Flybe Cabing Bag Strict

Shanghai Swiss plains and mountains of Basel



Yes, friends, yeah ... If even a few days ago I had done it the question that makes you Panoramix Obelix at the end of Asterix in Switzerland, I would have responded exactly the same as him, what I find Helvecia how? PLAIN!


The Basel familiar territory could not be more (last year ventured in by the back sides of Gundeli neighborhood and found some hills that were immoral, at least to try them with my humble bicycle) and an a priori, you do not know qu and the Alps exist because someone has told you, I would not believe that this tiny country with such idiosyncrasy is the most spectacular alpine scenery in the world. Asterix

well known: in his quest to land Swiss had to climb high mountain in search of the Edelweiss (yes, yes, that to which he sang a bucolic Christopher Plummet-Von Trapp in The Sound of Music ... Probably one of the best songs of the movie) ... Of course, what's up the mountains was something I had yet too ...
Edelweiss
not see, but this weekend a servant, accompanied by an unknown man (say that Mr. E-was little shit) that you prefer not to know better she was there, we climb the Pilatus (yeah, yeah, that's the name ... It seems it is possible that Pontius Pilate was there buried), a spectacular lakeside Lucerne mountain over 2000 meters.

Yes, it is clear that tourism was a great experience (other side), since the matter is ready pa to the tourists as hincháramos us to take pictures ... But we could also enjoy a wonderful view I never would have imagined from the flat Basel.
españolitos
As good, going to anti-clockwise, we encourage you to start the issue rather late, about two. That made us lose our boat ride takes visitors from Lucerne to Alpnachstad, where the lower station of the steepest cogwheel train the world. Instead, we took the bus to the start of the cable car on the green meadows spectacular Swiss (Swiss cows, others that had already wanted to see ... And no, there are purple, hear).


The first part of the cable car that goes from Krieg to Fräkmüntegg, is made up of individual cabins. In the final season of this section is a multi-activity park with a very long metal slide that has to be amazing. Since there is yet another installment Fräkmüntegg until you reach the summit of Pilatus, but this last part is done in a collective gondola whose movement is impressive, especially during the latter part of the journey, when it comes to the station (it seems that mechanical ingenuity will crash into the rock wall).

top, the landscape seems from another world: a time of Pilatus, probably built in the seventies, has the appearance of Sputnik and seems to be off from time to time, and the hotel is in the top is currently in works, giving it a ghostly touch to the whole area (well could be a scenario Syberia).


Walks along the top are very interesting, but you need to wear good shoes, because although some are fairly paved, it should be beating about careful not to stumble and throw him down headlong down hill Swiss. The perpetual snow, green meadows and alpine lakes to the background mountains reassure the more nervous they get, and envy those who have decided to throw the feet to the shoulder and walk through one of the paths along the hillside.

Finally, we take the famous cog railway for the decline: views from it are incredible and the pileup, see that it was built in 1890, works great. Edge Swiss technology.

Finally, and on the surface, as mere mortals and tiny we are, we took the normal train back to Lucerne, where our tour ended sabbatical Alpine has done better than I can say the same as Obelix ... That way I is Switzerland? Mountainous and spectacular. Now.
