FollowLast night we met Beanie, Sandro and Aliena for a beer. 5 months since Aliena appeared on this blog, and she’s growing!
Folklore evening at the ice rink. Bell ringers, dancers, yodelling and alphorns.
This morning we set off for a place called Spatenalp, high above the village. Great views on the way.
There’s a farm at Spatenalp, where we get a coffee before we start our descent into the next valley.
The path quickly becomes very steep, with many exposed sections protected by fixed ropes.
Occasionally we get a glimpse of our destination, 1000 metres below in the valley.
After about 4 and a half hours, we finally arrive at Burglauenen, where a train is waiting to take us up to Grindelwald.
From Grindelwald we get the train up to Scheidegg, from where we walk back to Wengen. Lovely old houses at the top of the village.
Our track from this morning:
