One day we will show these pictures to our nephews and we will say: “Look how beautiful was Andermatt before Mr. Samih Sawiris was allowed to build there his goddamit golf club …”

Gotthard Oberalp Arena: the place to ski!

If this nice map doesn’t convince you, click on the post picture: it’s a spectacular view from the Cuolm Val, which, together with the Val-Val, is one of the funniest and most panoramic slopes in the Arena.

Italian is NOT a Swiss official language.

I can understand if on a Swiss restaurant menu they serve “ficaccia” instead of “focaccia” (focaccia is a typical Italian bread - ficaccia has something to do with sex …). I can understand if the announcements on Matterhorn-Gotthard trains are only in French, German and English. But, click on the post picture and read the signal: this is REALLY too much. This shield is in Sedrun.

Boycott Orascom and visit Andermatt, before it’s too late!!!

We had such a nice time in Andermatt (Canton Uri, CH) this Easter.The village is ancient and lovely. Andermatt ski resorts are amazing and well connected with other regions by the romantic Matterhorn-Gotthard train line (train tickets included in the skipass). The natural panorama offered by Swiss Alps is breath taking and Andermatt inhabitants are so friendly and warm that we felt at home since we arrived.

But, what we learned there left us terrified. The Egyptian (!) company Orascom Hotels and Development (”Building better towns” is their motto!) has some evil projects for the lovely town of Andermatt.
