At the end of July I was in the Gotthard mountains in Switzerland. Here are some photos from around Oberalpsee (a lake 2,033 m above sea near the source of the Rhine).

The edge of the lake is visible here (also a train) as I start my climb up:

Beyond the lake, there is a wind farm c. 2,400 m above the sea:

Many small creeks gathering the meltwater cut across the grassy landscape:

A mini-lake:

Still melting snow (with peaks well above 3,000 m in the distance):

Looking down east along the upper end of the valley of the Rhine:

Nearby, the village of Tschamut:

Near Andermatt, the famous Devil's Bridge (and two more bridges around it for the modern road and the rack railway):
