Van Life in Switzerland: Is It Really That Stunning?

It’s Day 12 of our European Van Life trip and we are finally leaving the Swiss Alps behind and heading for the sunshine of Italy! After a stormy few days in Switzerland, we decided to take the scenic route across the mountains. We explore the world-famous Heidi Village (Heididorf), navigate some of the narrowest mountain passes we’ve ever driven in the van, and even take our home on a train to get through the Simplon Pass. Wait until you see the hidden parkup we found once we finally crossed the border into Italy the views are absolutely breathtaking! If you’re planning a van trip through Switzerland or Italy, we share our experience using the "Place to Bee" app for farm stays and how we managed the steep mountain elevations.
