Since my Dad turned the big 60, my parents wanted to go on an adventurous vacation to celebrate. They decided to travel the Haute Route in Switzerland, the classic traverse across the Swiss Alps. Their tour took them across the highest peak in Western Europe, Mont Blanc, to the famous Matterhorn. The strenuous route covered over 100 miles, crossed 11 passes, and took them to levels over 9,000 feet. They even saw 10 of 12 of the highest peaks in Europe.

They showed us hundreds of digital pictures of the beautiful meadows, glaciers, glistening lakes, and lush forests that they saw along the hiking route. They said the view was amazing throughout the hikes, not just at the top.

I was surprised that they were able to hike the trails, but they explained that their group was small and went at a moderate pace for everyone.

Although they had adventurous days, they said they were able to stay in chalet-style inns along the paths, with comfortable beds and food that tasted homemade. They gushed about the friendliness (and cleanliness) of the Swiss during their stay.

Their week long trip sounded so fun that I am scheduling one of my own. I am taking a trip for 12 days hiking the Swiss Alps. I’ll post an update on my experiences when I get back!
