The first day of the Bern adventure begins with plenty of time. Everyone sleeps in, taking it slow. Chill doesn't mean peaceful, so please no romantic notions! The cold, public...

On June 20, 2025, I temporarily returned to Switzerland and was greeted by an extraordinary heat wave.

Arrival at the Schweibenalp and the first days there. An igloo in white.

Sometimes the journey isn't the destination, but the people you find at the end of the way.

Lots of sun after Kandersteg

Highlight of the day: It's spring, the temperatures are accordingly. Before I started, my AppleWatch told me that it was 11° outside. So I dressed accordingly little. It was a...
