Sometimes the fog has its benefits as in this case where it made a blank backdrop for the photo. Blatten is in Wallis. From there one can take the ski lift up to Belalp. I've been up there only in the summer, to wander around and take a look at the Aletsch glacier.
Addendum, though unrelated: Here's a link to a skit on TV that's crazy popular for new year's eve in these parts.

Somewhere in Oberwallis. I haven't been able to remember where, but when I do, I'll update the text.
Update: Thanks to reader Wellingtonia for identifying the villages. That's Ritzingen (part of Gemeinde Grafschaft) in front, the little chapel is the Feldkapelle of Ritzingen. A bit of trivia: the birthplace of Cesar Ritz (of the hotel fame) is Niederwald, a neighboring village in this region. Yep, "ritzy" can be traced back to here...
