From 29-31 May we left our robot projects for an excursion into the Alps. The morning of the first day was spent in travel from Winterthur to Chur (pronounced `koor´), a town established by the Romans in the first few centuries AD. After touring Chur, we moved on to take a meal in the Viamala Gorge and then to a town in the valley below Wergenstein to tour a cheese factory. The next day, we went hiking up to a mountain lake above Wergenstein. We ate lunch surrounded by a sweeping view of the valley below. Following lunch, a portion of the group travelled the rest of the way up the mountain ridge.
