For us, the Waldhaus Flims Wellness Resort & Spa is the best address in the Flims-Laax-Falera region. This spectacular 5-star wellness resort is located in the middle of a 20,000 m² park, an exclusive oasis amid wide meadows, quiet hiking trails and fascinating mountain panoramas.

Our 4th wedding anniversary was getting closer and we wanted to do something really special. I had kept an eye on Villa Honegg for a long time, I knew it from various Instagram photos on which the breathtaking infinity pool with a view of the Swiss mountains and Lake Lucerne could be seen. Usually not our league in terms of price, but if you are looking for something very special for a special day …

Admittedly, I had my problems with Switzerland at the beginning. As nice and correct as the Swiss are … You won’t find connections so quickly here. When Sven moved a few kilometers further to the Pfäffikersee after 2 years, a lot changed …

It is absolutely no secret that we like to drink wine and love hiking 😍 A combination of both is therefore the perfect day for us 😉 I have already reported on our favorite wine region in Austria in my blog about the South Styrian Wine Route. Now we wanted to explore a wine region in Switzerland for a change.

I am always fascinated by the fact that you only drive a few kilometers further within Switzerland and suddenly nobody speaks German anymore. Lausanne is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, on the beautiful Lake Geneva.

Since we were stuck in Switzerland due to the Corona restrictions and were therefore not allowed to celebrate Christmas with our families, we decided spontaneously that we needed a change of scenery on New Year’s Eve. Fortunately, the hotel industry in Switzerland was open, a hotel in the Swiss mountains was quickly found. Nothing stood in the way of a short vacation including delicious food and snow hiking with Kayla 😊

To this day I find it fascinating how within Switzerland, in just 2 driving hours, the country & people as well as the language and cuisine can change completely. This summer we moved to the Italian part of Switzerland and yet we felt as if we were in Bella Italia 😍

Bellinzona, the capital of Ticino, is known for its 3 castles and is one of the highlights of Italian-speaking Switzerland. The castles and city walls of Bellinzona have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. Fans of the Middle Ages get their money’s worth here 😍

Since we can call Switzerland our second home, we have fallen in love with this medieval town 😍 Whenever family and friends from Austria visit us, a day trip to Rapperswil-Jona is a must. Nobody has been disappointed yet 😉

Here I present you the TOP 6 things that you should do in Rapperswil.

Up to now, it has always been true for me that the further a travel destination, the more interesting it was. I only wanted to explore destinations that could be reached in a few driving hours when I was old and gray or as soon as I didn’t want to take such long journeys 😉

The Corona virus has thwarted us globetrotters in terms of long-distance travel, at least for the near future. However, I am overjoyed that the hotel industry was able to reopen and that we could at least go on holiday in the surrounding countries. Suddenly you realize how grateful we can be to live in such wonderful countries as Austria and Switzerland.
