Weekje sneeuw en RELAX

Weekje sneeuw en RELAXEN

Wat een heerlijke week!!

Hij begon wat gehaast en het bezoek aan de SEATdealer (knipperend dashboardlampje); was ook niet echt bepaald gepland..
Onderweg veel werkzaamheden op de duitsesnelweg wat tot de nodige vertraging zorgde maar .. waardoor we ook van mooie herfstkleuren hebben kunnen genieten.
Na 12uur rijden kwamen we in het donker aan in het wel vertrouwde huisje Wengi.

The Matterhorn

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 ...

The 3 M's - Mountain goats, Maccas and Matterhorn

... out the signs and found that none of pointed to the place we were trying to get to, so we must have been going the wrong way. Very disappointing! But on the bright side (isn’t there always one?!) we had a gorgeous view from up there and the Matterhorn was peeking through the clouds at just the right time. It was the perfect moment to take a breather and some good piccies before our trek back down!

The trek down took about 20 minutes, it wasn’t as ...

Back down from the Matterhorn

... took Evie back up via the Tram to the top of the Klein Matterhorn just before the last ride at 4:30p. Along the way, they watched a parade of swiss dancers with typical accordian players as they paraded down main street as part of an annual traditional festival.

Hike to the Base of the Matterhorn

... to climb the Matterhorn the next day. If we had said yes, we would have been awoken at 4:30 for breakfast and began the 7+ hour ascent at 5am. Needlessly to say, we declined. 

Instead, we took the Gondola/Tram/Tram route to the top of the Klein Matterhorn (little Matterhorn) at 3800m for a short ...

Highest Zipline in Europe

... way up to meet Evie and Sue at the playground (after a 5 euro hot chocolate) and we all walked down through some delightful traditional Swiss towns.

Day 6: Interlaken to Gimmelwald

... are probably more goats and chickens than people. We found our beds in the Mountain Hostel, which was approximately 15 yards away from where we got off the cable car, and realized we had been assigned beds in the "Lover's Room". I took this to mean it was going to be more expensive and private--two things I wasn't really interested in, since my budget dictates nearly everything. But as it turns out, the Lover's Room is really just a much nicer room with fewer beds that are ...

Gimmelwald

... small town never have I seen such vast beauty! The sight of the Swiss mountains left our jaws hanging wide open as we tried to whisper, "wow..wow...wow!" I can't get over it! With no cars, a required mountain train and gondola rides to many of the little cities, the place remains small, with extraordinary views. The following day we took the gondola up to Murren and Gimmelwald. At the first town, Murren we met a ...

"Go wank somewhere else"

... called Gimmelwald, recommended and made famous by everyone's favorite travel geek, Rick Steves. The route from Interlaken to Gimmelwald isn't the easiest, but worth it. First a train, then a bus, and finally a cable car. But my goodness, what a view when you get there. And the hostel is pretty much right on top of the cliff overlooking the mountains and the valley below. Magnificent! The hostel is run by a local ...
