„If you hear the name Montreux, you’ll probably think of the song “Smoke on the Water” from Deep Purple from 1972 and surely the city at Lake Geneva is forever connected with that legendary Jazz festival, which takes place here every year in July. This year its going to be the 56^th time that it’s happening. There is so much to experience in these two weeks. Check it out. My recommended place to stay overnight is located in the next town Vevey. It’s the sensational Grand Hotel Du Lac Vevey.„

„Basel is a city with exciting contrasts of lively tradition and cosmopolitan
ambiance located at the river Rhein and close to Germany and France. It’s famous for the world biggest fair of contemporary art which takes place yearly on a weekend in June. Apart from this event, Basel offers more than 40 art museums and art gallaries. I am fascinated from the diversified museum Fondation Beyeler, just 15 min drive outside the city center. Always an excellent choice to stay overnight is the traditional Hotel Le Trois Rois, which offers one of the best restaurants in the world.„

„St. Moritz, is more than a town in the Upper Engadin in Switzerland. It was the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism and has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Guests from all over the world appreciate the modern Alpine lifestyle, characterized by top-class restaurants that can satisfy gourmet demands even by the side of the slopes, hotels that set standards in every category, and events of international caliber. I sometimes come here for skiing or the Oltimer @ Passione Engadina, where they have several different classic cars ralleys. It’s always great to stay at Hotel Kulm, a luxury hotel with a remarkable history.„
