Bönigen

It was pretty chilly in the village this morning, so we made our sandwiches and headed down to the valley. If we get off the train at Wilderswil we can walk to Bönigen on the lake, where it will be warmer. On the way we pass the shooting club. Sport shooting is incredibly popular in Switzerland. There are more than 3000 clubs (one in almost every village), and more than 130,000 active participants.

Our route takes us past Interlaken airport. It hasn’t been used for aeroplanes for many years, though there is still a heliport here. Much of it is now used for commercial purposes.

After a good walk we arrive at the lake and have our lunch. The steamer pulls in, and it’s impossible to resist a photo.
