Welcome to Wander We Go. I’m Alex.
I write about life in Zürich, travels throughout Europe, and musings on both.
Our itinerary was inspired by a few stages of the Alpine Passes long-distance trail (Stages 21-24). The entirety of this hike is within the Valais Alps, in the French region of Switzerland. It is five days of high-alpine hiking, with four nights in remote mountain huts, and some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Every day was somehow more impressive than the last. I don’t say this lightly, but: this might be one of the best multi-day hikes in Switzerland.
In the past five years, I’ve done a lot here in Switzerland. I’ve hiked more trails than I can count. I’ve watched the snowman explode during Sechseläuten, fully embraced nude sauna culture, cheered for the cows parading down the alp in their flower crowns, danced at Street Parade and Züri Fäscht (twice!), ran the Zürich half-marathon. But today, I thought it would be fun to recount a few things that, even after five years, I haven’t gotten around to yet.
Berlin, the vibrant capital of Germany, is a city that seamlessly blends history, culture, and modernity. With its fascinating past, diverse neighborhoods, and eclectic culinary scene, Berlin offers travelers a unique experience at every corner. Join us as we explore this dynamic city over a long weekend, indulging in delicious food, discovering hidden gems, and soaking up its rich history.
Colmar, a small village in the Alasce region of France, overflows with whimsy and charm at every turn. We spent the day eating and exploring, and had a particularly memorable lunch.
