Popped out for a few drinks with Emily last night.

Today’s trip takes us over to Grütschalp, where one of our favourite walks begins. We start in the forest.

Views back to Wengen.

The path climbs through the forest, and eventually the trees begin to thin out as we gain height.

A little further along we reach the Saustal (Saus valley). it’s wild, and absolutely beautiful.

After crossing the Sausbach river we climb again. The terrain gets steeper.

Here’s the Sausbach river again, thundering down the mountain. We can see this from our balcony at home.

Eventually we arrive at the tiny hamlet of Sulwald. A miniature cable car (capacity – 6) takes us down to the village of Isenfluh, from where we catch the bus back to Lauterbrunnen. By the time we got there it was dinner time, so we stopped at the new Turkish takeaway and bought beer and gyros. Delicious!
