Hotel Fiescherblick Grindelwald

... werden we verast met een dik pak sneeuw!! <br>Een wandeling van Riederalp langs Blausee, vervolgens door de heuvel-bos-rug naar Rieder Furka was een wandeling van 4 uur, met onze schenen in de sneeuw, was een goede start van onze wandel vakantie:)<br><br>Zeer fijn waren onze mooie nieuwe waterdichte en dus warme bergschoenen!<br><br>De volgende dag stond ondanks de nieuwe sneeuw welke de nacht gevallen was, wederom de Eggerhorn op het ...

... is a mountain that rises 9,748' above sea level. At it's peak sits a restaurant called "Piz Gloria"'. Now a restaurant at the top of this dramatic overlook, which gives you a view to the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks (all in excess of 13,000' and snow-covered, would be spectacular enough. However evidently the Swiss wanted more drama, so they also made it revolve. For those of you who are 007 fans, the restaurant was "blown up ...

... area, surrounded by cool mountains and sitting between two lakes. Halloween is definitely better spent in the US, but Interlaken was definitely a great alternative. This morning we got up and helped around the Hostel and then walked around Interlaken before my friends went bungee jumping. Unfortunately I didnt get to go watch because it would have been 20 dollars just to go up and watch, which would have been silly. So I took the train home. <br>

We were then supposed to take an overnight train to Bern Switzerland but I managed to **** that up royally and booked the train to Berne Germany, which is in the opposite direction... Jon was not impressed... and I only realized this 1 hr before our 10 pm train. So after hours of trying to rent a car (impossible during Oktoberfest) we got really lucky and found a car that needed to be returned to Switzerland anyways. So after a full day of ...

... Englishman, the only ones fool hardly enough to swim in this temperature. Have a Swiss hot chocolate and take the car back to the camp site for lunch. After which we walk down the road and catch the free bus back into town with a card the site gave us. They are not joking about the Swiss time keeping, on the dot on every thing we have been on, with services designed that you get off one, walk across the road and the next service is waiting for you. Even the buses arrive in ...

... intention of going up in the cable car to Schillthorn. However when we got to the tourist office, the live webcam from the top of Schillthorn showed that it was all closed in with cloud. The live webcam of Jungfrau showed perfect clear skies and fantastic views. We drove to the end of the Lauterbrunnen valley, again to see how far we could go. Not that far and nbothing exciting when we got there. With Schillthorn not an option, we had ...

... the view was not as good as it could have been. We went for a walk up the main street of Grindelwald to get orientated. Found a supermarket and bought some supplies before stopping for a coffee at Central Hotel Wolter which was next to our hotel. Decided to go ice-skating of the Sports Centre which we had free access to with our visitor card which was included in our hotel price. The ice-skating for ...

We arrived at Interloken, Switzerland by train at 11:30AM and checked into the famous Balmers Hostal. It was a cool place full of young travelers. There was a huge courtyard with ping pong and life size chess. Inside was a movie room and small library. Downstairs was a ...
