So I choose simply one village to indicate where we have been which is close (in fact we have only passed this village but not been there).

New loves!
How wonderful to discover a new hiking valley, especially one so peaceful and scenic! I love those old stone houses with their slate roofs and the spring flowers and wild summer berries. Great views too, from the trail--so surprised and glad that you could cross a glacier in just your boots. Happy hiking!

A love story
Nina and Markus you make us want to hop the next plane and go hiking in Switzerland...but the good news is that it looks like we may make it to Switzerland in 2016 and we are excited! As you know Switzerland has been on our list for many, many years and looks like the dream will come true. We will start by tromping around in the graveyard where some of Dave's descendants are buried. Eager to see the pristine mountain tops and do some hiking. Thank you for all the notes you've given us over time and introducing us to just one more must see area.
