Diemtigtal Valley, Switzerland - By Ruby

Yesterday, we all decided to go up a mountain in the Diemtigtal Valley where we are staying for a week.

To get there, we had to ride a chair lift. The mountain is usally used for Skiing in winter, but right now is is more popular for mountain biking which was what most people were doing. We, however, decided to ride down the mountain on these interesting skooters. They looked as if they were half bike and half scooter! They were really fun to use though, and you hardly had to do anything!

Just hold the brake and steer most of the time!

Since we were on a mountain, there were amazing views of the towns and of the neighbouring mountains. We also scooter/biked along a rushing river, the water was very clear and there were lots of bridges over it that we had to cross. We were following a path called Trotti which you can also walk along. We ended up out of the mountain path and back at the chair lift when we finshed. After our biking we wanted to go back up one more time, because the views were so amazing from there! Most people who were there were very muddy because they were mountain biking. They were covered head to toe in mud!
