Mountains

Besides chocolat, clocks and order, Switzerland is of course also well known for its mountains. Last few weekends I have been lucky enough to finally do some hiking. Good thing of Lausanne is that it is strategically located in between the rough and high Alps and the more roling and moderately high Jura mountains.
For some reason, the Swiss don't consider a mountain finished until they've built a train on it. As a happy result, I can easily reach some of the most beautiful hikes in about an hour. Needless to say I've now discovered that, and I'm intensively taking the opportunity.

So far I've been in the Alps once (4 hrs, 1400 >> 2000 meters):And in the Jura twice. Once for a hike close to the French border (5 hours, 1000 >> 1100 meters (easy)):
And last weekend for a heavy one up a large canyon (6 hours, 800 >> 1400 meters):
Good weekens spent with the hiking mates from former french-class!
