First sight of The Alps
Approaching from the north in Switzerland, The Alps rear up like a formidable barrier reaching into the clouds.
However even before modern road and rail links they were rarely particularly difficult to traverse even in winter - as there are relatively low level ways through.
Far more snow and ice is retained on the north side, and the weather is often much cooler and wetter than to the south.
