The stunning pictures from Wales' Rugby World Cup camp as players settle in to new surroundings

Wales have been getting settled in at their training camp in the Swiss Alps this weekend.

Warren Gatland's charges are in Fiesch for a two-week altitude camp as they continue preparing for the Rugby World Cup.

Players will be put through gruelling training sessions as they're whipped into the best shapes of their careers ready for the global gathering later this year.

But there is also a bit of downtime at their disposal whilst in the sleepy Swiss village.

Whilst the training is hard work, Fiesch itself is beautiful and boasts some pretty spectacular views.

And the players have been taking in the sights, hiking up the mountain to take it all in whilst taking a break from training.

Wales will face warm-up matches against England when the return home from Switzerland before flying out to Turkey for a warm-weather camp.

Then there will be two more warm-up games against Ireland before the squad fly out to Japan.
