      Jauenpass

      22 de mayo, Suiza ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      With the weather forecasts swinging this way and that - and often missing, I decided to ride on East. On Dario's reco, I planned to ride over the Jauenpass up at 1500 m.

      The ride up was with a sombre light, with sudden splashes of sunlight giving emerald green views. These are the pre-Alps, so they're generously forested and make for pleasant riding. As pleasant as cranking up 1000m can be.

      I rode down the other side of the pass in a blaze, at one point hitting 65 kmph! From there on the trail joined the lake route, heading towards Thunersee.

      Near Spiez I climbed up to Aeschi and was greeted warmly by Nicole (swiss flight attendant), Adrian and their sons. We ate a lovely meal, with me trying to explain my story in German now instead of French. Somewhere close to the Jauenpass, the language had silently switched to German.

      Ratvel crash camp

      19 de mayo, Suiza ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Helene put me on to a variation of the lake route that took me over the Terraces des Lavaux . Today was the opening day for the wine caves, so there were parades of pretty tourists walking around with goblets in hand, laughing and looking in awe at the stunning scenery of the sunlit lake. I felt a little less enthusiastic, having measured the steepness of the climb up here.

      At Chardonnes, I stopped off to meet Maude. She treated me to cool syrup in her garden overlooking the lake near Montreux, and regaled me with some stories of her bike trips. I decided not to stay and pedaled on towards Bulles.

      Just at the descent near Ratvel, I had an accident. A stream running across the road had made the bed very slippery. I fell with Schopper in a thud and a splash. I was drenched and shaken, but could not detect any real damage. Crazy how a little bit of water, flowing fast, can change your ride.

      That was enough for the day, so I decided to spend the night here. Maybe a few things would dry overnight - except it rained during the night. At least the sunrise was memorable!

      Suisse 🇨🇭

      16 de junio de 2023, Suiza ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Bon bon bon… Pas de forfait en Suisse donc je fais le post des deux derniers jours ! ( tellement pas d’internet que Callista a eu 45€ d’hors forfait sans le faire exprès…) Donc on est arrivés hier midi à Genève et on ne s’est pas éternisés car c’était pas vraiment ce qui nous plaisait le plus d’être en ville, donc on s’est carapatés vers ailleurs en longeant le lac Leman, on est passés par Lausanne ( petite balade au bord du lac où on a vu des plages magnifiques) puis on a trouvé un tout petit camping perché au dessus de Lausanne mais complètement dans la campagne, entouré de forêts ! Et on a donc fait étape au camping du portillon pour la nuit ou la vue était à couper le souffle !
      Après une bonne nuit on a décidé d’aller visiter Bulle puis Gruyères sur les conseils de Lu et c’était vraiment super beau ( en plus c’est la ville ou le Gruyère est né !) on s’est donc arrêté dans un petit resto pour prendre un café, resto avec une vue incroyable ( tous les paysages sont vraiment fous en général ) même si j’ai payé le café le plus cher de toute ma vie ( 5€20) mais qui était servi avec une petite mousse sucrée au Gruyère donc ça va j’ai pas fait de scandale… Puis pour passer la nuit on est actuellement dans le camping de Chateau-d’Oex qui est complètement entouré de montagne avec une immense piscine ( puis comme c’est Juin le camping est vraiment pas rempli c’est très agréable ). Et donc on s’apprête à manger avant d’aller tester la night life Suisse ( vu l’endroit on s’attend pas à grand chose) ou au moins aller visiter de nuit la petite ville ! Bisous 😘

      Chocolate Factory - YUM

      5 de septiembre de 2022, Suiza ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      After we hit up the Cailler chocolate factory! This was the first Swiss chocolate brand and according to Natasha, it is the best and only chocolate she will ever buy! -we did some taste testing and it was delicious. Canada is missing out :( Piet says in Europe they have a minimum coco content that exceeds what Canada uses.Leer más

      Der 50. Tag

      19 de abril de 2023, Suiza ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

      Heute Abend sind Jonas und ich also zurück in unserer Unterkunft, die wir heute Morgen verlassen haben. Und hier bekomme ich von Roby zu meinem 50. Tag auf dem Camino sogar fünf Kerzen zum Ausblasen! 😍
      Anschließend gibt es köstliches Käsesoufflé und ein typisches Dessert, das aus Baiser und Creme besteht. Köstlich und einer der Gründe, warum ich auf diesem Weg vermutlich nicht abnehmen werde.

      Die Zeit bei Roby und Denise wird mir mit Sicherheit als eines der Highlights auf diesem Weg in Erinnerung bleiben. Sie haben mir, einer eigentlich völlig Fremden, wie selbstverständlich ein Willkommen bereitet, das über Gastfreundschaft weit hinausgeht. Danke dafür. ❤️

      Val de Charmey Day 19

      13 de mayo de 2023, Suiza ⋅ 🌧 54 °F

      No sunny idyllic Swiss countryside scenes today. Overcast and rainy. Managed to get in one good tourist visit between rain drops. Off to Gruyères, home of the cheese for Quiche Lorraine and fondue. First stop the obligatory,and highly advertised, cheese making self -guided tour. A busy place and interesting audio on the cheese making process, done from the cows point of view. 😂. And a very good gift shop.

      Then up to Gruyeres, a totally pedestrian village, so you park at the bottom and walk up. On the ascent you are acutely aware of the cows around - all have large bells. See pic below (the real cow one). Crowned at the top of the hill by the Chateau de Gruyeres, the town is lined with souvenir shops and restaurants. Not very big, but cobblestone streets and lots of tourists from all over the world made for a lovely afternoon.

      I had made up my mind that today was the day I was going to have fondue, I have seen peoples eating it at every restaurant I have visited in Switzerland. I don’t remember ever having it since it was popular back in the 60’s and 70’s. Found the restaurant I had read had “the best” and had a seat, thankfully, as it had just started raining harder. A real splurge - both on calories and expense but it was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel I could eat. It is served with small baked potatoes, cocktail onions, cornichons, and bread. While I was waiting for lunch, I was reading on line the etiquette of eating fondue. 😂. A real treat and I topped it off with the chochatiest chocolate ice cream I have ever seen down the street at a chocolate store. (And REALLY good). I am done for the day!
      Back to the car to plan where to go next for a walk when the rains came in earnest. So home it was for the evening. A break came around 6P & I went out for a walk - found a path to follow along a rushing river and added a few more pics for the day. Tomorrow looks better for weather.

      Val de Charmey, Switzerland Day 18

      12 de mayo de 2023, Suiza ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

      Left Annecy, France this AM via auto on my way to Val de Charmey, Switzerland. Only about 75 miles away, but some stops along the way. First one was unexpected. Crossing the border between France and Switzerland, I was signaled to pull over. Come to find out, you need to pay $45 for the privilege of driving in Switzerland! 😂. I, purposely, rented in France as it was about $1K less than renting in Switzerland, so they just got $45 back!

      On to Val de Charmey, a mountain village at around 3,000ft in the Alps. On the way I stopped at Lavaux, a grape growing and wine making area of Switzerland, near Lausanne on Lake Geneva. Lavaux is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its beauty and surroundings. The vineyards are all on steep terraced hills rising out of the lake. There are tons of walking/hiking trails to wander thru the vineyards which stretch for many miles Truly beautiful. Their vines are a bit behind our, had some leaves it in another month those hillsides will be covered with green. I parked in the small hillside village of St-Saphorin and walked thur the vineyards to the next small village of Rivaz and back to car. Only a couple miles rt, however. A lot of up and down! Lunch at a restaurant by the lake in Cully nearby.

      On to Charmey. Found the new apartment easily, it’s fine but not as nice as I have had to date. However the surroundings make up for it and the view from the terrace is stunning. A stop at the grocery store to stock up for 4 days and them out for a long walk. Hiking and biking in Switzerland are a national sport. Cannot describe how wonderful it is to be back in all this beauty. Back for my wine on the deck and pasta for dinner.

      Gstaad and Saanen

      25 de diciembre de 2019, Suiza ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

      We spent a couple of hours exploring the towns of Gstaad and Sannen during the afternoon on Christmas Day. Some amazing Swiss Chalets and interesting shops! Lots of fancy people in Gstaad which made for some great people watching. Finished off with a tea and coffee at a lovely cafe in Saanen. Back to our Airbnb to make a roast chicken and some cake for Christmas dinner. A nice day all round!Leer más

      Eine Einladung zum Raclette

      18 de abril de 2023, Suiza ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Heute passiert mir etwas völlig Unerwartetes: Jonas, der Deutsche, den ich vorgestern kennengelernt habe und der von Konstanz bis Santiago geht, hat hier einen Caminofreund in der Gegend, der ihn für einen Tag begleitet. Ich laufe den beiden am Vormittag über den Weg und unterhalte mich ein wenig mit dem Schweizer, der zum Glück etwas Deutsch spricht. Dieser lädt mich prompt ein, wie Jonas bei ihm und seiner Frau zu übernachten. Zum Abendessen gäbe es Raclette. Ich falle vor Begeisterung beinahe aus meinen Wandersocken.

      Und tatsächlich: abends finde ich mich in der Nähe von Romont wieder, wo die Frau von Roby uns abgeholt hat. Wir werden liebevoll versorgt und untergebracht, exzellent verköstigt und fallen schließlich totmüde und zufrieden in unsere Betten.

      Gruyeres

      5 de septiembre de 2022, Suiza ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Sorry, do you recognize that name? You say cheese? YES! Next stop was a medieval town where Gruyeres cheese originated! We went into the castle and I was just amazed at the article dating back before the 1600s. Like. That's more than 200 years before Canada was even founded. Then after we had lunch. How can you not have a cheesy lunch when in Gruyeres. YUM. Piet wasn't too impressed because it spoiled dinner but it was SOOO good.Leer más
