Since the weather was bad, we decided to check out the town instead of slugging it out on the slopes with high winds and zero visibility.
The shots below are reduced from the output size of the digital camera to 700 pixels wide.

these, but without the snow blower.

Sunnegga Express station is in a tunnel. Train is at a 45 degree angle and goes up the Rothorn.
Chalet on the side of the mountain, with tunnel entrance.
Hotel Perren. Electric taxis were everywhere.
It was fun walking around town. Shopping was fun too. I bought myself the Swiss equivalent of a Timex watch..
