Last Day

So today is my last day. Claudia has already left this morning and she had a long trip back home. The weather here was wonderful and we actually wanted to go skiing but little Beppi preferred to take out his sleigh.View to the lake of Silvaplana towards Sils Maria and MalojaBeppi and Auntie Barbara

I must admit it was really quite exhausting - good workout to walk up and down the hill for about 30 times.

Happy New Year

Hi Folks! So we wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year. Let’s hope that it’s getting better than predicted by the experts and politicians.

Fex Valley

Nietzsche house in Sils Maria. He wrote his famous book "Also sprach Zarathustra" here.
In the afternoon of New Years eve we went to the amazing village of Solgio. Afterwards we took a little walk on the lake of Silvaplana. We had a very cozy and quiet new years eve with a fantastic cheese fondue.

It started to snow in the late afternoon and didn´t stop till this morning. Then the sun came out and there wasn´t a cloud in the sky. So we took a long walk to the Fex Valley that is next to the beautiful village of Sils Maria.
Some impressions of Solgio, it is close to the Italian border in Chiavenna

People still use this to wash their clothes


Goats on our way to Solgio. They didn´t move so I had to get out of the car to chase them away.

So that is it for today. I will post some more pictures in the next few days.

Helicopter Flight

Here are some impressions of Claudia’s helicopter ride. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t that sunny this day.

Happy Holidays

Hi folks, so here I am back again in Surlej a little village in the Upper Engadine Valley. I arrived on the 20 th of December. We have loads of snow here and the weather is just perfect.

Wonderful sunsets in the evening
The whole family spent christmas together. My little nephew Beppi (Sebastian) was very excited and he got a lot of presents.


A few days later my friend Claudia arrived. Unfortunately I had a bad cold but after two days it got better and I have recovered.

We took a long walk to the Rosegg valley on her first day. We saw some game and we were feeding the little birds.
Yesterday Claudia took a helicopter ride for about half an hour around the whole valley. She said it was amazing.


We will post some more pictures of Claudia that she made from the helicopter in the next few days.

Till then, we wish you all a very happy NEW YEAR !
