Christmas Markets in Switzerland

December 13, 2019January 23, 2020Gelatotravels

Christmastime can feel quite magical. Ever since we’ve moved to Europe we have really started to embrace the Christmas Markets. Each canton in Switzerland have different traditions and specialties they offer. From warm chestnuts to mulled-wine, the feeling of Christmas is in the air.

This train ride was seriously so STUNNING. While we were in #Pontresina we decided to take the Bernina Express over the Swiss Alps down to the famous circular viaduct in #Brusio. (Built in 1908) . The whole train ride was absolutely breathtaking and the perfect way to see so much of Switzerland 🇨🇭. .

We are still reminiscing about our weekend in Pontresina. A quaint village in the Engadin, just outside of St. Moritz. If you saw our stories, we enjoyed our weekend at the gorgeous @grandhotelkronenhof. We were spoiled by all the amenities the #kronenhofpontresina Hotel has to offer from spas, bowling, ice skating and more. We are so excited to have discovered this gem. . The hotel has their own private ice skating rink, and if you’re lucky, you may get it all to yourself, as our youngest did. . The area is surrounded by winter sports, from downhill skiing ,cross-country, and ice skating on frozen lakes. It’s a must for winter-sport lovers or just to getaway and enjoy the mountain air. . Next time you’re thinking of the perfect winter holiday @grandhotelkronenhof is the place to be. . #kronenhofpontresina #kronenhofmoments #grandkronenhof . . . . . . . . . #hosted #alps #mountains #wintertime #switzerland #snow #swissalps #spatime #matterhorngotthardbahn #gotthard_band #trains #snowdays #switzerland_vacations #familytravel #skivacation #inlovewithswitzerland #beautifulplaces #familyholiday #switzerland_pics #abroadlife #switzerlandwonderland #switzerland_hotels #switzerlandtourism #travelwithkids

This past weekend we enjoyed staying at the gorgeous @grandhotelkronenhof in a mountain village in the Engadin (Eastern Swiss Alps). It was breathtaking in every way. . We took the Bernina Express (the highest railway in the Alps) from Pontresina to Tirano, IT. The little red train travels over the Swiss Alps, next to a white (frozen) lake, and a glacier.... the views are spectacular. . Our hotel #grandhotelkronenhof helped us with the booking, as the seats must be booked in advance and often the window seats are sold out on this popular train journey. . First class has almost floor to ceiling windows. We booked first class to Tirano and second class coming back. The positive to second class is the windows open so you can take unobstructed views and stick your head out for a little {very cold} mountain air. . It’s easy to see why this train ride is one of the most famous in the world. . . . . #kronenhofpontresina #kronenhofmoments #hosted #switzerland #berninaexpress #pontresina #stmoritz #switzerland #switzerland_hotels #beautifuldestinations #switzerland_vacations #switzerland_pics #switzerland_bestpix #switzerlandvacations #swissalps #glacierexpress #travelfamily #bloggerlife #familytravel #beautifulplaces #nationalgeographictravel #travelphotography #traintravel #europetravel #swiss_views
