Switzerland

In 2003 I walked across Switzerland end-to-end, from the border with Lichtenstein to the border at Lac Leman. We followed the Alpine Pass Route (now the Swiss part of the Via Alpina) with trails and signposts all of the way. Took a bit over 3 weeks.

We started off by carrying the tent and camping, but about a third of the way through we posted it back home and stayed in guesthouses.

There’s a bit of up and down on this trip, what with it being in the Alps, but it’s not too bad and you’re never too far away from a place to shelter or have a bite to eat. By the end of the trip I was addicted to macaroni cheese with apple sauce.

I have included a few of my rather fuzzy pics. You can find much better on the internet.
