...This time it was for business. I went to a Gordon conference and presented my work.

We were in Les Diablerets (above Montreux/ Aigle).

Here is the hotel:

Went to the top of the mountain (3000 meters) to walk on a glacier. You can ski all-year-long.

Weather was decent but changed quickly. You are looking at Switzerland and Italy far across the mountains.

On the glacier:

Then went to see my in-laws in Anzere (~ 40 miles away).

And the weather changed again:

Spend a day in the clouds:

Wow, great pics. My brother was in Chamonix a few months ago, kind of in that neck of the woods. Similar landscape.

I love Die Schweitz...spent a few days in Luzern on the lake.

From a GS3, this was sent.

Thanks guys. Yep, place is very nice. I will be there this winter for Christmas time with my family.

Could not live there though, its very remote, food is not as great as in France and its difficult (and expensive) to find ingredients.

On top of that a lot of people, and I mean a lot, drive Audis (Swiss fascination is seems).

Taking off for a winter family vacation back to the same place tomorrow. Will post pics.

This (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?5787-This-is-where-I-will-be-next-week&highlight=Switzerland) was several years ago. Wonder if there will be that much snow.

Very large bummer as there is practically no snow in the station! Skiing is limited to 6/23 runs and almost all is artificial snow.

Sucks a bit. But with family and friends so all is good.

Will try and post pics tomorrow.

Hot damn. All I did was sit in a chair and drive a little bit (so that I could sit in said chair).

Glad you're enjoying it!
