Die Kompanen

A compass shows the way

The compass proved to be a very faithful companion to the Kompanen on their journey. The four friends started in Burgdorf and spent a regal night at Burgdorf Castle. This was followed by a trip to Lausanne and Crans-Montana. The journey continued to Ticino. The lads were always in high spirits with a compass in one hand. After enjoying fantastic bathing weather in southern Switzerland, they had to put on their rain jackets in Graubünden. At the end of the trip, the four had to prove how spontaneous they could be.

The journey

City, Country, Bisses

The compass rose from the capital to the west. Then on to the countryside to the Valais bisses. Find out what the Kompanen experienced in the first part of their trip.

From the pal trees to mountains to water

Continuing along the compass rose from southern Switzerland to the Grisons mountains in the east and on to the Rhine in the north. The second part of the journey presented the companies with one or two challenges. How they mastered them, you can read in this article.
