I love those clear days with just a bit of cloud covering, just enough to weave in between\u00a0the mountains and give them that stunning mystical look. But just the right amount of \u00a0cloud so that after a few minutes the wind can blow it away and you&#8217;d have a perfectly clear shot.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Mount Titlis- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/7826623586\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mount Titlis- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8304\/7826623586_8a730fbc9c_b.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Mount Titlis- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/7826631628\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mount Titlis- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8428\/7826631628_9aec0e5000_b.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There was also a couple fun extras things to do up on the mountain including a ice cave and some wicked fun tobogganing!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Cute Contest- Glacier Caves- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/7826620470\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cute Contest- Glacier Caves- Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8307\/7826620470_8b4b835d40_b.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/7826634780\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Swiss Alps, Switzerland\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8300\/7826634780_078f5419ee_b.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although I have been tobogganing many times before and the novelty has worn off on me, I always love seeing my Aussie friends get so excited about the snow.
