switzerland is the heights of capitalism!!!!

Could you ever imagine a private person owning a mountain or further even a waterfall?
No right... but it's true!!! how many of us have heard of the famous Jungfraujoch(pronounced as yoong-frau-yok)- the third highest mountain in the Bernese Alps south of Interlaken. but does anyone know that the railway that takes you to the summit from the base and the peak itself is privately owned? amazing isn't it?
just imagine owning a mountain...
but it doesn't end here... the Trummelbach falls which also originate in the Bernese Alps is also privately owned by the Trummelbach family... the melting of the Jungrau flows through these falls...
even though the ticket to the summit is a bit expensive, it's definitely worth it... the transformation from the lush green landscapes to the start white snowy landscapes as you move towards the summit is breathtaking...
when i reached the top the temperature dropped to a numbing -33 degree celcius. a snow blizzard had hit the peak which is why we couldn't enjoy the various winter sports that the peak offers but still all was not lost...
the purpose of the ice palace as a legend goes is precisely this - for the tourists to have something to watch put for when the weather conditions turn bad...
and trust me its definitely worth it...
The palace's ice sculptures include vaulted rooms, birds, animals, penguins, people, automobiles, furniture, and even a bar. The palace is an amusing novelty and is worth visiting when you're on the Jungfraujoch--especially since it's free to Jungfraubahn passengers. :)
on the whole this entire experience definitely gets a must visit flag from me...
so until i take to anotther unforgettabel journey ciao!!!

a day in the snow capped alps - Mt. Titlis

Mt Titlis is the first peak in the world to have a cable car going all the way up to the peak from the base with one of them being a revolving one...so hop on the small cable car which sits only 5 to the first stopover post which you use the bigger car to take you to the next level. The lap of the journey is the most awe striking as the rotating cable car provides you with 360 degree phenomenal views of the snow-capped Alps. Once you land right on the peak, you will surrounded by nothing but soft cottony pearly white snow. The tempuratures can get quite low so warm clothing is definitely recommended... once on the top there are a variety of adventurous activities that you can do including skiing(you need to know skiing though), you could even try the snow bike. There's this amazing thing that you could try!!! they make you sit on a big tube and you are pushed from behind and down you go...woosh... down the slope... its an amazing experience... a must try... i would definitely never wanted to leave the peak to come back down through the three different kind of trolleys again... but unfortunately i had to...
so see you again for another chilly experience... till then Ciao!!!
