Winter hike by the Senda Ruinaulta.

Last fall I went for a hike near Flims, and this past weekend I did a similar hike, but in the snow. I chose this hike because the area around Flims was supposed to have the only sun within about 200 km of Zürich, and I really needed to see the sun!

By the Walensee.







I love walking in the quiet of winter. The world just looks different under a blanket of snow.











It never ceases to amaze me how different the Alps look in the summer and the winter. Every summer I take the cable cars on my hikes and just can't picture how things look under snow and with all of the skiers, but the transformation happens all the same.









Overall, it was a nice Saturday in the mountains, and I even saw some sun!
