Bellinzona 2014
When I organized this day trip, I could not imagine that few years later I would have actually moved to Switzerland (although not to Bellinzona). As for many cities in this small country, Bellinzona is quite small, although it was made to become a Unesco site in 2000. It is mainly famous for its three castles: Montebello, Castelgrande, and Sasso Corbaro. If you pass by or you are visiting some nearby area, a stop here is worth it!
Lavaux 2021
This is for sure one of the best places in Switzerland for me. I finally managed to organize a weekend getaway in mid-September to explore this area and, more importantly, see the vineyards and drink the wine. I was based in Montreux and, from there, I took a train to Lutry. From there, a beautiful hike starts and continues for 11 km to St-Saphorin. Along the way, it is possible to try the wine from different producers. In my case, I chose Gaillard, mostly because of the view it is possible to enjoy from its place. At the end of the day, it is impossible not to be exhausted, but the amazing panorama really pays off!
Zermatt 2025
This is definitely the place to visit once in Switzerland. And yet, it took me many years to finally get the chance to admire the beautiful Matterhorn (or Cervino, in Italian). I spent a beautiful weekend with my boyfriend and got to see the peak fro different angles.
