Latest on Mount Fuji

Climbing Mount Fuji-san is not an easy task and you need to be well prepared. However, if you take you time, follow the advices of people who already did it and if the weather plays along as well, it could be one of the most inspiring experiences you've ever had. The pictures here were shot by my friend Julia Wimmerlin and my husband Stefan when we climbed Mount Fuji together last year (2011). A special THANKS to them for sharing their photos with us.

My favorite photo is strangely the one with the old structure (one of the rest stations?).

When we reached the top, we were too exhausted to take photos. Great share you got there!

I'm yet to climb Mt. Fuji but if there's any incentive to do so, it's these pictures! Stunning!
