Impossible not to run in Switzerland

It is impossible not to run in #Switzerland, given the fantastic outdoors and the beautiful weather. Like other Swiss, I too have taken up running, though I am still a long way from achieving optimum fitness levels. I have, however, chalked out my regular running map in the neighbourhood of Saint Legier, where I live. Take a look

Sunday afternoon at Saint Saphorin

Saint-Saphorin is a wine-growing village located in the municipality of Lavaux, in the canton of Vaud. The beautiful fortified village is sandwiched between the Alps and Lake Geneva on one side and the terraced vineyards of Lavaux that have been classified as UNESCO world heritage site.

I spent a sunny Sunday afternoon recently roaming about the cobbled lanes of the village, soaking in the sun and admiring the simple, well-preserved and tastefully kept homes of vintners. Unfortunately, I could not taste any of the locally produced wines due to Covid restrictions. #switzerland

Hike in the Alpine meadows

Alpine meadows that reminded me of India

The hike from Lally to Les Pléiades, high above Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, reminded me of Himachal, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya in north east India where I grew up, and Kashmir that I have travelled with my parents and later for work. #switzerland #traveldestination
