Sundays are quite special here. Shops are shut, like all the shops! And it seems most of Switzerland is out and about with family and friends, exploring, hiking, cycling, swimming, eating together… It’s a pretty cool atmosphere.

We combined two of my favorite things: hiking and Swiss mountains and took to Mt Rigi, an easy half-hour drive from our home in Altwis. There we took a gondola halfway up the mountain and did a 4 hour loop hike up to the top and back down. Part of the walk was called ‘the way of the cross’ so we thought it fitting (being Sunday and all) to take along some communion bread and wine (syrup!) and celebrate Jesus.

The views of the Vierwaldstättersee and surrounding mountains are stunning.

A well deserved ice-cream after in the beautiful village of Weggis.

There will be more posts of mountains and hikes ?
