Stayed in interlaken for 4 days then onto Davos 2 days Switzerland is a great place if a little expensive, talk about bottled water if they could bottle that fresh mountain air!!

Was a great trip, but out of the 13 days I only got 5 afternoons good weather, but its all about the driving for me 3180 miles:driving:

Interlaken is amazing. Did you go to Grindelwald and see the Eiger, Joch, Jungfrau mountains? I've skied in Davos, great place. Did you manage to spend time in Zurich? Its where I lived and one of my most favourite cities in the world. I feel sad thinking about it now :cry:
Maybe I should plan a roadtrip next year!

Spectacular! I've thinking about a Euro trip for some time, looks like I should re-think the route :thumbsup:

We were there in 2011 & 2012 - did you venture into Italy for any of those shots?!

Grimsel and Furka I'm guessing and looks like Stelvio.
