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?! 😅

Here's a view you should experience at least once!

Here's a view you should experience at least once! ☃️
This time last year we enjoyed a weekend staying in Zermatt, and explored both the Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn by foot.
This was super easy to do, making it perfect for non-skiers! The cog railway takes you up and has also the best views on the way.
The elevation at Gornergrat is 3,135m and located in the Valais canton of Switzerland! 🇨🇭
📍 Gornergrat, Switzerland

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 ❤️
