Weekend in the Mountains

Hello,
On Saturday we walked downtown Lausanne. In the afternoon I left to drive to Leukerbad, in the mountains about 90 minutes away. The rest of the family stayed in the city for the weekend. Sunday morning I did a 51/2-hour hike. The weather was great, I saw several wild animals from the Alps, one that look like a mountain goat (picture 1) and another like a big prairie dog (picture 2) that lives in burrows.

I ended up on the top of a mountain that was 3000 m tall (about 9000 ft, picture 3).

Late afternoon I went to the thermal bath to relax with a great view of the surrounding mountains from the outside pools (picture 4).
