Dear readers,

As the warm breeze caresses our faces and the vibrant colours of nature come to life, we find ourselves immersed in the enchanting season of summer. With longer days and the promise of leisurely moments, there’s no better time to indulge in the pleasures of reading poolside whilst sipping a refreshing drink.

For many of us, the mere thought of summer evokes images of relaxation, reclining in a comfortable chair with a captivating book in hand. There’s something magical about turning the pages and immersing ourselves in the imaginative worlds created by talented authors. Whether it’s a thrilling mystery, a steamy romance, or a thought-provoking non-fiction piece, whatever tickles your fancy, just be sure not to spill your drink when the plot twists!

But summer is not just about literary adventures; it’s also a season of active pursuits and exhilarating outdoor activities. Looking ahead, we can anticipate the excitement of upcoming sporting events that bring our community together and showcase the impressive physical abilities displayed by the athletes.

Two such events that grace our calendars in July are the Swatch beachvolley and Gstaad Open tennis. These sports embody the spirit of summer as athletes battle it out on sandy courts, capturing our attention with their skill, agility, and unwavering determination.

So, dive headfirst into the summer season, and let us revel in the joys of reading and appreciate the impressive performances of athletes.

Books will continue to transport us to new realms of imagination, and our passion for sports will bind us together in shared excitement. Let’s make this summer a celebration of our ability to dream, create, and connect with friends once more here in the beautiful Saanenland.

Wishing you a summer filled with unforgettable moments and endless inspiration.

Warmest regards,

Jeanette Wichmann, Editor in Chief
