Winter hike in Alpstein

Last week I finally visited another area that has been in my Swiss bucket list for a long time: Appenzell and the Alpstein mountains. I was very excited with this trip. I’ve been seeing photos from this area for almost a year. Green rolling hills, high mountains, dark green lakes […]

Winter fog in Uetliberg

The other day I went for a walk in Uetliberg. I’ve already told you about this place, the very own mountain of Zurich (in winter and autumn). It’s so close to my apartment that sometimes I feel it’s like my huge garden. This is the place to go when you need to disconnect […]

Autumn walks

Living in the outskirts of Zurich has some perks. One of my favourite is having Uetliberg, Zurich’s own mountain, very close to home. It’s always a nice place to hike or simply walk when there is no other plan: there are a lot of paths in Uetliberg, some starting a […]

Golden days in Zurich

I was looking forward to this autumn, as this is my first in Zurich. Spring and summer had been awesome seasons and I couldn’t wait to see the city covered in golden leaves… Well, it didn’t disappoint me! October has been a very warm month, almost like summer, and very […]
