Alpine Flowers in Switzerland

February 9, 2016 by susanpots 2 Comments

Early May last year we drove from Lake Como, Italy to Tashe, Switzerland.
As the crow flies, these areas were so close on a map,
but of course the roads did not go that way.  Tashe is the town you can drive to,
then one takes a train to Zermatt at the base of the Matterhorn.

The first flowers I saw to photograph were in a cemetery!

It was quite beautiful to see that people cared about those who had passed away.

Later in the afternoon, we took a hike on the mountain above the town of Zermatt,
and saw fields of wild crocus.

The next day we drove up an alpine valley, saw many wondrous waterfalls and
some other wildflowers whose name I did not know.
