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 […]

The ascent to Augstmatthorn
Summer has arrived and, with it, restrictions have ended in Switzerland. Little by little we are returning to normality. The only reminder of the epidemic is the few people that wear masks on the streets of Zurich and the hand sanitizer at the door of every shop and restaurant… These […]
Read MoreLast days of autumn
Since I came back from Seville, weather hasn’t been great in Switzerland. Temperatures have dropped suddenly and it feels like winter. The impressive autumn colors from a few weeks ago have faded. It has even snowed already in the lower parts of the country (but it was a brief snowfall […]
Read MoreThe three lakes of Vals
We took it easy on our first day in Vals, exploring the surroundings of the beautiful Zervreilasee (Zervreila lake). After the long rainy and lazy spring, I didn’t want to exhaust myself on the first day of our trip. But the second day we decided to make a bigger effort […]

I missed last week’s post, I know. But there’s a good reason for that. March has been a busy month with a few trips within Switzerland and to other locations… I haven’t published anything but I’ve been very busy exploring new places and taking a lot of photos! It’s been […]
