Kandersteg.

The gondola up to Oeschinensee and the summer toboggan back down. Steel rails through the meadow, the Bernese Alps all round.

Wide-angle selfie of me in a gondola cabin holding a coffee
The gondola up. Coffee in hand, the valley falling away under the cabin.
Selfie of me on the toboggan rail, the run winding down the meadow behind
The top of the run. A steel channel through the grass, and a sled with a single brake lever.
Selfie of me mid-sentence, the toboggan rail running straight down the hill behind
Somewhere on the way down. Nobody touched the brake.
Selfie of me with the Kandersteg valley and the gondola pylons behind
The valley behind, cloud on the peaks. One more run.
Me riding a toboggan sled out of a wooden shelter onto the rail, mountains behind
Back at the top for the second run. Then the car, and Chamonix, and Geneva by evening.
Filmed from the sled behind, a friend ahead through the bends.
Feet up, into the banked turns. The valley opens out below the rail.
The camera on my own sled. A friend gaining on me down the straight.
The bottom of the run, into the shelter with the valley behind.
