Last week I spent a week out of the country. Main destination were the ever magnificent Swiss Alps, hoping to find some snow. Following the sun led us to a lot of different places:

• the Gotthard line, first time in winter
• the Rhätische Bahn, meter gauge trains in magnificent landscapes
• the region between Strasbourg and Saverne, chasing the last months of the Eurocity’s to and from Brussels

More photos of the trip will follow in due time (read: when I have finally finished working on my 2015 photos). In the meanwhile, here are 5 impressions of the trip. One for each day.

Day 1: Gotthard nordrampe

Day 2: Gotthard sud- & nordrampe

Day 3: Rhätische Bahn Albula line

Day 5: halfway back home, a day between Strasbourg and Saverne
