Looking for snow in the mountains of Arosa

Tuesday, January 14th, 2020

It was December 26 and still no snow in the lowlands of Switzerland. So I ventured into the mountains. Friends of mine have an apartment in Arosa, a well-know mountain resort, and invited me to stay with them for a few days between Christmas and New Years. So I was able to escape the gray, wet cold and enjoy snow and sun. What a wonderful experience it was!

Below are my friend Bente, her daughter, Christina, and Amy, Christina’s dog, And there is snow, finally!

After a day of sledding, we relax at home in the cozy apartment.

 

And more snow and sunshine.

 

And here a few “Stimmungsbilder” (atmospheric pictures) of a winter evening in the mountains.

 

 

After a few days of delightful weather and great company, it’s back down to the foggy gray. But my nephew and our new family member, Owen, an Irish Setter puppy, made the return worthwhile!
