09.21.2024 Monte Brè to Monte Boglia and stopped in Alpe Bolla



Train from Zurich to Lugano, up an old tram, hiked through town, then a no nonsense trek straight up to the peak.  We looped back down and found a spot to eat half way to the town.  Continued on our merry way to catch the bus, then train, to our next adventure in Milan.  Started off in Zurich, hike in Lugano, then Milan.  All in one day!



Whole bunch of pics to follow.























Me, Yvonne, Daniella, and Verna

9.21-22.2024 Milan

  Picture of Duomo.   Milan was vibrant, jam packed, surrounded by historical buildings, tons of shopping options and culinary delights.   We stayed at 21 House of Stories  https://21houseofstories.com/ .  Enjoyed free Asana yoga class in the am.  Wandered around until we found a restaurant that didn’t have a line up around the corner…with it being fashion week… Had an incredible dinner at iL Kaimano of stuffed zucchini flowers, fresh artichoke heart salad, mushroom pasta and also a tomato gnocchi.  Thankfully Yvonne and I shared everything otherwise I would have had to limit the dishes!  It was so delicious we went back next day for lunch.  Rinse and repeat the salads… We wandered around in the evening. Anything social was packed with the party spilling into the street. Gelato filled croissant and espresso… our breakfast of champions.

09.28-29, 2024 Switz Alps Hike

Must say this hike was quite the adventure!     https://www.chamannajenatsch.ch/#     We started off with fall weather.  Fresh, crisp, a little mix of cloud and a lot of sun.  The path at first was very wide.  It was a T2, considered an easy hike.  For the first couple of hours the trail was more like a pathway.  After that was tight and rocky.  Took us 4hr 45min up.  Next day, 4hr 5min down.  The sign below says 3hrs but it’s lying…unless you run it maybe! The trail does tighten up and the last 400 meters were steep. Doable, but definitely not in flip flops!  To make things interesting, the last hour or so the  snow was falling sideways across our faces.  Erasing the trail.   No sign of the hut either.  Then we noticed a flag at the peak where we headed.  Soooo relieved!!! Thankfully we made it in time before the white-out.  Safe and sound in the hut while the snow continued to fall.  I ...
