Highlights<br />
DAY 1<br />
ARRIVAL SWITZERLAND<br />

terminal and with a short connection<br />
at Zurich main station, continue via<br />
central Switzerland to Wengen and the<br />
3* Hotel Belvedere.<br />
DAY 2<br />

beautiful views of the valley and its<br />
waterfalls. There are also plenty of<br />
sightseeing and picnic opportunities<br />
along the way.<br />
DAY 3<br />
MOUNTAIN TRIO<br />
For a great view of the region’s<br />
mountain trio of the Eiger, Mönch<br />
and Jungfrau enjoy the hike up to<br />
the Kleine Scheidegg. The 2h45 route<br />

steep paths. At the top you are<br />
rewarded with a fantastic panorama.<br />
DAY 4<br />
SCHYNIGE PLATTE – FIRST<br />
Use the historic cogwheel train from<br />
Wilderswil to Schynige Platte to get<br />
to the starting point of the 15km<br />
long panoramic trail. This visually<br />
stimulating hike along the popular<br />
Faulhornweg, the ridge walk with<br />
birds-eye views of Lake Brienz<br />
and past the most idyllic lake in the<br />
Alps – Bachalpsee offers breathtaking<br />
views.<br />
DAY 5<br />
EIGER TRAIL<br />
The Eiger North Wall is close enough<br />
to touch from the Eiger Trail and<br />
the various climbing routes to the<br />
notorious Eiger summit are easy to<br />
spot from the trail. The 6km trail –<br />
in parts quite steep – leads from<br />
Grindelwald Eigergletscher to Alpiglen.<br />
DAY 6<br />
MÄNNLICHEN AND GRINDELWALD<br />
The starting point is the restaurant on<br />
Männlichen. The 3h trail will lead you<br />
over open pastures, past alpine huts,<br />
down below the tree line to the spring<br />
pastures just above Grindelwald.<br />
DAY 7<br />
FIRST AND BACHALPSEE<br />
This 2-hour hike offers everything a<br />
hiker’s heart desires: A magnificentlylandscaped<br />
path leads through<br />
lush flowering alpine meadows.<br />
On the opposite side of the valley,<br />
ice-capped four thousand metre<br />
mountains tower in the air. At the<br />
start of the hike there is a short, but<br />
considerable climb, however it its<br />
worthwhile to tackle, to discover the<br />
GSTAAD<br />
blue gem – Lake Bachalpsee.<br />
