It's like silk for the soul...


We want to share with you an amazing experience from one of our users Margareta Olenmark who's been hiking with KORI Squirrel sport socks in the alps of Switzerland:

Once a year, I go hiking in the Alps, this time we went to the Gotthard massifs in Switzerland. It's like silk for the soul to go along with someone you really like and just enjoy presence. Talking sometimes , being quiet most of the time and just listening to the silence. Being away from all the dos and donts and all the stress. The words that are repeated time after time is "ohh how beautiful it is" or "oh, life is good". The only thing you see are mountains all around, maybe another person, an ibex and perhaps marmots if you're lucky. 

Each day, we took about 6 hours of hiking up and down mountains , trails, rocks and streams. It is important to to walk in good shoes and socks, comfortable shorts and top while carrying a heavy backpack with content that will suffice, in our case, for 3 days. You get warm and sweaty, so a quick cooling plunge in a spring or alp-lake wasnt wrong at all and then a small picnic with a good wine which we had in your backpack - WONDERFUL.

In the evening it is nice to dressoff, letting the shoes and socks dry in the chalet until the next day, finnishing the day with a good soup or pasta and a cold beer before falling asleep, of course, first a look at the black night sky with thousands of stars that light up for me and for others.

Next day looks the same but with a little pain in the legs and neck, though, as the masseur I am it is easily solved with a little massage and some Arnica and Magnesium that I have with me. It is not difficult to start the next day's hike when you encounter the sun rising over the the mountain peaks, at 2500m above sea level with beautiful clear air, amazing view - we talk sometimes , we are quiet most of the times ...
