This is the ninth layout of the 2013 PiNP Calendar, entitled “Klöntalersee”. The camera, lens used and location are noted on the bottom left of the document. This one’s for everyone who has emailed me requesting a high-res version of this photo… 

After climbing 2,000′ in just two miles on a 26″ MTB, seeing the Klöntalersee was a sight for sweaty eyes. This beach-lined lake glows green and appears to be plucked from the Carribean. All it takes is a neck-straining look to the sky to quickly realize that you’re in the Swiss Alps. After coming across this popular “swimming hole” all I could think was how cold the water would be. Oh and it’s a widely-used source for hydroelecticity within Glarus!
