Description

The Wood family holiday in Switzerland in 1937 begins with views of the mountains at Engleberg as a group of women enjoy the view and a man takes photographs. A train ride up Pilatus mountain then in Rigi Rulm we see a group of children pass by and a woman petting a goat. In Tremniezio we have views of the village from a lake and walk the streets of Bellagio. At the summit of Junfrau the Wood family throw snowballs at each other then climb some stairs by a waterfall before a phantom car journey through the Swiss countryside.
