Switzerland Pics (What are these 2 places?)

Posted by (Boulder, CO, USA) on

I love finding pictures of places that are so beautiful but they aren't labeled. I'm starting research on visiting Switzerland and really want to get off the beating path. Both of these pictures I came across on the internet look like places that fit that bill, but the problem is I have no idea where they are at. So I've got a challenge for the experts, name these towns:

  1. http://www.etihadholidays.com/holidays/img/hero3-switzerland.jpg

  2. http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/images/photos/photo_lg_switzerland.jpg

Thanks and good luck. :)

It will be challenging to come up with exact locations of either photo. I've been to the source websites and the photos are not labeled as to exact place name.

Maybe some genius here will come up with exact locations.

If not:

But go to the Lauterbrunnen Valley if you want scenery like what's shown in the 1st photo.

The 2nd photo is (I realize this is obvious) a typical pastoral view of a typical village in the foothills of the Swiss Alps. Probably in the area of Switzerland well east of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, would be my SWAG. It (the 2nd pic) is not in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Brian,

I'm also not sure where in Switzerland these might be? The first photo is so small, it's difficult to see much detail. The second, while a larger photo, is typical of many places in Switzerland. My vague impression is that perhaps this was taken somewhere along the route for The Glacier Express.

If you find the answers, please let us know as it may benefit others here.
