It’s sure to be busy everywhere today, so to avoid the crowds we got the train up to Wengernalp. There’s nothing to do here in summer, so it will be quiet. Tremendous views though.

The Hotel Jungfrau at Wengernalp. The hotel dates from 1865. Prior to that it was a simple inn providing food and drink to travellers heading up to the mountain pass at Kleine Scheidegg.

The Eiger and Mönch, and a cow who was happy to pose.

The Jungfrau. This is the mountain that towers over Wengen.

Views across the valley to nearby Mürren.

Huge glacier beneath the Breithorn.

A nice walk, and we were back in the village in time to get lunch from the bakery.

Val has finished another jigsaw. This time it’s the Elbphilharmonie building that we visited in Hamburg.
