It’s even hotter today, so up we go to Männlichen where it’ll be a few degrees cooler. We walk the Romantikweg towards Alpiglen.

Lunch on a log.

Helicopter hard at work transporting building materials.

And here’s what they’re building. Pylons for the new Eiger Express lift from Grindelwald, which will get passengers to Eigergletscher in just 20 minutes.

The helicopter works all day without returning to its base at Lauterbrunnen, so it needs a refuelling station.

Eventually we reach the little station at Alpiglen, where we enjoy the views back up to Männlichen where we began.
