1st encounter with snow in Switzerland's Mt Titlis

From Zurich, the journey to Mount Titlis at Engelberg was about 2h. On the way there, we passed by Lake Lucerne, Lucerne and Zug. Zug is the smallest town in Switzerland and is a low tax region, thus many wealthy people make their home there. Many companies also are located there. Zug is where Pilatus is.
Also to note, the captial of Switzerland is Bern but Zurich is where most banks are located.

And... Mount Titlis is beautiful!! It stands at 3020m, 10,000 ft.. I wouldn't mind going Zurich again. Rhine Falls and Top of Europe await me...


Scarecrow for Halloween!




Lion Monument in Lucerne. It commemorates Swiss guards who were massacred during the French Revolution.
