260530 - Visit to Nendaz

 On this day, we made a trip to Nendaz to spend about 2 nights. On our way, we made lots of stops to some beautiful scenes. We went to the the cheese factory in Gruyere and say how the cheese are preserved. (Link to read more: Gruyère Traditions | Restaurant and master cheesemaker in Gruyère). From there we went through Montreux just by Lake Geneva. the scene there was so beautiful, PP and I walked a little by the lake and later continued our journey. On the end part of Lake Geneva in Montreux, we say the only castle that is built on a lake which is called Musée Fort de Chillon (Link to read more: Home - Fort de Chillon).

On our way from Montreux, we saw the city called Ardon where the major crops grown there is only grapes which will be used for wine production. The place were full of grapes (up the mountain and below), it was beautiful. We even went to one of the shops to try the wine but we got there at about 14 minutes after they closed. We planned to do that when returning back to Arisdorf. From there we drove to the city of SION and it was beautiful. We saw the castle they had there from outside and also drove through the city (Link to read more: Castles - Sion Tourisme - Le site officiel). I walked through one street and it was full of people just having fun. From there, we drove up the mountain to Nendaz. Nendaz is about 1,400 meters high above sea level and the top of the mountain (Mont-Fort) is about 3,330 meters above sea level. (Link to read more about Mont-Fort: Mont-Fort | Nendaz Switzerland). When we arrived, PP prepared a nice dinner and it was delicious.
