On our European Pretzel this past summer, we finally made it to the edge of Switzerland where we stayed just outside Basel for 5 nights. On our first full day, we got up early and drove into the small village of Engelberg at the foot of Mt Titlis, where we took a cable car and then a chairlift up to Brunnihütte. At 1860 meters above sea level it had some nice views of the surrounding mountains, including Titlis, and they stayed with us as we hiked back down to Engelberg.
We thought we might escape the 38C temps in Basel that day, but Engelberg was climbing fast towards a hight of 34C so our trekking wasn’t as breezy as we had hoped. Still, the views were lovely to the eye — but with that bright summer sun, taking shots was a bit of a challenge. Here are a few snaps of the views (and ubiquitous Swiss cows) seen as we made our way down the mountain above Engelberg, Switzerland.

The Alps are such an exquisite landscape. Looks like you had a fabulous hike although I can sympathise with the heat. I was hiking in the Austrian Alps in June and it was too warm to be comfortable, although still spectacular.

We did enjoy! But, yeah, after Switzerland, we headed to Austria and our time in Salzburg and Vienna were some of the hottest days in that heatwave. Whew!!
