Salzburg – the best viewpoints in and around the city
As commented by the UNESCO, “the Salzburg skyline, against a backdrop of mountains, is characterized by its profusion of spires and domes, dominated by the fortress of Hohensalzburg. It contains a number of buildings, both secular and ecclesiastical, of very high quality from periods ranging from the late Middle Ages to the 20th century,” and […]
Leukerbad (2/2) – Torrent and Walliser Alpentherme & Spa
This is the second post about this gem in the Alps, Leukerbad and here I’d like to talk about the Torrent area, an ideal place for both winter sports and relaxation, as well as the Walliser Alpentherme & Spa, a resort featuring two thermal pools, a Valaisian Sauna Village and the Roman-Irish Bath. At the end […]
Leukerbad (1/2) – Gemmi Pass & Leukerbad Therme
Since I came to Switzerland two and half years ago, I have visited the Canton of Valais a few times. However, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered a gem in the Alps, Leukerbad. If you can understand a bit of German, you probably know that “Bad” in German means “bath”. Thanks to its rich […]

Heidiland – Pizol
Hello everyone! A few weeks ago I went to a mountain in Heidiland – Piozl. I’m afraid I’ll post more than 200 pictures in this post because there are so many things to do and to see there. Considering the summer season is finished (till 30th. October, 2016) and if you still wanna go there […]
Männlichen & the Royal Walk
Hello everyone! In my last post I wrote about the Mountain Schynige Platte and after it, I continued my journey to Männlichen, which is not a heavily advertised mountain actually, and I only read about it on the SBB website because Sbb has 30% discount for the cable car to and from this mountain. The […]
Schynige Platte & Alpine Botanical Garden

I love this region because there are so many mountains you can either hike or take a cog railway train or cable car to go the top, and view, in a sunny or mostly sunny day, is absolutely wonderful. I’ve been […]
