Back in April when my parents were here we visited the mountain Säntis, I drove there and it was not a too long of a drive.
Säntis is 2,509m above sea level and is the highest mountain in the northeastern part of Switzerland. When it is a clear day you can see into 6 countries Switzerland, Germany, France, Liechtenstein, Italy and Austria.
It wasn`t a totally clear day, but we were happy with the views we saw and right at the top was a little chilly as you can imagine. We had our lunch in one of the restaurants and made our way back down. It is short trip up and down.
Back down again we decided to go on a circular walk which took around 1 hour. There were plans still covered in snow and slippy to say the least, but we made without any incidents! We saw lots of lovely spring flowers and the sun came out for the rest of our walk. Once we finished our walk we had the obligatory coffee and cake.
The prices for the cable car are actually not as expensive as for other Swiss mountains. Adults without half-price card, it is only 45ch both ways. For kids and adults with the half-price card is it 22.50ch. I have a junior card for Alessio so he got for free which was even better!
Summer holidays have started for both myself and Alessio, and tonight we fly to Singapore and then on to Auckland! We are both really looking forward to this trip!!
Happy holidays!
