Having taken no 1 spot in the world wide environmental performance rankings, Switzerland may also lay claim to being home of the world’s greenest family.
Dario and Sabine Schworer together with their two children are at the half way point of an epic round the world journey on which they aim to cross seven seas and climb seven of the world’s highest mountains, travelling only by foot, bicycle and wind power.
The family are currently in Sydney, Australia on year 7 of a 14 year expedition in which they expect to sail 70’000 nautical miles, cycle 18’000 kilometres and climb a total of 400’000 meters. They hope the expedition will “prove that great achievements can be done in harmony with nature" and have taken the opportunity to share their message with more than 21,000 school children whilst visiting schools on their route. Their own Children, Salina and Andri, were born during the expedition and continue to travel alongside their parents.
The expedition, called Top to Top was started with a tiny budget of only $2,000, although Dario and Sabine have raised substantial funds along the way which have been donated to communities affected by climate change to provide school material, medicine and food.
Expedition Mountain Peaks:
- Mt. Blanc 4807m/15771ft, Europe
- Aconcagua 6959m/22831ft, South-America
- Denali (Mt. McKinley) 6198m/20335ft, North-America

“Their own children, Salina and Andri, were born during the expedition and continue to travel alongside their parents.” …crazy! They aren’t going to take the kids up Everest with them, are they?
Dear, Friend
Switzerland is one of the most mountainous countries of Europe. More than 70
percent of its area is covered by the Alps, in the central and southern regions, and
the Jura, in the northwest. The Swiss Alps are part of the largest mountain
system in Europe and are famous for their jagged peaks and steep-sided
valleys.Fantastic routes, breathtaking vistas: experiences that await the traveler
on the Glacier-Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt, across 291 bridges and through
91 tunnels, and on the William Tell-Express from Lucerne to Lugano/Locarno,
first by ship and then by train.
