Summer is here. We’re in the middle of a heat wave in Switzerland, with scorching temperatures above 30ºC (ok, maybe if you’re reading me from Spain this may not sound too hot… but 30º in Switzerland is very hot weather!). And all I can thing about is running away to […]

About the last year…
I know I said in my last post that I would try to write more frequently… Well, I didn’t. I’ve been taking photos, I’ve been travelling and exploring new landscapes, but I haven’t been able to find the time to sit in front of my laptop and start writing… The […]
Read MoreSummer in Engadin. Part I
As I mentioned in my previous post, it’s been a weird summer in Switzerland. Too rainy, not too hot. Lots of storms too! And with a baby, this kind of weather makes it difficult to plan short trips or holidays in the mountains… So when we saw a few sunny […]

Read MoreHiking in green Appenzell
Mountain trains and cable cars are open again here in Switzerland. Another step to normality and, officially, the beginning of the hiking season. Yeeeiiii!!!! Now we can reach higher and more remote places. Before this, everybody was going hiking to the same locations, all reachable by car, and that meant […]
Read MoreGriesslisee, the little glacier lake
It’s been more than two months since the last time I went to the mountains. At that time, landscapes were still white and pristine, lakes were frozen… Since then, spring has arrived, unusually dry and warm. The snow has melted almost everywhere and the green grass covers the idyllic Swiss […]
