Hiking in Switzerland



On Sunday, we decided to go for a hike. The scenery in the area turned out to be exactly what you imagine when thinking of Switzerland. Watch this short video and you'll see for yourself. We walked a circular trail near Col du Pillon which is located in Southwest part of the country between Gstaad and Montreaux. Along the way, we saw lakes, cows, mountain goats, water falls, different varieties of wild flowers, and lots of beautiful mountain scenery. We also enjoyed our back pack lunch beside one of the lakes, and then later, liquid refreshments at one of the chalets that had a great view to the mountains. Have a look at the pictures, and you'll see why we enjoy hiking in Switzerland. The scenery is simply amazing! Pictures are here.
