Grindelwald - October 13-19 2023

Friday October 13 we took the train from Zurich to Grindelwald, our base for 6 nights to explore the Jungfrau region, staying at the Hotel Bergwelt.

First thing to mention about Grindelwald is the amazing views, including the Eiger and Wetterhorn. Next thing to mention is that the town is weirdly overrun by "Tik Tokkers" - people who roam in twos and threes in garish costumes and take selfie videos every 20 seconds. Annoying, but if you look up and away from the humans, everything is glorious :-). View from our hotel room:

Grindelwald has a great set of gondolas, cable cars and railways to take you up into the mountains in different directions and we made good use of them to do a series of day hikes to explore the region. The trip to Jungfraujoch gave us amazing views of glaciers and the surrounding peaks. Our favorite was hike was from Kleine Scheidegg to Mannlichen on a beautiful day when the views never stopped.

On to Luzern tomorrow!
