Is that where you live?? What a cool house! I remember seeing homes and buildings in that style in Switzerland, but I've never seen them in U.S.
It is not the house I personally live in. I would absolutely want to, concerning the "cozy home living ambience", but not the maintenance going on with such an old house (several hundred years old) - or any house... (don´t get me wrong, I like doing work with my hands, but I just prefer to spend my free time (off work) out in the mountains, and not doing stuff on a house constantly...
)
It´s just one of the typical old farm houses I pass by at first when going on a shorter mountain trail run.
I personally like to see how it looks like where other forum members live or what they do, so I sometimes "make the background larger and the knife smaller" in my pics...
Can remember for example a pic of your Shaman in some garden (?) with an old shed in the background. I liked that a lot!
And yes, farmhouses in Austria, southern Germany and many parts of Switzerland look a lot the same.
When have you been to Switzerland?
And since you have already been there, why didn´t you cross the border to visit beautiful Austria too??!! :mad: ... :p
(AND: We have even better knife-laws here than in Switzerland. As far as I know, in both countries you can carry any folder you like, except in Switzerland automatics can´t have a blade longer than 5 cm, in Austria there is no limit even for autos...
)

He lives in Austria. Yes when I lived in Switzerland there were many Tyrolean style buildings although we just called them chalets :D
Vail, CO is modeled the same way and only about 90 minutes away from Spyderco
When did you live in Switzerland?
And: I am sure Vail is nice (and I would love to go there for backcountry / powder skiing), but I doubt that their houses are several hundred years old...
