Les effets de brume dans la vallΓ©e sont vraiment superbes, surtout avec toutes ces couleurs pastels du bleutΓ© Γ l'orangΓ©. C'est bien l'endroit rΓͺvΓ© pour bivouaquer !!

not too bad, it was my first world cup, I came towards the back of the field but wasnt too far from the leader. about 4 or 5s... which is quite good over such a long Downhill.

Awesome shot. I may be going to Wengen in August, and I wondered where you stayed for a shot like this? Did you camp or was it a hike in the dark?

I did a bivouac in the opposite mountains (not far from the Bachalpsee lake).
You can do without a bivouac but the walk up there is probably around a couple of hours from Grindelwald.
You can shorten the walk by using some of the cable cars around but opening time may restrict you in terms of capturing the best lights.
Enjoy your trop!

Thanks. Can you legally camp in the area out of interest?

As far as I know in Switzerland it's allowed everywhere except in national parks (there's only one in the Grison region) and some other locally protected zones. But as long as you leave nothing behind then I'd believe you should be 100% safe over there (if unsure just check at the tourist info in Grindelwald).

Thanks for the information Samuel

BTW I'm not asking where you shot it from, but rather, how you decided where to stay

Perfectly captured! How much time do you spend in the mountains to get so much of these wonderful landscape portraits?
