Wixi Lift in September 2012

The Wixi Bridge is built.

The Tal-Station

Chästeilet

Sunday was the 'Cheese Festival'. 

This is where the owners of the cows receive their quota of mountain cheese.

I say owners rather than farmers because it is possible to have a share in a cow and therefore get that percentage in cheese.

As part of the deal the idea is to spend a little time helping out on the alp.

Following are some short videos of the folklore entertainment during the day.

Today the cows left their summer abode.

 They walked down from Wengernalp, through the village and on to Lauterbrunnen and home.

Here they are at Almend

Passing Kneu, the upper end of Wengen

This year due to road works the usual trip round the town via the Schwimmbadkehr wasn't possible. This caused a bit of a stir as the cows know their route and were quite put out to be led elsewhere. 

A couple of photos from 2009.

Passing by the Berghaus Hotel.

Wixi, at the top!

I finally got to the top of Wixi today!

When I focus in to 'Wengernalp', it's actually Allmend!

In the background is the warning sound of a marmot, I wasn't able to spot him though.
