Lake Thun is an Alpine lake in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland region. Its shore is dotted with towns, including Thun, and Romanesque churches. In Thun’s old town, 12th-century Thun Castle houses a museum exhibiting prehistoric and medieval artifacts. To the south, Schadau Park has the Thun Panorama, a 19th-century 360-degree painting of the town. Farther south is Spiez Castle, with furnished 15th-century courtrooms.

I started my day under overcast skies in Interlaken, but once I saw a live webcam image that showed what it looked like above the clouds at the top of Schilthorn, I couldn't buy my gondola ticket quickly enough. I had to slip and slide my way across the snow to the outer platform at Piz Gloria to get this view of the mountains peeking out of the sea of clouds, but the reward was worth it for the few of us that did make it there.
 Interestingly enough, this was one of the prominent filming locations for the Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the only Bond film to feature Aussie actor George Lazenby as Bond. Even at the top of the Swiss Alps there's no escaping reminders of home!

Birg, the fourth of five gondola stations on the Schilthornbahn in Switzerland's Jungfrau region, peeks out above the clouds. It was so cool to stand at Piz Gloria (the top of Schilthorn) and watch this station appear and disappear every few minutes!

Just when I thought I couldn't be wowed anymore by the Swiss Alps, I found this view. Located just outside the alpine village of Mürren (which can be accessed via the gondola to Schilthorn), this was exactly the sort of view I'd come to the Alps to find -- little alpine houses looking out on a sweeping mountain view as far as you can see. I'd be very happy having this as my summer (or winter) getaway home!

The autumn colours of the Swiss village of Mürren, with the Alps towering behind in their ice-covered glory.

Gorgeous golds and oranges beginning to coat the Swiss Alps. I was so lucky that my trip tied in nicely with the beginning of the autumn colours -- even if I was a week out from the peak, they were still so stunning to see, especially for someone like me that has never lived in a climate that allows fall colours! Add to that the cozy little Alpine village of Mürren and you get an almost perfect day for walking in the mountains.
