Here&#8217;s the drill:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get the gondola up from Wengen to Mannlichen<\/li>\n<li>Ski down past Holenstein to a little hamlet called Aspen.

Grindelwald has quite a bit to see. As you can see from the photos there have been a lot of avalanches which limit the routes a bit, but we can still ski the timed giant slalom course up at Oberjoch. Llamas under the gondola on the way down &#8211; John says these are used to carry bags for trekkers in the summer, but I&#8217;m not sure I believe him. Anyhow, enjoy the photos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/1_798_600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"798\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/27.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/2_799_6001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/E2396C2A-2E25-4C86-A26E-752ADBE87BB2_799_600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/3_799_6001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/45.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"4\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/4_799_6001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/54.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"5\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/5_799_6001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/62.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"6\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/6_799_600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/72.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"7\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/7_799_600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" data-json=\"{\\&quot;requiresResize\\&quot;:true}\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"bpp_credits\" style=\"clear: both; float: right; width: 200px; height: 70px; text-align:right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogpadpro.com\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration : none;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: middle; font-size: 8pt; color:#999;\">Edited with BlogPad Pro<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; padding-left: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/files.blogpadpro.com\/images\/speech-bubble.png\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A warm and sunny day today, so we decide to ski at Grindelwald which is the village on the other side of the mountain.
