We’re up early today as we need get over to Grindelwald to meet Nick for a walk that we’ve never done before. We start by getting the gondola up to a place called Bort, where we have coffee. The walk starts with a steep climb. Nick said there was an ice cream shop at the top, but he was pulling our legs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’re not very high here, so there are still lots of cattle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Eventually the path meets the road that winds its way up to the pass at Grosse Scheidegg. Cars are not allowed, but there is a bus service.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s a bird sanctuary by the road. Sick and injured wild birds are cared for here. We often see these birds from a distance but it’s fascinating to see them up close.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Eventually we arrive at the Hotel Wetterhorn. We often ski down here for lunch in winter. It’s a lovely spot. It’s hunting season at the moment – we had venison and wild boar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To get back to Wengen we catch the new gondola up to M\u00e4nnlichen. Lots of marmots live here – can you spot them on the concrete supports?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Great day out, and the biggest lunch of the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
