Welcome to Wander We Go. I’m Alex.
I write about life in Zürich, travels throughout Europe, and musings on both.
All in Hiking
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!
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.
A seriously gorgeous hike that makes you feel like you are in the heart of Switzerland. The namesake three lakes (Seeaplsee, Fählensee, and Sämtisersee) are all beautiful in their own right, but this trail has so much on offer: a heart-pumping climb for a bird-eyes view of Seealpsee, the most charming herdsmans village of Megaslip tucked high and deep in the mountains, and sweeping views of Santis and the sharp, distinctive ridges of the Apstein - just to name a few of the highlights.
