Today we went on an adventurous hike in the Swiss mountains.
We took the traditional chair-lift up to Darlux, where our adventure started. The tour started with a challenging walk up the steep mountainside. On the top we were rewarded by a breath-taking view. From there on the walk was rather easy. We were surrounded by red leaved blueberry bushes. The landscape made us feel like autumn is approaching.
Later on the trail we met a herd of cows with calves heading down from the alp. We zigzagged throw the numerous animals and finally found our way to a rocky mountainside where we enjoyed our lunch with a beautiful view. From there we were able to spot our final destination, the village of Chants.
After eating we made our way down to Chants passing by several creeks with ice cold water. Once we stopped to create some land art. The result you can see on the picture below. After 3 ½ hours of hiking we arrived in Chants. It´s a charming village. In the Berggasthaus Piz Kesch we settled down and had a refreshing drink. The owner of the restaurant, an elderly friendly lady, told us about the wolf, which had killed two sheep just this morning. His future is unsure. After the lovely conversation with the lady we took the bus back to Bergun. We all arrived exhausted but healthy and satisfied at the Kurhaus.
As we mentioned before we made a land art.
We made the art out of stones, wood, flowers and cranberries. All these items are all something you can catch and see on the way to the mountains. These items symbolize the alps, nature and mountains.
We spent a nice week in Bergun. The group had a great time and we made precious connections. The international representation of students was an advantage for an interesting week. There were many inspiring conversations about art. We learned some much from each other and heard about different perspective about teaching and way of lives.
Hallo September
