Could slowhatch and Chateau please come comment on this? I have "walked" all around the Matten thought to be location, and I don't remember anything that looked like a match to this? Can we spot this building on GE? With the funny addition/stairway with the maybe relective glass?

I can not convince myself that this IS in Matten now...

I don't think that is the patch of ground that Slowhatch & Chateau found for the cheese task,, its just not the same. Maybe they can look into it further?

Remember, they are tired, they are hungry and they are running a race, tempers are bound to flare so I really wouldn't judge someone from 1 clip.

The Waldegg pasture was/is my leading candidate because...I couldn't find anything better. If you want to try something different, the markers are the same:
  • a steep slope that ends on the city plain
  • a farmhouse at the bottom with a road leading into it
  • tall trees to one side, small stuff on the other
It would have been nice to spot that hut on the top of the hill (it doesn't look prefab), but I never saw it. The picture is taken from mapsearch.

Well, I think it is the spot. That appears to me to be an added on elevator for that building. It does look new in the promos, probably built after GE got the sat photo. I think you can see the elevator in slowhatch's pic. The path they run down ends at the hut. I think the fences are there to stop snow slides. That is a steep hill and nothing to stop snow slides. In GE you can see mulitple fence lines below(to the right) that path. If you look at the earlier promo where the bellringers are laughing, you see a sort of barren part of a mountain in the distance, over the bellringers heads, which fits a bare area above a town in GE called Beatenberg. I wish I could put all the pointy arrows on a photo, but I haven't taught myself how to do that yet.

The top of the hill is covered in trees, so hard to tell if there is a cheesehut there or not. The GE photo is taken in summer when all the trees are full of leaves. Lots of trees have lost a lot of leaves when TAR was there.

I'm probably frustrated because I can't get into that patch Slowhatch *hee Slowhatch's patch  :lol:
