As November rolls in, across the Bay Area the rain and fog of fall and winter seem to have come with it. On cool mornings like these, I like to bundle up with a warm cup of tea and enjoying the quieter pace the overcast weather brings with it.
Somewhere in the Swiss Alps is a hotel called Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchli. It’s tucked into the side of a mountain with a towering cliff above. When I first saw a picture of this unbelievable hotel, I thought surely it couldn’t be real. But a little research led me to more information about the retreat. Accessible only by a combination of cable car and hiking, the modest guest house has been operated by the same family for years. And while it looks like I just missed my chance to visit this year (they closed for the season on October 31), it looks like a dreamy spot to bundle up on a cool, overcast morning.

Those “Almen” are so common in the Alps. We have those Guest Houses/Restaurants a lot in Austria too. Especially in the rough valleys of Tyrol. Anyway, I love your Magazine and it’s so great to read about something wich is just around the corner!
I wish I could ever explain in english how much I enjoy reading anthologymag.COM!
