Even if we were in the middle of nowhere, we were not completely lost. Fortunally we had two cars with us and we managed it, to do some trips together. I think I crossed the border at least 50 time during our stay there. And we were only one time controlled. And then they were surprised, how many nationalities can fit in one car :-)
Next to Archamps there was Geneva so our first trip was of course to there.

The park beside the university of Geneva

The physic-building there (who doesn't like to study there?)

The sight over the lake to the famos hotels

The "jet d'eau", a 150 m heigh fontaine in the lake of Geneva
 

Next was Annecy:

On our way to Annecy we saw this nice bridge over a really deep vally

This is Annecy. Unfortunally the weather was bad, so we couldn't see the mountains around.

This mountains we saw on the way to Grenoble (the weather was better now)

Also very nice was Lausanne:

The university of Lausanne (Why are this nice buildings for universities only in swiss?)

The cathedral

A sunset in Lausanne.

A short visit in evian:

The thermal spring of Evian

Next weekend we were in Chamonix, near the Mont Blanc

Some mountains on the way to Chamonix

And that's the famos Mont Blanc. In fact, it looks very small.


Some other nice mountains.

Then a trip to Gruyere, deep in swiss, followed. First we were in Chateau d'Oex.

There was not only a nice landscape....

... there was also the "Breitling Orbiter", the first balon, that sourrounded the world.

The castle of Gruyere

And inside the castle

Well, this is enough about culture!
