After having conquered the German Alps and honing hiking skills, it was time to move on to Switzerland. The group left early for a 6 hour drive to Villars, Switzerland. They settled into the sports wagon for a long drive. Joyce got them to Switzerland and then took a deserved nap in the back while Jerry finished the drive.
The last leg was the drive to Villars. Here is an interesting fact: Villars-sur-Ollon is the home of the once well known Ollon–Villars hillclimb. Racing drivers from all over the world would come to participate in this internationally renowned event. Starting in the small town of Ollon, at the base of the mountain, and covering 8 km of mountain road, arriving at the top of the mountain, in Villars. The event was popular in the fifties and early sixties, before laws were passed banning motor racing in Switzerland. Here is another interesting fact: Debbie is a big chicken and kept her eyes covered for most of the drive up the mountain. They are lucky that she did not scream at each curve. It was somewhat embarrassing for the other 3 when she got out and kissed the ground.
Since arriving in Switzerland, the group has learned several facts that they would like to share.
- A Swiss motorway vignette is required to use the national motorways. It’s a sticker you need to apply on the inside of the windshield of your car. Austria and Switzerland require one. Germany does not require but they charge for toilets. (I just added that last part).
- Switzerland really cares about those vignettes. The police stands at the border checking cars and there is a big fine. Joyce took care of it and got stickers for all the countries. The rest of the group were clueless and would have ended up in the slammer.
- Ollon-Villars has two of the top 5 most expensive boarding schools in the world. Both over $100,000 a year. You know that Les Cheap girls are in the wrong place.
- It cost $60.00 to ride the Glacier 3000 to the glacier one time.
- A hamburger costs $20.00 although we have seen $49 on at a remote location.
- Switzerland is part of the EU.
- Switzerland uses the Swiss Frank not Euros. Exchange rate is about 1 to 1 for US
- Switzerland has 4 official languages – German, French, Italian and Romansh. Debbie at least was shocked that everyone in Villars spoke French.
- Switzerland has lots of curvy roads that go up and down causing Debbie to put on pretend brakes
- Cows really do wear cowbells
- Lake Geneva is really big. It is 45 miles long.
- The hiking signs are not very good and people can get lost.

Nice digs!
How did Joyce know about the stickers? I’ve never heard of such thing.
First Joyce knows everything. I think that she asked about driving in Switzerland on Trip Adviser and got the information.
