Adventure Travel Tours: A Day on the Trail
Up, Up, and Away
After drinking a hearty breakfast, we drive to the starting point. It is near our guesthouse in a convenient location, so we take a walk – greeting friendly locals and merchants on the road.
We board a bright red cable car takes us to rise abovethe valley to a distant peak. One of your comrades, one encounters excitedly: "Look at Marmots". We look at a trio of cuddly creatures stared at us on the rock face – so close we feel we could reach and touch them.
We land on a solid rock and wood-top station – now peaceful, this station houses a clacking mass of skiers in winter.
Pure mountain air and Emerald Lakes
Breathe in the fresh mountain air, we are on our way.Carpets of flowers around us. Gentle cows graze on the alpine grasses – serenaded us with a merry jingle of bells. Hiking here is so refreshing.
A winding road leads us through the hills of the moraine, now in a beautiful green, wrapped to the edge of a stunningly beautiful emerald green lake. The surrounding mountains are reflected on its surface.
We make a brief stop to admire this natural treasure. Some of our group walks around the lake – other lay back and enjoy theSerenity.
Walking Among the high peaks
Our route continues along a valley, bordered by tall snow-capped peaks. Beautiful rhododendrons are a lovely rolling heath. We tramp through a small snowfield – the coolness beneath the feet is in contrast to the glorious warmth of the alpine SO
We spy a pile of stones in advance with the familiar red and white lane marking painted on one of the rocks. Rounding a corner we spot our lunch destination in the distance – a sound Berghausfrom the surrounding rock.
Lunch on the sun terrace
How do we resolve ourselves to a rustic, sun-drenched terrace welcomes a seductive scent of frying onions and sausages with us. Lunch will be heaped hearty dishes – plates with hash browns and fried eggs with bacon (served in a beautifully golden, crispy fried potato pancake with egg and bacon) – a yellow-haired girl in a traditional powder-blue gown farmers.
We wash our delicious lunch with bottlethe local beer, and look to a massive glacier winds its way between two peaks and glistening in the sun.
Stunning Views
Well-fed, we get our trail and we soon broke out on a sloping hill – OFFER us a breathtaking view over the valley far below. We see a small village across the valley, the sun was burning houses and barns around a central tower. A great mountain rises behind this peaceful scene.
Slowly dropping down onegentle way, we will enter into a struggle for the sandals. We are greeted by a sharp scent, which reminds us of the cleanliness of this wonderful habitat. The afternoon sun is gaining strength and it's a perfect time for us, the cool loaminess enter the lower forest. We follow the edge of a glacier fed stream cascading – its chilly refreshes the air around us.
The warm sun and the smell of hay
We rattle taken over an old wooden bridge – the surface even of generationsCows driven to pastures. In the lower pastures, are the local farmers harvest hay with large wooden rakes. A soothing, SO-rich smell of dried grass greets us.
From the Cake
The relaxing scent of hay and the warmth of the sun has put us in a peaceful, comfortable atmosphere. We headed straight to the nearest cake shop our biggest decision of the day debate – is it for the delicate apricot-glazed cake, with the decadent chocolate mousse LashingWhipped cream, or the traditional (and oh so tasty) Engadine nut cake.
We relax to relieve themselves in a cozy corner and today's experiences.
Relaxing back at the Inn
We walk back to our cozy Bed and Breakfast – a great time for relaxed exploration of the local shops. Back at the inn, some members about reading in the beautiful woodland of the inn-paneled library – send postcards or other nap in the warm afternoon sun.
Later we will see how the sun paints the mountains with goldenColor. An adventure travel vacation in Switzerland is a fantastic experience.
Tomorrow, we set out on another beautiful experience.
