Switzerland Grätlisee
Small lake on 2661m between Grimsel Pass and Rhone Glacier. When the conditions are right there is a perfect reflection of Galenstock and Furkahorn.
Photography Tips
Tripod, ND filters helpful depending on the time of day. The sun rises behind the mountain range in June/Juli. It sets behind you. The chances to have no wind are best in early morning or late evening.
