Have you ever dreamed of a weekend getaway that combines breathtaking natural beauty, strenuous trekking, and memorable encounters with fellow adventurers? Look no further than Sankt Moritz, the renowned Swiss alpine destination that offers all this and more. In this article, we'll take you on a journey through an unforgettable weekend of intensive trekking, culminating in an unforgettable night's stay at Lodge Chamanna Georgy in Pontresina.
The Long and Scenic Trek Begins
Our adventure began with a brisk four-hour trek to reach the first chalet, where we could catch our breath, enjoy a well-deserved meal, and take in the stunning views. Located at an elevation of 2000 meters, this chalet served as the perfect starting point for our journey.
The trail itself was challenging, with steep ascents and descents that tested our stamina. But with every step, the extraordinary landscape of Sankt Moritz unfolded before us. The azure lakes, the lush valleys, and the majestic mountains towering overhead painted a picture of unrivaled natural splendor.
Pushing Onward to Chamanna Georgy
After recharging at the first chalet, we set our sights on the ultimate prize: Lodge Chamanna Georgy. Perched at a lofty altitude of 3,110 meters, it was no easy feat to reach our destination. The path grew steeper and more rugged, but the promise of the incredible views from the top kept us motivated.
The closer we came to Lodge Chamanna Georgy, the more our anticipation grew. And then, finally, we reached our goal.
Sunset Splendor and Unforgettable Companionship
The moment we arrived at Lodge Chamanna Georgy, we knew the effort was more than worthwhile. The view from this high vantage point was nothing short of extraordinary. Sankt Moritz Lake glistened below us, reflecting the soft, rosy hues of the setting sun. The feeling of being on top of the world was simply surreal.
As night fell and the temperatures dropped, we found warmth and camaraderie inside the lodge. Our group of five friends had a room to ourselves, making for an intimate and cozy stay. We also had the chance to meet fellow travelers from different corners of the world, including Germany and Switzerland. Conversations flowed, stories were shared, and lasting connections were forged under the starlit sky.
An Experience to Remember
Our weekend getaway to Sankt Moritz, intensive trekking, and night at Lodge Chamanna Georgy was an adventure of a lifetime. The physical exertion was rewarded with spectacular natural beauty, an incredible sunset, and the warmth of newfound friendships. We left with our hearts and spirits rejuvenated, grateful for the opportunity to explore such a breathtaking part of the world.
Teddy Shoes
The idea for the new faux teddy shoes was born during my visit to Sankt Moritz last winter my friend Lulu threw a weekend party after us girls went through many breakups.
While there, I was wearing velvet slippers, but I yearned for footwear that truly captured the cozy vibes of the region and kept my feet warm, especially after a day on the slopes.
Over hot chocolate, I said 'I'm going to create teddy shoes next seaon.' And now, here they are!
