Our Days in the Sun! St JoHann, Switzerland!

When we were planning the trip, Travis said he wanted two nights in the Swiss Alps so he could ski. So I started looking for a place that would be close to Zurich. He picked Zurich because there are trains that go directly from Zurich to Paris. I found a small village called St JoAnn which had skiing which he could walk to from a little gasthaus I found to stay in, Gasthaus Schafli! The gasthaus was exactly as shown in the pictures online.

The building on the left with the cute little tower is the restaurant and the matching brown building on the right is the gasthaus!! It was so very nice! And Joseph is the son who runs it with his mom and dad and it has been in their family for 5 generations!
This is our room:

This is our view:

This is what the town looks like:


When we arrived it was too early to check in so we put our luggage in the hold section of the Gasthaus and went into the restaurant and had the BEST cheese fondue ever!!!
We then checked into our rooms and kicked back for awhile then we walked around town! The little shop there that sells skis and ski clothing sold Columbia Sportswear!
Pictures later showing dinner!

We are so enjoying this restful spot of fresh air and relaxing atmosphere! There is a small grocery store and a ski area and that is about it! Two stores that sell ski equipment but they are very small!
