Hiking at Urnerboden

It's a holiday weekend (no school on Monday), so we took the opportunity of the good weather and long weekend to go for a Sunday hike in the mountains. We visited Urnerboden (near the Klausenpass) earlier in the year for sledging when there was tonnes of snow, and wondered how it would be for a hike. After the cable car up, it's 8 km downhill (steep in places) and in part through the woods. Had a picnic at the top and saw three marmots bounding around when we were peering down the cliffs (the kids highlight), and Bea loved feeding the Alpine Choughs. This is the same walk in the snow.

We found some massive ant nests in the woods.
