FollowThis afternoon we caught the train down to the valley, and then another up to Schynige Platte. We are almost 2000 metres high. There’s a hotel at the top where we’ll be spending the night. It’s very touristy, but when the last train leaves we have it to ourselves.
Schynige Platte is home to a botanical garden, with over 900 species of plants. That’s not why we’re here though; the weather forecast is good and we can have an epic hike in the mountains tomorrow.
The hotel is very quaint, and like all mountain hotels you can’t expect en-suite facilities or anything like that. What you can expect is really good food, so we’re really looking forward to dinner.
