Stories
Snippets of my adventures as I explore the world around me. Here are a collection of my hiking stories, my travels and my mind's meanderings.
Seven Days along the Via Alpina | Central Switzerland
This seven-day hike along the Via Alpina in central Switzerland is a must if you’re looking for a long-distance trek in the Swiss Alps.
Coffee and snowshoeing on Klausenpass
I had my first snowshoeing experience during the Christmas break on Klausenpass, Switzerland. We gathered all our siblings, and we trekked in the snow from Urnerboden to Klausenpass. We enjoyed a cup of coffee at 1,948 m above sea level before descending back down into the snowy valley.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland. December introduced a flurry of snow in Switzerland, and I took to the hills to enjoy a scenic walk in the snowfall.
Winter Wild Camping | Switzerland
Winter wild camping in the Swiss Alps. We cook shakshouka and huddle by the fire for a starry evening. Then we get cosy with a coffee while enjoying a slow morning in the November frost.
