Welcome to Wander We Go. I’m Alex.
I write about life in Zürich, travels throughout Europe, and musings on both.

I had never snowshoed before moving to Switzerland, and now, I quite literally can’t imagine winters without it. Too dramatic? Maybe so, but snowshoeing is my favorite winter activity and the key to surviving - even thriving - in winter is to find at least one winter activity that you enjoy. Preferably one that makes you feel like you are inside a snow globe. Enter: Snowshoeing in Switzerland!
Raunaq and I have lived in Zurich for over two years, and while we are by no means experts, we have figured out a few things. While this guide is (hopefully!) useful for first-time visitors to the city, it also includes all of our favorite bars, restaurants, cafe and things to do - so maybe even if you live here, you’ll learn about a new place.
The Kesch trek is a 4 day trek in Graübunden. It was recommended to me by a fellow hütte dweller at Blüemlisalphütte. She said it was a great trek - a lovely region with each stage being a good challenge and length - not too easy and not too hard - kinda like a Goldilocks trek. She was dead right.
