Misty Gryon
Join me in Gryon, a tiny village in the French-speaking part of the Swiss Alps that is — just as my Switzerland guidebook says — perpetually shrouded in mist (and a fine example of the Swiss charms that await the driver who ventures off the main highways).

Rock Climbing and Adventures in Interlaken Switzerland
Chances are if you're visiting Switzerland for any length of time you'll end up with at least one adventure. On this day it was my turn to try Rock Climbing and River Swimming. I love action packed holidays and if you do as well get out that list and put in Interlaken because that's what they do here, lots of it!

A Gimmelwald Stroll
Enjoy a quiet moment with me in Gimmelwald, a little traffic-free village in Switzerland surrounded by alpine splendor. It was the evening magic hour, and I was just poking around the village, in perfect peace. The sun sets early when the sky is squeezed between mountains.
BTW, it was a handful of discoveries like Gimmelwald back in the late 1970s that I called my “Back Doors.” And these gems were the special destinations upon which I established my business, which back then was called “Europe Through the Back Door.” I’ve noticed that I’m kind of sentimental when I visit now — and when they still tickle my wanderlust, it makes me unspeakably happy.
