Got back last night from a week of yoga and skiing in Switzerland! That’s right yoga AND skiing. It was a yoga retreat in Wengen. And what a treat it was!

Wengen is a quiet little alpine village in the middle of a world heritage site. The scenery is breathtaking. I wish my photo taking could do it justice. These two shots were taken from our balcony, but represent only a fraction of the panorama.

The whole week was organised by a company called Yoga Traveller which is run by a brilliant young Irish couple – Michelle and Michael. These two are brimming with joie de vivre- scuba diving, snowboarding, yoga-ing and partying their way around the world. I recommend any holiday they organise. Check them out –

Doing yoga twice a day for a week really sorts you out. Skiing, drinking and eating mountains of cheese keep you from floating away.

The thing I love about Switzerland is the way the houses are processed from the pine trees that surround them. Pointy mountains, with pointy pine trees and pointy pine houses. You get my point.
