Our next day was our day trip to the Swiss Alps. It was by far the longest day in terms of traveling – we were going to be on the train for more than 5 hours for the entire journey. I was a little weary about scheduling everything, as I wasn’t sure if we would have enough time to do all the activities I had planned (I was still a bit scarred by my Hallstatt day trip where I didn’t leave enough…
After a somewhat uneventful first day in Zurich, we were ready to get out of the city and head over to St. Gallen. We woke up at 7am, had a quick breakfast in the hotel lobby, then headed off to Zurich HB, where we would be taking the train over to St. Gallen, which was an hour away.

You’re coming off the highs of the holidays right back to the dead of winter. However, there’s probably never an ideal time to start a cycle, so you just…
