When in Bahá'í history
A number of times during his life, particularly in the years immediately following the Ascension of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi retired to Switzerland to regain health, energy and self-confidence. He lived a very physically rigorous life here. Rúhíyyih Khánum wrote of "the Bernese Alps, where he had spent so many months of his life walking and climbing."
