TSCHUGGEN GRAND HOTEL
TSCHUGGEN Grand Hotel! Yes, is sounds impressive, and it didn’t get less impressive when we arrived. Of course expectations are relatively high when knowing we are going to stay on a 5-star superior classified hotel, member of the Leading Hotels of the World. This is not an issue here; reception, concierge, management, shuttle service, restaurants, spa, room….TOP, TOP, TOP – from arrival to departure. OK,…

LIMONE
LIMONE sul Garda, a small town on the shore of Lake Garda, have been one of our favourite places for trips in the autumn for years. We always stay at the cutest little hotel; Monte Baldo, directly in the centre by a small harbour. Most of the rooms have a breath taking view of the lake and most of the town. Visiting in the autumn…

TOP OF DENMARK
From the top of Denmark – our home country. This is the very end of the mainland, called Grenen (the branch), where two seas; Skagerrak and the Kattegat Sea, splashes against each other. Fairly impressive, but don’t try swimming there! The food picture shows a stjerneskud (typical Danish fish dish, normally with 5 different types of seafood) from a fish café at the beach of…

QUINTEN
This is a really a nice Sunday trip: QUINTEN is a very small village, situated by the north shore of the idyllic Walensee, right beneath the Churfirsten mountains. It is only reachable by boat or on foot. We went there by boat from Murg, the trip only takes a bit over 15 minutes. On this Sunday, after having lunch at one of the restaurants, we…

PIZOL hike
Yesterday, 1st August, we had planned a hike on the Pizol high altitude trail. Because of heavy wind on the plateau, we were advised to make a stop on the cable car middle station by Pardiel. From there we could still enjoy an easy hike of just 3.7 kilometres. The Heidipfad (Heidi track/path) is a well maintained path, the first part of it even suitable…

Luxury in Interlaken
Interlaken is the gateway to the Lauterbrunnen Valley; fantastic water falls, some of the greatest mountain visits, including Schilthorn, Mönch, Eiger etc. More about this in later posts 🙂 This time our trip was mainly about a stay at the fantastic 5-star Lindner Grand Hotel Beau Rivage by the Aare river in Interlaken. Just a treat for one night. From arrival to departure we couldn’t ask…

CORIPPO
Corippo, the smallest village in Switzerland, with only 12 (13?) inhabitants, is also one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Verzasca Valley. Walking around in the narrow, and steep, alleys is like going back decades. Charming, calm, quiet, relaxing, stunning – all at the same time. No wonder some people, perhaps 800 years ago, wanted to settle here. At some point of…

Brienzer Rothorn
Have you ever been on the Brienzer Rothorn? Why not? Find a day in your calendar. This mountain, easily reached by the very old, but just as famous, steam rack railway from Brienz, is a MUST-GO! After finding a seat, just relax, enjoy the ever changing nature passing by – first the woods – then it opens up, suddenly you see the lake from different…
