It is beautiful to be back again in Saas-Fee in Valais Switzerland.

There are many attractions that you can enjoy your stay in Saas-fee visiting the one of the highest peaks and looking the huge glaciers and also winter sports for skier, snow borders and snow sledging.

Remembering happenings past few years during summer time my husband and I just having fun in the village riding the Feeblitz (sledge track) and roam around the village therefore if I have chance to visit again in Saas-fee I wanted to stay more longer in this beautiful village and enjoy the time. What I wanted to visit in this place is to visit in the huge Ice cave at about 3 300 meters elevation and ride the metro alpine that is the highest underground funicular in the world. I am looking forward to visit again in there....

Bears In Bern


If you’re planning to visit in Bern the capital city of Switzerland visit Baerengraben (Bärengraben) where you can find the brown bears. This is another spot in Bern in Baerengraben. Bear is symbolizes of the city. The legend was the duke named the city and killed the bear here. I don’t know if this is true story but people mostly saying this story.

Coming soon bears pit have a new park. Nowadays they’re building the new park for bear pits and for human. This could very exciting I am sure this is also the one most attractive in the city of Bern this will be open on October 2009. They’re building down to the banks of Aare river now as I’ve seen last week (October 19) so this is great for bear pits, with friendly nature and with beautiful landscape, bears can swim and play in the big area.

The Alps central of Switzerland, Titlis, Pilatus, the peaks of Bernese Oberland Alps, the lakes and top mountains Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, Jura mount all can be seen on clearly day from Rothorn.

To reach the Rothorn mount we rode the oldest steam cog railway, it was almost 1 hour up to mount Rothorn riding this kind of cog railway but it was fun, thrill ride and great experienced riding cog railway climbed to the Rothorn mount (2244m) with hissing, puffing, huffing since 1892. Offers lots of hiking trails. The 1,678 meters of altitude differential and 25% gradient without getting short of breath! Six tunnels and and two galleries make for a thrilling change during the ride.
