New day in the Alps, 21 November 2009

Days' end in the Alps, Friday 20 November

Lake Geneva region, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - It’s the in-between season in Switzerland, too early for snow for the skiers, too late for warm pools and barbecues for the summer folk.

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, consider a hike. Better yet, take a hike in the vineyards, anywhere from Geneva to Vaud to Valais. The vineyards are etched with small paths, open to the public, which is one of Switzerland’s great assets and the reason the Swiss are some of the world’s best walkers.

The weather has been exceptionally mild, with few strong winds, and the autumn colours are still lingering. You can hike up to 1,000 metres among the vines without more than a sweater or light jacket this weekend.

Weather forecast: highs of 12C in the Lake Geneva region to 16C in Valais, with mostly sunny skies, dry, some cloud cover (MeteoSwiss)
