Travelling by train from the UK to France and Switzerland is much easier than you think. Not only that, it’s actually a really great way to travel, especially if you want the freedom to travel around multiple places on your trip, all whilst enjoying the views from the trains. So, to help you get the … Continue Reading
Our first trip of the year took all the way to lakes and snowy Alps of Switzerland – more specifically to Interlaken before heading over to quite a few amazing places in Valais (more on those in other blog posts). We arrived into Interlaken via Zurich (we took the train from there) and after checking … Continue Reading
If you’ve ever wanted to stay in an igloo then you’ve really gotta see this place in Switzerland. Nestled right next to the Matterhorn, the igloo in Zermatt is one unique experience you should try even if it’s just for one night! Yes, the rooms can be a little frosty but you’ll warm up with … Continue Reading
Geneva’s old town is absolutely gorgeous and is perhaps more what people would expect from the city compared to say – paragliding into the city from France or chilling by a beach club. The best way to explore this is really, as I mentioned before, to just ‘get lost’ here. Wander through the city slowly, … Continue Reading

After a quick 24 hours stop in Zurich, we caught the train to the Ascona, home to the Eden Roc Hotel – set right on the banks of Lake Maggiore. Lake Maggiore – along with Lake Como and Lake Garda is one of those amazing lakes you find in Italy. It’s also one of those … Continue Reading
We arrived in Geneva on a delightfully sunny day – the kind that makes you wanna hurriedly chuck your luggage into your hotel room and head out exploring straight away! And so that’s what we did! The hotel was thankfully within walking distance of the city centre so we head out on foot, strolling leisurely … Continue Reading
Geneva is a gorgeous city, one that’s filled with mountains of chocolate, some incredible history and a water jet that’ll put any fireman’s hose to shame. Surrounded by the Alps to the south, the city is a perfect place to begin your adventure in Switzerland. After many years of itching to visit, we finally made it … Continue Reading
This week we’ve returned to Switzerland (as you could probably tell from our Instagram) and for the most part of the week, we’ve basically flitted between the city lights of Zurich (and the tranquil charm of Ascona and Lake Maggiore in Ticino). It has been amazing! The weather has been so good (like ‘middle of … Continue Reading
