Last night we heard some reports saying that Lauterbrunnen had been swamped with tourists over the weekend. This could be a problem, as we want to be able to walk safely in the valley. We walk down to check things out.

There’s a whole network of paths between Wengen and Lauterbrunnen.

We need to cross the track here.

For many, Lauterbrunnen is merely a railway halt where you change trains on your way to Wengen or Mūrren. That’s a shame, it definitely deserves a closer look.

One last one, in case you’re still unconvinced.

It took us around an hour and a half to walk down, and we needn’t have worried about crowds – it was deserted. The train took us back to Wengen in just 12 minutes.

It must be time to start running again, and there’s no time like the present. The first one’s always a bit tough.
