Day 42 - Lauterbrunnen Valley
We walked from along the trails and road up to the tram at Stechelberg and took it up the valley walls to Murren via Gimmelwald. From there we spent several hours hiking the Mountain View Trail all the way to Grutschalp. The weather cleared and we had wonderful views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau.
We ate sandwiches on thick Swiss bread before boarding the tram back down to Lauterbrunnen. From there we returned to Interlaken and walked around town enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. |

This
morning we took the train from Interlaken up to the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
From the train station we hiked along the river to Trummelbach Falls. It was
quiet and overcast and we hardly saw anyone until we approached the falls
and purchased tickets. We rode the cog rail up into the cave-like slot
canyon carved by the falls. You hike upwards along dark, stepped tunnels to
various viewpoints of the churning waterfall. The air is full of cold mist
and the roaring sound of the rushing water.
