Postcard from Switzerland

Postcard from Switzerland

When you think summer vacation, you don’t usually think snow. But even though it’s not the average sun-drenched vacation, it’s still exhilarating to snowboard on Europe’s highest peak one morning in July and then enjoy an ice cream while watching paragliders land in picture-perfect conditions that afternoon. Interlaken, Switzerland is a haven for adventure lovers and snow bunnies year-round.

Jungfrauhoch, the highest point in Europe

There’s always snow on Jungfrauhoch: even in July!

While there were real working snow huskies, I was more enamoured with this puppy who came to play in the snow.

On my way down from Jungfrauhoch, I decided to take a break before the next train and enjoy an ice cream on a hillside.
