Weekend Trip #1: Leukerbad and area

For our first weekend we got an AirBnB apartment in Leukerbad. On the way we stopped at the Chateau de Chillon. This was the first time we visited inside. I must say it was quite impressive. There were a lot of witch hunts in Europe (I had no clue) and this was used as a prison for witches at the time. Additionally, Lord Byron wrote the poem "Prisoner of Chillon" there in 1816.

View from the top. The Swiss make the best bridges and tunnels.

Next day: Taking the train from Taesch to Zermatt

June lived in the baby bjorn for a few days those weeks. She was such a good sport and always a very happy baby.

In Zermatt

The Matterhorn


Everyone was able to take Gornergrat but June and me (she wasn't old enough to ascend). You take a train very high and have a good view of the alps, glaciers and Zermatt.

Beautiful little Zermatt from above
