notes:

the Spitzmeilen, one meter above the limit of 2500 m, slightly rising along the wall at the limit of Sankt Gallen with the canton of 1000 peaks, the Grisons, largest of the 24 cantons of Switzerland.
The southeastermost limit of the Flumserberg ski resort, the slope that leads 500 m altitude lower to the battle in uninhabited foehn valley.

The last forest, growing above the limit.
Thanks to a microclimate it still is able to grow well above 1850 meters, the normal limit for trees in this area with northern exposure.

very nice scene, but shooting against the sunlight always dangerous -
your photo loose some colours, another colours strongly distorted -
in this case most of photographers change photo to one tonality or to b&w IMHO, regards
