Profile Information
- What is your favorite place in Europe so far?
- Switzerland
- Where would you most like to go next?
- Alsace and Lorraine
- Tell us about one of your favorite places to stay on an Untour. Do you have a favorite host? Apartment? Village?
- We find that Meiringen meets all our needs and we return year after year. Our favorite apartment is Steinli although we have enjoyed others. The on site caretaker is a doll and the absentee landlords have become our friends. I can look out the living room window and see Reichenbach falls and the tip of the Wetterhorn. If it is glowing pink it will be a good day for the mountains
- Do you have any special interests or hobbies that you follow when you travel?
- Hiking is what we do
- When you upload photos to Untours Cafe, you are also giving Untours permission to use the photos in their promotional material (with credit to you)
- It didn't start off funny as there were fierce floods two years ago which knocked off train and bus service to Meiringen. The road to our aparetment was blocked so we had to slog though ankle deep mud and climb over barricades to get to the station. Untours managed a bus to get us to where trains were running (Spietz). What turned out to be funny was that because of delays we barely made the plane and had no time to clean up or change clothes. Two muddier people have never been seen on Swiss Air.
- Which Untours have you already done?
- Swiss Heartland (over and over) and Provence
- What advice would you give others considering an Untour?
- Go for it
- What is your favorite Untour? (so far)

Reed Organs
If reed (parlor or pump) organs don't interest you, you can stop reading now. But if they do, or you enjoy finding the biggest or best of anything, read on. We stumbled upon a wonferful bed and breakfast in Truro, Nova Scotia. The warm welcome, the comfortable rooms, the lovely garden and sun room along with a gourmet breakfast are enough to draw one, but the special attraction is the collection of reed organs the owner has assembled. There are over 100 of them, all in working order (except…

A day trip to Gruyere
On the very last day of our recent two-weeker in Meiringen, our gear was all packed and the weather didn’t appear conducive to hiking, so we took the long train ride to Gruyere. You can start at Meiringen on the 8:39 local to Interlaken Ost. From there the connections at Zweisimmen and Montbovan are snappy so the trip passes quickly. The ride takes you from the steep,austere bluffs of our Hasli valley past Lake Thun…

Would love to hear some more stories, so if you're up to it, add some blog posts!
I just sent you a friend request....anyone who climbs through mud in Switzerland has a Untourist spirit. I would have been proud to sit next to you.
Meiringen!
Hi, Jerry and Sandy. It's nice to hear from you. Unfortunately, we'll arrive in CH on 8/28, so we'll miss you. We hope to see you again soon.
Brian and Jan
