Together In Switzerland

All Things Swiss

ABout Us

We are Dawid and Zoe. 

We work full time, but try to squeeze in full time travel alongside. Our international adventures can be found at Together in Transit, but it was time for a shiny new niche website for our new chapter: Life in Switzerland. 

Moving to Switzerland was a big decision for us. After living abroad since our teens in numerous countries and cities separately, it was time to explore a brand new country together… In Switzerland. 

To be surrounded by snow-topped mountains, crystal clear lakes, good food and plenty of aperol spritz.

Love is friendship on fire

Our personal relocation journey is shared here, with how we officially moved ourselves from the Netherlands to Switzerland in July 2022. It was quite a process with all our belongings and our kitty cat Szila.

We decided to settle in the beautiful canton of Ticino, South of Switzerland – specifically starting in Locarno, but then moving to Lugano. We fell in love with Ticino Switzerland the first time we visited, and still madly in love since we’ve arrived. So it just made sense for us to base our new Swiss life here. Which is why you will also find many posts on Together In Switzerland about things to do the Ticino canton. But we like to explore to other cantons as much as possible too!

On an extra note, we love to collaborate and meet others during our travels. If you are interested, kindly reach out and let us know and we’d love to meet you!

How to spend a day in Ticino 🇨🇭 A recommende How to spend a day in Ticino 🇨🇭 A recommended route! 
We love having friends and family visit us in Ticino, which makes us plan some amazing days out in the canton. 
Here's the day outline in full: 
1. Start your day with breakfast in Lugano 🥐☕
2. Drive to the Bavona Valley for exploring, stop at many points of interest along the way! 🌲
3. Reach the scenic village of Foroglio and find the local black cat 🐈‍⬛
4. And then take time hiking to and around the waterfall. Hike above it if you want too! 💦
5. Now time for a late lunch: either take a picnic or visit a local spot for food. We recommend the Ristorante Bocciodromo 🍴
6. From here head down to Ascona 🌴 for a drink along the promenade 🍹
7. Drive up to Monte Gambarogno for a mini hike and sunset 🌄
8. Home time!! 🚘
We did this day plan on a (mostly) sunny day during Autumn, but it's definitely doable in another season like Spring or Summer! 
📍 SAVE POST FOR YOUR FUTURE EXPLORING IN TICINO ❤️

The design includes the city name of Lugano with 3 recognisable silhouettes of Monte San Salvatore, the city lakeside gate and the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence tower 🇨🇭
It is 3D printed with a gorgeous white, glossy plastic making it super lightweight for hanging up on a Christmas tree. 
The string chosen is a simple thread, with a dark blue and rich red colour to match the Ticino canton flag colours.

Embracing tranquility: Lake Geneva ♡ Our weeken Embracing tranquility: Lake Geneva ♡
Our weekend exploring a few lakeside locations of Lake Geneva was fun. We stayed in Vevey, but explored both Lausanne and Montreux 🇨🇭
We went to see friends and to explore the Montreux Christmas market - which was extremely busy!! 🎄
We were hoping for snow, but ended up with clouds for the Saturday and then stunning sunshine on the Sunday! ☀️ It was still cold and even saw some people swimming!! 
🏡 From our home in Ticino, driving here was easy to do via the Simplon Pass (which current has snow!). It takes only 4-5 hours with the pass, else you can take the Simplon car train (with your car)! 🚘
Would you swim in the lake with less than 10°c?! 😅
