      Jauenpass

      22. mai, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 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. mai, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 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!

      …And the Flag is a Big Plus 🇨🇭😉

      18. august 2023, Sveits ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      After a brief stop in Lyon to break up the long journey, I cross into Geneva. From Geneva I catch a train to Montreux and almost as soon as we pull out of the station i’m entranced. The route takes us along lake Geneva and with the blue sky and crystal clear waters, it’s stunning.

      From Montreaux, I catch the train to Zweiswimmen - a famous route known as the Golden Pass. I stand on the platform in Montreaux as the train pulls in and modern carriages with huge panoramic windows pass me by. I hold my nerve as tourists make a beeline to the front. Thanks to a friend I have insider knowledge and so I wait as the tail end of the train finally pulls into the station. The carriages are older but they’re quiet and most importantly, the windows open, allowing me to shoot photos without the reflections that have become my pet peeve on the train journeys I’ve taken so far. I spend much of the next few hours running from side to side of the carriage, and sticking my head out of the window, the new Hozier album in on the go, as happy as Larry, (and doing an excellent impression of a golden retriever). Everywhere I look there’s towering mountains and rolling hills. I think Switzerland might just be one of the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen

      Dag 20 Panorama weg

      10. juni 2022, Sveits ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Laatste echte vakantiedag. Niet al te laat op, met de fiets naar het treinstation. We hebben een reisepass gekregen en daarmee kunnen we gratis gebruik maken van het openbaar vervoer. Als trein enthousiast wil ik wel eens in een smalspoor trein mee reizen en dan ook nog een tandheugel baan, ik heb er zin in.
      Op het station nog 15 minuten de tijd om nog wat foto's te maken.
      Het ritje naar Brünig duurt maar 10 min. Als de trein even buiten Meiringen op het tandheugel traject arriveert, mindert hij snelheid en hoor je "Klilkliklik" En neemt weer snelheid op. Leuk, dat schuine gevoel in een trein. Met een gangetje van 40 in het uur, GPS traking op de telefoon, gaat het omhoog.
      Wat mij opvalt is de reinheid. Alle treinen zijn schoon, van binnen en van buiten zélfs het materieel voor onderhoud.
      Bij Brünig begint de "Panorama weg" naar Reuti, het eerst gedeelte gaat door het bos, heerlijk koel, dan volgt na een km of 3 alpenweiden. Helaas op asfalt. Wel mooie vergezichten op de bergen. Na 3,5 uur en nog 3 Km te gaan beginnen onze knieën zeer te doen. We besluiten om de bus naar Reuti te nemen. Daar nemen we zeilbahn terug naar beneden naar Meiringen.
      Nadat we onszelf opgefrist hebben gaan we lekker uit eten in Meiringen, we hebben gereserveerd bij Bar en Grill Röslli, dat was een goede keuze. Als aperitief nemen we kirch met prosecco en vers rood fruit. Lekker! Gevolgd romige groentesoep. Anja neemt witte en groene asperges met Hollandse saus en ik een hamburger van een plaatselijk rund. Onze serveerster heet Bernadette een heerlijk mens. We komen aan de klets, ze houdt van de bergen en fotograveren.

      Day 61: Stansstad to Cham

      13. juni, Sveits ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      I dipped my feet in Lake Lucerne next to a snake while Graham got our passports checked by the polizia. They were both lovely and hot. We found a park at Cham caught the train to Zurich. Did a city walk exploring “old town” and trained back. Walked around Cham and discovered a beautiful swimming area at Lake Zug in The Hirgarten. Sat and admired the view while eating dinner at Hirsi See Lounge watching the sun set and talking to a local.Les mer

      St John’s Church ⛪️ / Lac du Klöntal

      12. juni, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Une journée sous le signe d’une belle grasse matinée avec un tour aux abords d’une petite église St John’s Church, perdue au milieu d’une prairie avec son architecture baroque comme de nombreuses autres dans la large région du Tyrol de l’Autriche à la Suisse en passant par l’Italie, où l’on parle d’ailleurs presque autant l’Allemand que l’italien.

      Destination maison avec la moitié de la route aujourd’hui ! Dernier stop un peu avant Zurich au bord d’un joli lac isolé au milieu des montagnes, paisible avec peu d’âmes qui vivent aux alentours. Une dernière nuit loin du tumulte de la ville.

      Fin de parcours demain pour un retour vers Nancy avant la suite de nos aventures en Bretagne pour le week end: cap vers l’ouest !

      Merci à mon acolyte de voyage à l’humeur constante, capable de s’adapter à toutes les situations : Alexandrine ❤️ ! Team Alex(s), de retour en octobre pour une destination nordique 🇳🇴

      Heaven is a place on Earth

      6. juni, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Wow, Switzerland is beautiful, and I didn't even get up into the mountains.

      The crystal clear lakes, waterfalls everywhere with snowcapped mountains. If I was religious, this would be how I'd imagine heaven to look.

      We stayed in a place called Wilderswil, and the view from my room was amazing.

      As beautiful as it is, I couldn't live there. It's too strict for me. For example, you can't flush the toilet after 10 pm. And you're not allowed to hike naked... so I'm out! 😁 But I'll definitely be back for some hiking!

      Ofenpass

      8. juni, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      The way up to Ofenpass is a single road through the (only) national park. And on a sunny weekend like this, all the fancy cars and bikers are out to play. Contrasting experience to the solitude in gigantic mountains that the ride up Albulapass had been. The views into the natural park were splendid, I admit.

      At Ofenpass at 2100m, there was a cafe. I sat down to have a brew and a pre-noon beer to celebrate. The motorbikers looked at my loaded bike with raised eyebrows.

      Albulapass

      7. juni, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      I set about climbing the final stretch up to Albulapass up at 2315 m. This was going to be my highest climb yet.

      The sun was beaming down bright on my attempt and it felt great to be riding this high in my shorts. The opening of the pass had been delayed by yet another week, apparently due to avalanches. I went past the barricades and climbed on up to have a fully motor-free experience of this mountain way.

      I could see why the road was still closed: on the upper sections there was snow piled up on the banks up till my chest. I was skirting past the avalanches they were planning to clear in the next few days. I pulled up to Albulapass without major difficulties, feeling pretty great.

      Right up at the top of the pass, was a little guest house. I peeked in for a coffee, expecting it to be closed. Jeannette, who runs the place, handed me one and we got chatting. We ended up speaking for several hours in a great heart-to-heart. It felt like yet another old friend I had met. What a spiritual place for the meeting too.

      Eventually we both peeled ourselves away from the conversation, and then I freewheeled down the great slope, smiling at the snow and rocks.

      Lai da Palpuogna

      6. juni, Sveits ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Climbing past Preda, I came upon this beautiful lake that Sarna had tipped me about. Fed by fresh snowmelt pouring in a rage over the rocks, the water was clear and cold. I found a cozy spot for my tent and sat down to have another picnique magnefique as the sun set in the gap between the two mountains.

      I woke up to be accosted by Daniel, who was very friendly and spoke passionately. He spoke to me of the Bahia faith, its philosophy and how there are only 1400 of them in Switzerland. He had lived 15 years in China and was now back here... All this while I was still packing my tent and walking back on to the road. It's crazy how many different kind of people one meets on a slow travel. He probably thought the same about me, as we said our byes.
