Day trip to Bergun - Switzerland - Dec 27, 2007

In the village of Bergun, Switzerland.
No picnic tables or "club house" so we had to eat in the van. Worked OK.
Jacob and Cameron ready to go sledding. They go up on a train and then it is a 5-6 km run down this road and they reach speeds up to 59 km per hour.
While the group went on an evening run, Cyndy, Jeanne and I went to hear a youth choir in the local church.

Village scenes.
Ice counter at an outdoor pub.
Little lanterns were throughout the village.


Went on a train ride to Preda which is the top of the mountain where the sledding begins from.
While others went sledding, some of us went to the local baths in Char.

Interesting frost crystals.



Train that went to the top of the run.

I can only wish that this was my hat. Belonged to Len Reed, Kenny's dad.

Tiera and Kenny with his sister Jeannie just as they are ready to head down the hill.



On the top of the hill is the village of Latch where the original German "Heidi" was filmed.
