Lej da Staz (Lake Staz) is one of my top photography spots in Switzerland. Not even challenging to get there – just a 30 min. walk from St. Moritz – this little lake is again and again worth checking out.

The Greina High-Plateau offers an exceptional nature experience! The 1 km wide and 6 km long plateau is linking 3 valleys at around 2’200 m a.s.l.: Lumnezia in the east, Sumvitg in the north and Blenio in the south.

On the occasion of today’s Wold Photography Day I’d like to publish a shot from my favorite photography place: Iceland.
On the occasion of today’s Swiss national holiday I once again like to publish a shot from a beautiful and iconic spot in Switzerland. This year I selected the Oeschinen Lake.

The Piz Bernina (Dominance 138 km – Height 4’049 m) is my favorite mountain and the second most dominant of the Alps. It is located in the canton Graubünden and from the top 10 dominant mountains of the Alps the most eastern. It is actually the only mountain of the eastern Alps reaching 4’000 m.
