Spectacular pics as always, Tony.  I really love your foreground/spectacular view in background shots... with a plant in flower with amazing views of mountains etc behind.  Very enjoyable. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind comments folks!  The report on my 3 day trip is going to be spread over 3 weeks at the current rate :) but here at last is the finish of day one.  An early evening walk from Unter dem Berg to Adelboden.  I took the last cable run down at 5pm just in time for an ice at the cafe at the Talstation.  Ice lollies always taste best late in a long hot day ;D.  The valley flowers I saw were unremarkable apart from the quantity and quality of the display.  Here is a taste for you.

Day 2 - Hahnenmoos Pass.
On day two I moved on to Hahnenmoos Pass.  At 1927m it is a 3 hour hike from Adelboden but you can make it easier with a bus/gondola ride :D  I enjoy staying higher up, with wild nature on the doorstep.  I have not gone so high as to need ropes and crampons ... yet!  The Berghotel at Hahnenmoos pass has comfortable rooms, enough good walks for two or three days and the food was good too :)
On the morning of Day two I walked to Sillerenbuhl along the contour following Blumenweg.  At the Sillerenbuhl end there were many well placed information boards.

I had never seen more than one Camanula thyrsoides at a time before ... here there were two!
