Today we drive to a neighboring county to scale a very famous Swiss mountain called Mount Pilatus.
I think it is technically part of the Alps, but isn't realy one of THE alps. But regardless, it is very tall. After getting a little bit lost, we find Pilatus and board the world's steepst cog-wheel railway to take us to the top. There is still snow on the mountain in some places!
It is really beautiful, and at the top we take some great pictures.
Unfortunately, it gets really foggy, really fast so the view of the Alps turns out something like this: 
BUT!!!! Redeeming factor. Pilatus is a DRAGON mountain! With caves!
All of the lore of the region is about dragons. There is a particularly fun story involving Pontius Pilate and supernatural counter-offensives. You should take a moment to read it:
Dear Switzerland. This is the craziest person I have seen since I left Athens. Congratulations. WHAT?

We have a snack at the cafe: Bratwurst and pommes frites (so swiss) and head back down the mountain.
SWITZERLAND, WHAT?
