Visit Switzerland

Hiking Switzerland on the Jura Crest Trail: two travellers, one clock, 38 hours to hike two stages. João and Marta gave themselves one rule: start at sunrise on the Chasseral ridge and reach the finish before the sun goes down the next day. Simple, until it is closed cafés on a Sunday, a wrong turn nobody wants to take the blame for, a storm scare, strangers who cook for you when everything is shut, an unreasonable amount of cheese, and one very good idea involving a lake. This is the side of Switzerland most people walk straight past. No crowds and no postcards, just the Jura ridge, the three lakes down below, and a trail that keeps climbing long after your legs have decided it should be going down. 📍 This trip took place in the Jura @Jura3Lacs – explore it here: https://www.j3l.ch/ Day 1: Chasseral to La Vue des Alpes, around 20 kilometres. Day 2: up over Tête de Ran and along the Jura backbone toward Noiraigue, around 22 kilometres, finished with a swim in Lake Neuchâtel.

Guided by curiosity, slow travel and a deep respect for local communities, they meet the people who shape each place and discover how landscape, culture and everyday life are connected. They may not always know what they are doing, but their honesty, humour and determination make every challenge part of the adventure. ▶️ Watch more of Marta & João: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIH4uCaoFv1g Produced by Dope Kids Club Creative Direction and Film: @kid_mika 🎬 Liked this video?

In the heart of the Valais mountains, brisolée is a traditional meal enjoyed as the weather gets colder. On the menu: roasted chestnuts served with local specialties such as dried meat, alpine cheese and seasonal fruits. A delicious and convivial meal that the people of Valais might just have been keeping a secret in their valley. 🤫🌰
Fondue and raclette aren’t the only things to enjoy in autumn! 🍂
