I went into town last week to watch the final of the Champion’s League in a bar, and I have to admit, it’s now time to start mentioning the football.
The European Championships (which is essentially all the world class teams apart from the South American nations) is being held in Switzerland and Austria from 7-29 […]
Each year the good people of Grindelwald celebrate the fact that they live right by one of the greatest mountains in the world.
The north face of the Eiger is still one of the most diffcult climbs, and the anniversary of the first ascent is worth remembering. Imagine spending a night sleeping in that concave bit!
The […]
Seebad Enge is another option for summer night lounging in Zurich.
It’s amazing what can be done with a few coloured lights and some chilled out sounds. And the approach often seems to be to take an open-air swimming pool and turn it into a trendy late-night zone.
Well, hardly late-night, it closes at 24:00. We can’t […]
I mentioned the ladies’ swimming pool in a previous post, and now it’s nearly summer (although not today) it’s time to mention the Barfussbar.
In the photo it’s about half way along the left bank of the river. Stadthausquai.
Open to the public - including men - after 20:00 on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, there is a bar […]
I know you like these ones.
On Sunday, Lichtensteig, a small town in the Toggenburg area, near Wildhaus, has a barrel organ event.
It’s for antique or home-made barrel organs, and around 20 are expected. I can’t imagine the noise if they all play at the same time.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a small antiques fair […]
Summer is arriving rapidly now, and it’s time to find those cool haunts in the city.
The lake is obviously one place to look, but the rivers are equally interesting.
Down at Oberer Letten, Halfway between the main station and Escher Wyss, is a place to swim in the river by day, and relax listening to cool […]
This Sunday, 18th, 130 Swiss museums are opening their doors to encourage children and adults alike to extend their knowledge.
Each museum has its own programme, so it’s probably best to check the kanton you are interested in here: http://www.museums.ch/index.php?id=48
I’d probably opt for the transport museum in Lucerne, planesd trains, even racing cars. What more could […]

Just 20 minutes by train, the S10, from Zurich main station, is the best view of the city and lake you’ll find.
The Uetliberg is at the top of the ridge that runs along the lake, and gives spectacular views in all directions, especially from the observation tower.
It’s a 15 minute walk from the […]
Artosa. Art, in Arosa - brilliant!
15 international artists are exhibiting sculptures in the open air: in the pastures and meadows around Arosa.
There are also great natural sights to see, such as the reservoir shown above.
The Hotel Sorell is offering rooms in Arosa from CHF 90 per person/night for the summer period, 14 Jun - 28 […]
