Switzerland



And the third, and the last, postcard from Joanna is a beautiful view over Wengen. Wengen a village in the Bernese Oberland, located in central Switzerland at an elevation of 1,274 m above sea level. It has only about 1,300 permanent residents (the number rises up to 5,000 during summer and to 10,000 during winter). Wengen hosts the internationally well-known Lauberhorn ski races, and it is on the route of the Jungfrau MarathonWengen is also the home of The Downhill Only Club, one of the oldest British alpine ski clubs, founded there in 1925. Many many thanks to Joanna :)
