top of the NufenenPass 
guess that used to be a small glacier 100 years ago 
so after the Rhone Glacier visit, I wanted to take Jacqui up the Nufenenpass, as I saw and got some amazing photos of the Ibex with their big horns ( check out the photos here from my trip here in 2018 )
we looked but they weren’t around today 
harsh landscape 
lichen 
with 400mm, I’m using them as binoculars to try and find any Ibex 
Glacier, Griesgletscher 
right on the top of the Nufenen Pass there is a big pond, which naturally in winter would be just a solid block of ice, so it was surprising to see so many tadpoles 
look at them go 
and the Alpine cotton plants
white on top 
with tadpoles on the bottom 
some serious geo activity happend here 
crumbling in front with nearly vertical rise behind 
no Ibex 
jagged edges

having a beer in the Nufenen pass restaurant 
The Agene 
yeah, that’s totally covered and hidden in winter 
local herders 
so many rocks 
so many bends
spot a footbridge over the Agene on the side of the road 
so we check it out,
in the middle of it now looking straight down 
little waterfall 
pretty 
you can read all about this footbridge here ( if you can read German ) 
size of the pine bark 
ok, time to head to our next stay, not far to go
Nufenenpass Switzerland
Not quite done after the Rhone glacier and still with some time on our hands we head to another alpine pass
