The Tuesday Trekkers in Sur En, Switzerland
The Tuesday Trekkers had an opportunity to visit with Tina and Peter Schiess in Sur En, Switzerland, to explore their place and hiking grounds. Our “base camp” was Gasthof Val d’Uina in Sur En. It was a fun-filled week with hiking and sight-seeing. Below is a summary of all the activities while at Sur En. After that, some went on to ride the “Glacier Express and Bernina Express (UNESCO World Heritage Site)”. Others did some more hiking near Pontresina.
