While building my new website, I hadn't updated my blog for a while, but a lot has happened, especially this summer when we traveled to Europe again during the hurricane season. We visited some beautiful spots that I'd love to share pictures from.
One of the highlights was Switzerland. Our road trip began in the Czech Republic, continued through Austria—specifically Innsbruck—and took us over mountain passes into Switzerland, offering unforgettable views.
We spent time in the Jungfrau region, particularly in Wengen, a car-free village perched at 1,274 meters (4,180 feet) with some of the most breathtaking vistas. From there, we made our way to the Top of Europe—Jungfraujoch, which sits at an impressive 3,454 meters (11,332 feet). Even on a hot summer day, we walked on the snow, a surreal experience! The cogwheel railway that cuts through the glacier and ascends to the peak was an unforgettable adventure.
From Switzerland, we continued our journey over the Swiss-Italian pass, crossing into Italy. Our destination was Lago di Garda, a cycling paradise surrounded by the vast Lake Garda, which is nestled between mountains. Lake Garda itself is situated at an elevation of about 65 meters (213 feet) above sea level, and we drove through numerous tunnels, discovering the rich history of each place along the way.
When hunger struck, we sought out the most authentic local cuisine, immersing ourselves in the flavors of each region.
Here are a few pictures I captured along the way—moments when I couldn't resist taking my camera out.
Even though I grew up skiing and hiking in some incredible mountain ranges the awe I felt during this trip was something else.
