	The valley was spectacularly deep	Steep slopes and gondolas
This was a great, though expensive, ski resort	Almost all the runs were above tree line	Not much of a crowd either
Picturesque rugged peaks, they look like they’d be fun to climb!
The crowds were pretty thin, even considering the fact that it was a Thursday.
A 270° view from the top.
The town of Verbier. I stayed in town, but it turned out there were cheaper options nearby.
Overlooking Brigs, CH	Rugged mountain	You can see the roads on the opposite side
Living on the edge	Frozen Eagle	Stay at the top of Simplon Pass!
Deep snow for the end of March	Find the house	Find their driveway
Panoramic view of a mountain and a farm
Panoramic view of Brig Valley
The road to Furkapass (closed)	Someone needs to explain this…	Badgers we don’t need no stinking badgers!
I think this was the towns water source	A different life	What can I say?
Peaceful village on hill	Furry, well inculated cattle
The view from my hotel in Morël. Notice the cows (not pictured) in town, with no pasture access.

	In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy, and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock. - Orson Welles (The Third Man)
