After a long hike, I stand before the endless beauty of Oeschinensee. The Swiss Alps stretch beyond as if painted by nature’s hand. Lauterbrunnen’s waterfalls whisper from afar, Zermatt’s peaks stand tall, and Grindelwald’s valleys echo with stories of old. The Jungfrau watches over, and Interlaken’s lakes reflect the sky. Each place is a chapter in Switzerland’s tale, and each moment is a reminder of nature’s grace.

We had some very unique conditions on Lake Brienz. Thin vapor clouds hovered over the lake`s surface, blown along by the prevailing wind. Guests on the morning tour were lucky to catch the moment when the sun came over the ridge and illuminated the clouds.

I’m living in my dream 👇🏻
Summary of an incredible trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭
Breathtaking places, food, walks, and landscapes 🗻🍫🫕🧀
And many other little gems and magnificent places were part of this trip that will mark us forever, I`m sure!
.
Waking up early and walking were the mottos of the trip but this is the only way we managed to do so much in so little time. Even so, there is a feeling that we have seen very little and that there will be much more to see!
.
It is to return. Until next time 👊🏻
