Kandersteg. This was a magical village of gingerbread houses and fairytales decorated for Christmas, nestled in Alpine landscape. We spent four days here, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, while relaxing in the comforts of Toni’s Alpine Loft. This was a dream itself!!!

My burger was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!…
