It's a long time ago since our last blog. Sorry for that! One reason is that we did not do much beside working this year. Our jobs have been keeping us quite busy. The other reason is that it was a very bad summer in Switzerland with a lot of cold and rainy days. So, the weather was not really inviting for nice mountain tours. If there was a nice period during the week, for sure, on our days off t... Read Full Entry

Hola mundo! - We are Nina and Markus. We are from Lake Thun/Switzerland and we are outdoor junkies. Whenever possible we spend our time travelling, climbing, ice-climbing, trekking or snowboarding/skiing. However, our life has turned completely when we met our spiritual master Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda in the year 2013. In the meantime we try to travel to places where he is (and gives blessings to people) as often as possible. From travelling in the outside because we were searching for something, we are now travelling for meeting him, enjoying his presence and travelling "inside". It ... full info

Thanks for the memories...
When we lived in Stuttgart, Germany, we spent many long weekends in the Bernese Oberland; staying in Steckelberg at the end of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and hiking the various trails you have written about. I've also enjoyed skiing Kleine Scheidegg, down to both Grindelwald and Wengen. I have dreamed about hiking from Grindelwald to Montreux from one valley to the next just as you described the hike from Leukerbad to Kandersteig. I was thinking of taking the gondola up and hike down each mountain ridge...the lazy way...but what I wanted was to enjoy the scenery! Have a great time in India...I hope you are not going as backpackers!

Stuttgart
thanks for your message. We are happy that we could bring up some nice memories! Great that you lived in Stuttgart. That is my (Nina) hometown! No, we will not travel through India as real backpackers (although we will carry our backpack and use local transport). I will do an ayurveda treatment and later we travel slowly up to Mumbai, staying in some private guesthouses sometimes off the beaten track. We also plan to visit some friends living there. Hope you will enjoy our stories.

Eiger, Jungfrau, Matterhorn!
These mountains are such legends--how fantastic that you got to visit quaint villages and then see these peaks from your great hikes. How bizarre that the top of the Schilthorn had so many tourists (the gondolas, clearly), but none of the trails--well, better for you! You may not have had many holidays, but these were fantastic. Have fun in India!

Oh yes, we love these mountains and are so happy that they are only a stone throw away from home. Thanks a lot, we hope India will be as great as on our first visit.

It is unhealthy to spend too much time working! Feed the soul and travel. We may need to add these hikes to our list of things when we get there. We are hoping we are coming in 2015. Details are not worked out yet. Loved the lord of the mountain photo.
