The Great Outdoors: Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
There is nothing more beautiful than feeling a fresh breeze while walking in the forest, hiking in the beautiful Swiss Alps or strolling along the lakes in Switzerland. The great outdoors in Switzerland can not only be enjoyed in spring and summer but during the whole year round. I particularly love to go hiking or biking and to observe a starry night with my family among other outdoor activities. So when we decided to do an issue on this topic, we decided too, to bring you our passion for the beautiful country we live in and to show you fun activities to do with your family and friends. So please, go ahead and read and enjoy all the articles and ideas we are bringing you with love.
Happy reading!
