Säntis Trip

After a month of daily raining and pale light the entire day, today we were lucky enough to have a sunny day with a clear, blue, autumn sky. Needless to say that I had to take advantage of this unique day I would say and go on a trip. And what can be a more appropriate activity than climbing up the Säntis on such a clear weather?

For the ones not yet initiated in the Appenzeller Region, Säntis is the highest peak in Eastern Switzerland, with an altitude of about 2500 m. As you can see from the pictures bellow, it has worth the effort to get there because the view was absolutely fantastic and left me breathless.

The Säntis peak is situated in the Region Appenzeller, which offers one of the most authentic Swiss landscapes and where you can still see how the inhabitants live according to the traditional, local customs.
Appenzeller is the land of the mauve Milka cows, of snow-white sheep, of crystal blue lakes and fresh green grass.

Enjoy the pictures!
