Thank you, Franz and Tony.
Jill just sent me another one which is a good shot of the mountains but not so good of the plant in the foreground! Is it a prunella?

Yes, Pedicularis it is.  I hesitate to differ with Franz but I don't think it is P. recutita which is taller and much darker in flower.  I would suggest P verticillata.
I have seen both in Switzerland, they are quite different.  On the Mannlichen (where your photo was taken) Pedicularis verticillata grows in great abundance.

Thank you to everyone who helped out with the identifying of these plants.
Jill gave a marvelous talk last night despite difficult circumstances with equipment failure!
The pictures of the mountain flowers were just wonderful especially the anemones, ranunculi and pulsatillas! Cliff would've loved it! ;D
cheers
