Yesterday we left in the morning to go to Switzerland, we headed for Arosa in Graub\u00fcnden. Our plans were to go to the B\u00e4renland, a rescue station for brown bears. The last 45 minutes of our drive were so beautiful but also adventurous. We couldn\u2019t go fast because of the narrow streets and the constant switchbacks, which felt like they would never end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the whole trip there was totally worth it cause we arrived at a beautiful lake. We parked by the train station and took the gondola up the mountain. We were pretty hungry so we decided to first have some lunch at the restaurant. After that we went to the visitor platform to look at one of the bears (there was only one outside, the rest was sleeping)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to not take the gondola back down but instead to walk down the mountain. It is a perfect hike for smaller children. You have several options. Either you walk a loop trail to to next little village called Meran (they have an awesome cheese shop and caf\u00e9 there) or you can go straight to the squirrel path, were you can see lots of squirrels running around. That\u2019s what we did and as soon as we got back to our car we drove to the Sennerei Meran to get some coffee, ice cream and to buy local cheese there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the night we planned on staying with Mike\u2019s brother Joe and his wife Michelle in Chur. We are so grateful that we are able to stay with them for our time in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
