One of the last things my client asked me on a call yesterday was - what should I pack? (after all, I have lived here for 23 years :> in case you did not know)

I get asked this a lot both on my consulting calls and on Facebook. So, I have actually written a detailed post about it which you can read via the button below.

For those of you short on time, I have also created a PDF Version to use for planning your trip. And it is FREE to download here. ๐ŸŽ

Consider it my gift ๐ŸŽ to you!

---- ๐Ÿ˜ฒ SNOW THIS WEEK ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ----

One of the reasons packing was on my mind was that it was suddenly no longer boiling hot this week, but snowing โ„๏ธ in the mountains instead.

This is what it looks like on Mannlichen! It's below freezing there right now.

So, you need to be prepared! Which might also include grabbing.....

โ€‹CUSTOMIZABLE RAIL TOURSโ€‹

Did you know I work with Switzerland's premiere rail tour organisers?

And they are offering 5% off with code AFFSWITZERLANDING on all their rail packages - which you can customize yourself on their website!

I went traveling with these guys in July and they have been living and breathing Switzerland for decades!

And with it being SO HARD to get a spot on many of the top panoramic trains (Glacier, Bernina) it pays to work with an agency that has spots already locked in :>
