I am into analog photography and as i recently taught a friend how to use a 35mm camera he went out and bought a small lot of old cameras with some film. He received also some rolls of 120 medium format film (which i shoot) and gifted them to me as he’s only shooting 35mm (for now). One roll of **Kodak Panatomic-X** was in a small can and sealed with the „exposed“ sticker. Assuming that film stock existed from 1933 till the late 80’s / early 90’s i can assume that this film is **at least 35 years** old but propably older.
I developed the film at home using Rodinal 50+1. The ink of the cover paper bled a little onto the negatives and the film is slightly fogged due to the age i assume but still some good pictures.
So i’m just curious if somebody can pinpoint the exact locations as i’m not much of a hiker. Berner oberland for sure. For all i know everybody on the photos could be deceased already but if you, by any chance, think you see a relative on those photos please feel free to contact me if you want the negatives or some high-res scans.

3 could be Bachalpsee
I would say Lauterbrunnen
Wow you really nailed the processing. Congrats.
Grindelwald/Lauterbrunnen valleys
First photo is [this church](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jhcoTzzcBanGzgm19?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy) in Mürren.
Second and third are above Bachalpsee, around [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/48bygu63bp9qP9yQA)
Cool find!
Somewhere above Grindelwald. Could be the area of First which used to have a chairlift going up (now it’s a cabin lift AFAIK).
The mountain on 8, 9 and leftmost on 12 is Eiger. 11 could be Wetterhorn.
