Even though it was so long ago, my memories of that trip to Sils Maria remain sharp and vivid. We experienced so much, collected unforgettable moments, and truly immersed ourselves in the beauty of the mountains and nature.

These moments stay with you forever!

It all began with my first days on a snowboard, carving my way down the slopes.

Then came the relaxing evenings at the golden Hotel Waldhaus, with the soft sound of the piano player and the presence of charming Swiss women—a rare taste of luxury for us teenagers.

And, of course, the legendary mishap on the smallest island of Lake Sils—canoe drifting away, raft sinking, nearly freezing at +2°C in the water, and in the end, half-naked but rescued!

When will I see you again, wild Sils?!
