Night sledding in Brunni Alpthal

Brunni-Alpthal, 40 minutes from Zurich, becomes a sledding eldorado every Saturday evening. Starting at 5 p.m., the skilift is reserved for sledding. Floodlights and headlamps beam into the night. Our sledding event in the middle of the night is an awesome experience. You see the stars in the cold and clear sky. While you‘re sledding down the hill close to the snow surface, you will have an intense speed experience. In contrast to other sledding routes, our illumi- nated slope is wide. It is so wide that you even can go sledding in groups side by side. The slope is a blue slope and easy to drive.
Our offer is a very good deal. It includes the rental of a special optimized sledge for comfortable uphill transportation as well as a head light and you can go sledding the whole evening till 8 p.m.. As sledding makes you hungry as a hunter, we offer traditional swiss cheese fondue in our cozy restaurant.

Schmitten, Switzerland
February 7, 2018 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C
Whit and I stayed for about a week in Schmitten, Switzerland with my aunt Fran (we went to Verbier for the weekend). Our highlight during this stay was hiking in the alps near to a holiday house that my mum's family stayed when they were young. Fran brought along cervala sausages for lunch and we made a fire in the snow to roast them. It was a quintessential Swiss experience.

Our other activities this week included hosting a dinner party for some old friends of my parents, eating delicious meals prepared by either Fran or Susan (Fran' s partner), and playing SkipBo (a fun card game).

Exciting family news: We welcomed our neice into the world! Gracyn Elizabeth Gresham born Feb 6, 2018, 8lbs 13oz.Read more

"Wings of clarity, peace and liberty" My hope: It would be wonderfull if everyone in the world could reach this for himself. And so, all the people of our planet would change to "blue and white". Maybe this painting is the beginning, like a catalyst."

Esther:
"Dear Heidi and Peter
I’m really so happy for the painting from you. I call it „Wings of liberty“.
Thank you so much for it. Thank you also so much for this beautiful project you started.
It’s a wonderful thing and I am so happy to be a part of it.
Thank you so much.
Love Esther"Read more

A Hike in the Swiss Mountains
April 17, 2016 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Today my wife and I went on a hike in the Swiss mountains. Our main goal for the day was to encounter as much wild life as possible. We learned that if you look close enough and be quit, it will show its wonders to you.
Tidhar was always the first to notice them. It always amazed me how close they are to us. If we have not been paying close attention to our marvelous nature, we could have easily missed it.
When we got to the top of the mountain, our breathe stopped because of the astonishing view.Read more
