Rochers de Naye is a Mountain in the Swiss Alps (2042 m) overlooking Montreux. It is only accesible by cog wheel rail way. The journey takes about an hour and it is well worth the effort as the views let you look over Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) to Lausanne and the Jura, Savoy and Vaud Alps and the Dents du Midi. Just spectacular. Whilst there you can eat in the restaurant which is built into the rock face (we didn’t because we had eaten well in Montreux.) There is also a marmott park with hides built in rock caves which allow you to observe them closely and also allows spectacular views as well. At Christmas it is a favourite with my nephews as Father Christmas is present along with his reindeer. They have sleigh rides and ski. These photos were taken at the beginning of summer.
This post was done for the Weekly photo challenge If you have the time hit on the square symbol top right hand corner one in from the edge, which will make the photo the correct size. The photo quality is just superb (in my opinion.)
About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Brrr. I think after 14 years in Mexico my blood has thinned out to much to take the cold…What a wuss. Thanks for letting me experience it via pics, though, Irene–heartier one than I!!!

I know what you mean about the blood being thinned out. I find the cold difficult to take now too. It could also be an age thing for me. Glad I live in the tropics.

Oh, this hurts my heart with its beauty and reminds me of Grindelwald, Switzerland where I worked for a time many, many years ago! One odd thing–the Mesh gallery was on the last shot when I got to the page. Weird!

Glad to bring back memories but sorry it hurt your head. The mesh was on the last picture in my wp site also but when I go to mesh it starts at the first. Weird and I don’t know how to fix it. I am not sure about the use of mesh either although I think the quality of the pictures is particularly good.

Irene, your photo captures the amazing atmosphere of Switzerland. I loved living there for four years and your photo transported me back there, thank you!

Glad to take you back. You were lucky living there for four years. I felt I was lucky having a brother there to visit.
