Creux du Van
A long weekend with a lot of stuff to do! Besides loads of schoolwork, my parents, a good friend and I went hiking to Creux du Van. We took an early train on Friday, first to Zürich to pick my friend up and then via Neuchâtel to Noiraigue. It's a really tiny but pretty village in the Jura, the mountains in the north of Switzerland.
There we started our hike, and we were not alone! Many others also walked up that mountain to see the spectacular view! It's a natural wonder, The Creux du Van is a natural rocky cirque. Many years ago it was created by natural water erosion from a local glacier and still looks magnificent!
I need to add that it was also the perfect place to take pictures with my drone! My friend also had a drone with him, and we filmed a lot. I've still got some editing to do, but I'm sure that the video will be awesome :D

A hike in the Swiss Alps
Swiss people, even if the weather isn't to good, love going on a hike in the mountains. And that's exactly what me and eleven of my classmates did from Monday until Wednesday.
All of us took the train in the morning over Olten (where we bought some stuff to eat) and over Luzern to Dallenwil. It's a small village in the middle of Switzerland from where we started our hike.
And yes, the weather wasn't too good.. I was literally hiking all the way up with my umbrella open and I think it was the best idea I had that day!
At the bottom of the mountain it was raining a lot but around the middle of our hike there was already snow. And that snow slowed us down a lot! In the end it took us about 6 hours to get all the way up through the deep snow until we reached the SAC-hut.
We were the only ones staying there and therefore we had the whole living room for ourselves. It was a really cozy place with a fireplace and we talked and played card games the whole evening.
I made some cards for a game called "werewolves", where there's a village with a couple of wolves in it and the wolves' objective is to eat all the normal citizens and well the citizens' objective is to get rid of the wolves; a very fun game for a large group!
The next day was very relaxing. We slept for a long time and then went out in the snow to have some fun :)
There was a woman passing by with two dogs and she made a stop at our hut. So we took the dogs for a little walk in the snow and me and my friend took some funny photos of them..
Later, again, we played card games and enjoyed our day up there.
On Wednesday we were already on our way back down to the village. And the weather was gorgeous! Not even one single cloud in the sky!! And I am sure that the walk down only took us half the time we had for walking up the mountain ^^
I can really recommend this hike onto the Brisen but check the weather forecast first..!
