Lauberhorn’s revenge

Today’s walk is pretty simple. Catch the train up to Scheidegg, walk to the top of the Lauberhorn, then continue down the other side to Wengernalp.

In winter the Lauberhorn is a huge playground for skiers. We can descend by any number of routes and modern ski lifts whisk us back to the top. In summer there’s no snow and therefore no lifts. Climbing the Lauberhorn is pretty strenuous. Eventually we reach the top.

The route down follows the world cup downhill course. Even the cows appreciate the views.

Here’s Val at the top of the Hundschopf. The ski run literally falls off a cliff here.

Eventually we reach Wengernalp and the sky begins to darken. The thunderstorm arrived just as we got home.
