In the heart of the Jura Mountains and only minutes from the French border, this hike started in Saignelegier and was perfect for me since Robert is away in Tucson. Although I like the mountains, I don't mind going somewhere close and 'flat'. This fit the bill perfectly: pretty meadows, a beautiful lake and lots of terrific wild flowers. I LOVE SUMMER! See the pictures.
On Sunday I thought I try another hike since the weather continues to be perfect (mid-80's and sunny). Once I arrived in the correct location (Gurnigel is a mountain pass, not a town so the navigation system in the car had problems finding it) - I knew I had made a mistake. This was not flat or close. I will have to return because I wouldn't want Robert to miss it. High above Thun and the Thunersee there were incredible views of the mountains and the valleys AND a ridge hike too! New views over every pass - too good not to go back. Check out the pictures.
