Far back in the Vals Valley, a side valley in Surselva, at an altitude of 1,250 meters lies the idyllic mountain village of Vals. Many people visit this Grisons (Graubünden) village because of the mythic Vals Thermal Bath by Swiss Architect Peter Zumthor. In addition, the region around Vals is ideal, multifaceted hiking country. For instance, take a hike with us along the ridiculously spectacular panorama trail from Gadastatt to the Zervreil Reservoir!
Justine Tyerman surprises herself with her daring exploits in Morocco… I travelled undercover in Morocco. Being a bit of a coward, I was a little concerned about developments in North Africa and the Middle East. And just to make me feel even more anxious about my forthcoming most adventurous trip to date, my well-travelled boss’s parting words to me were “never identify yourself as a journalist in the part of that world”.
Justine Tyerman’s tramping boots (TBs) think they are going to Hollywood… but she has other ideas.
Sylt. Legendary celeb island playground. Endless sand and wicker beach chairs. Gourmet restaurants at every turn. 360 degree wind and weather.
Sylt, the largest North Frisian island, is known as the “Queen of the North Sea.” After our recent brief stay, we definitely know why…

I knew from our trip preparations that there are grey herons in the Maldives. But little did I know how much effort it would take to find and photograph them…
Roberto Arganese, director of marketing and sales for the Gili Lankanfushi Resort, having lived for nine years on this Maldives dream island, in a few weeks will leave paradise for his new European base from where he will resume enticing tourists to “his” luxury resort.
The exclusive Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa is located in the northern Haa Alifu Atoll, on the sickle-shaped private island of Dhonakulhi with heavily overgrown, lush vegetation and a breathtaking house reef! We had to choose between a beachside and water villa…
The tramping boots (TBs) were a little bewildered at spending January in the fierce cold of a Northern Hemisphere winter. I caught them looking around for their usual tramping ground of golden tussock in a sun-scorched Central Otago, New Zealand summer, far from the silver white snow-scape of the French Alps winter.
By Railtour’s invitation, we rode the rails in the world’s most famous train… and what a thrill it was!
