Feb 1 25 Spring Hikes in Switzerland

In the summer, Raunaq and I are focused on high alpine hiking. But in the spring, when all the snow packs are melting, there’s no better time to wander through a Swiss valley - especially if that valley is the land of the 72 waterfalls. Lauterbrunnen might just be the most whimsical place in all of Switzerland. Which, in a land full of storybook towns and rolling green countrysides and aquamarine lakes, is saying something. It’s modern-day Rivendell, and it is spectacular.

Jan 18 Snowshoeing in Switzerland

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!

Oct 1 Raunaq's Hikes - Part 1: Kesch Trek [Guest Post]

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.
