Hostellerie Du Pas De L Ours Crans-Montana

I am only stayin the night just to see the Matterhorn. The sun is out and I took a hike up nearby hill. It was about an hour and a half uphill walk with regular short stops to catch my breath. I think I have had enough of hiking now, I did 4 hours of it at Montreux as well, I must have the best **** at the moment. Spectacular view of the mountain at the hilltop though. It's less of a mountain and more of a giant pinnacle of rock. It looks menacing, to prove it there is a nearby graveyard full ...

I decided to change hostels because I really didn't like this one. I am not fond of the international hostels. They're like hospitals, although the buffet breakfast was nice and I liked their cat. I was woken up by screaming, unruly kids. Some parents aren't parents. I was happy to change. The sun had also come out and so I snuck on the train from Montreux Tilletet to Veyvey which is only 5 minutes away. The place is much nicer and has free food and a kitchen. I actually got an entire 6 ...

Not too much to say. I arrived in the afternoon to a rainy day but with a lovely view of the mountains over the river. I also saw the beautiful Chateau de Chillon which is a castle only a 5 minute walk from the hostel.
My large and sterile hostel did not open til five. Since I had used my eurrail pass that day | decided to take a look at Lausanne which my guidbook says is beautiful. What a crock! It is just another city. I was surprised that I encountered more of the scamming ...

... to see the peaks and the blue sky. I then hiked back.
People are nice around here, they wave to mean through their windows. The hostel owners are also very, very nice. I also sat with some Koreans and we shared meals (there's being much better than mine). When I returned from my hike the two Americans offered me some of their Mexican dinner. It was very yummy. All in all not a bad day.

Yesterday I got the good news that the weather is supposed to clear. I ...

... next township called Zweilutschinen. It was beautiful to see the peaks and the blue sky. I then hiked back.

... drop full of avalanche protection fences for a much less gradual descent. These would also come in handy if either of us lost our footing… luckily not necessary.

In the next two days I did a couple more hikes, much easier. I took a walk down to the end of the valley, hiked up a bit of a hill, but nothing as strenuous as the first day. Got some more good views and considered that day ...

... a few very flash hotels and plenty of flash wheels, second only to the casino car park in Monaco for expensive cars. We counted 3 red Ferraris, 3 Porsches, 1 Corvette, an Audi TTRS, and a BMW M3, all in the space of about 2 blocks. As we lunched on goulash and bratwurst in the main street of Lauterbrunnen, soaking up the much anticipated sunshine, we had a fabulous view out over the Valley to the little town of Wengen. It is perched high on the hill on the ...

... of elevation! Ouch! Hired bikes and rode to Stecklberg before getting a cable car up to Murren and then a ride across and over to Isenfluh. Before we left the girl at the bike shop said "You cant get lost" - always famous last words! All beautiful riding until we got onto the gravel and pebbles which got a bit harder until a very steep down hill part where I lost control of my bike changing gears and flew over the ...

Hey guys, Well we have been at camp for the last week, 1 week of training, 1 week of getting to know 100 other instructors and counselors... Anyways as you might know I will be in charge of the climbing program here at camp... now when I signed my contract and I was told ...

... for a day of hiking. We took the train to Lauterbrumen and looked at the "magnificent" waterfall, and then went on a beautiful hike in the valley along the river. Jungfraujoch is the highest railway station in Europe. To fully experience the Alps you would need to do at least a one week hiking trip as it takes too much travel time to go up and down each day and you would be seeing the same hiking trails and scenery. Interlaken is situated between 2 lakes: Thun & Brienz. It ...
