Winter’s Gate by lolloriva

After an unusually hot summer, nature is slowly preparing for the upcoming winter. A shot taken in Bedretto Valley in the Swiss Alps. A big thanks to my friend Enrico Boggia for his patience in posing for this shot and inspiring me the idea. If you like you can see some of his great work here: 500px.com/enricoboggia

Autumn in Switzerland by RetoSavoca

A cool evening during fall at the lake Saoseo – the clouds and fog were chasing the sunset –
clouds 2 sunset 1 🙂
I still liked it – greetings from Switzerland!

Altitude view by Tardigrade8

Unforgettable experience. Just have to do it again some time. In addition of euphoria for conquering a peak it was also cool that I was all alone on the summit because the top is mostly a siege and is usually really crowded.
But there was a minor problem when I climbed the summit of the Breithorn I forgot to grease the sun cream on my face and I got a second degre sunburn on my face, other than that it was unbelievably wonderful.

The Breithorn is a mountain in the Pennine Alps, located close to the Matterhorn. It is considered the most easily climbed 4,000 m Alpine peak.
This is due to the Klein Matterhorn cable car which takes climbers to over 3,820 m (12,700 ft) for a starting point.
The standard route (SSW flank) continues over a glacial plateau before climbing to the summit on a 35 degree snow slope.
However, inexperienced mountaineers may run into severe difficulty if caution is not taken near cornices or in bad weather.
For experienced climbers wanting more of a challenge, the half traverse of the Breithorn crest is another option.
