Having breakfast while watching the mist rise from the peaks and the sun hit the valley was the best. But what about the journey there? It’s a few hundred kilometres from the UK so here’s how we managed driving to Switzerland with a child in tow.

With the situation changing so rapidly, it’s impossible for anyone to predict what travel will look like even in 2021 but we can ponder. Staycation, road trip or short-haul flight to a favoured destination? Or what about an activity holiday, villa trip or planning that bucket list destination?
