Switzerland is the second country I've visited when i arrived in Europe. My visa allowed me to tour european union countries and switzerland. My husband and I stayed in his residence in Spain for a month then we headed to Switzerland to meet the rest of his family last June.
Switzerland is a beautiful country rich in culture. I want to make Gstaad as my first blog post since it's the first destination i had in suiza.
Gstaad is a charming and exclusive village surrounded by swiss alps. Houses are called chalets and are made of logs or weathered wood even their hotels and restaurants. It's endearing to see uniformity on their structures and most of balconies displays colorful flowers to complete the look.
We arrived summer and it mesmerized me to see how everything is green even the mountains, like how i see it on postcards. I was also lucky to get a glimpse of annual volleyball and tennis tournaments held exclusively in the village. By January, there will be hot air balloon event to be held at Chateau D' Oex, 15 minutes drive from gstaad.
Gstaad has so many tourist attractions during summer, there's whitewater rafting, hiking and biking. In winter, ski resort will open and it will be a very busy season for gstaad. I'm excited to experience my first winter here and i'll make a separate blog entry on how it goes.
If you want to be close to nature, relax and feel a real vacation with exclusivity, this is the place for you. No wonder celebrities and wealthy individuals came here once in a while. I'm just lucky and blessed to experience a swiss living for a moment.
