Late August in Switzerland: I’m wearing a hoodie, a winter hat, and my Ugg boots inside my apartment because it’s chilly. 🤣
Month: August 2018
Kapellbrücke
On our way home, we stopped to see the Kapellbrücke, Lucerne’s famous medieval covered wooden footbridge.

The Pilatus Flower Trail itself is quite picturesque.

Today we took guests up Mt Pilatus near Lucerne and walked the Alpine Flower Trail.

Aescher Panorama
The views were mostly a total whiteout, but the skies cleared just long enough for me to take this panorama from the restaurant.
Gasthaus Aescher
Today we ate lunch at the quintessential Swiss mountain restaurant, Gasthaus Aescher in Appenzell. It’s a 20 minute walk down the mountainside and through a cave. Today was cold and rainy but it was still worth it.

Oeschinensee
Today we drove up the Kander River Valley to Kandersteg and then took a cable car up the mountain to reach the Oeschinensee (Lake Oeschinen). The far side of the lake abuts sheer cliff walls. I swam (cold!) and then we hiked down to Kandersteg.
