I got to spend a bit under a week in the city of Davos, in the Swiss Alps, last week (more on the what and why here!). With such a backdrop for a conference, we decided that an early morning trip into the depths of the Alps would be a good way to prepare for more scientific discussions.

And did that not disappoint! The Alps are truly stunning in early summer, with their fields of flowers, stunning views and picturesque villages.

I quickly realized that I hadn’t seen enough mountains recently. As my research has increasingly been moving into the computer and out of the field, it was getting increasingly rare that I saw the mountains with my own eyes.

So this post is here just to shamelessly plug in some mountain views.
