The Switzerland Traveler

I’d completely forgotten about this little ski resort until I came across this little gem. It’s located down near Brienz/Meiringen, and takes about 90 mins to get there from Zürich.

It appears that everybody wants to combine snow and animals this year, and we haven’t even got to horse racing on the lake yet!

The Reindeer Trek is organised by the Restaurant Erzegg, and the trip starts at 10 am each morning.

It’s not a sleigh ride though,  you’ll be given snow shoes and have to walk alongside, the destination being a small hut where lunch is cooked over an open fire.

I think the idea is that the lunch gives you the strength to walk back. And naturally, there’ll be a warming drink awaiting you at the end.

The scenery round Melchsee is beautiful, and walking the the trees must be an amazing experience.
