We had some very unique conditions on Lake Brienz. Thin vapor clouds hovered over the lake`s surface, blown along by the prevailing wind. Guests on the morning tour were lucky to catch the moment when the sun came over the ridge and illuminated the clouds.⁠

I’m living in my dream 👇🏻⁠
Summary of an incredible trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭⁠
Breathtaking places, food, walks, and landscapes 🗻🍫🫕🧀⁠
And many other little gems and magnificent places were part of this trip that will mark us forever, I`m sure!⁠
.⁠
Waking up early and walking were the mottos of the trip but this is the only way we managed to do so much in so little time. Even so, there is a feeling that we have seen very little and that there will be much more to see!⁠
.⁠
It is to return. Until next time 👊🏻⁠

📍The First Cliff Walk in Grindelwald is a 300-meter-long, extremely high elevated walkway that sometimes hugs the cliffs of the mountain and sometimes crosses into the great wide open.⁠
.⁠
It’s pretty exciting although probably not for people afraid of heights.⁠
.⁠
HOW TO GET TO FIRST FROM GRINDELWALD:⁠
Once in the Grindelwald village, you will take a gondola up to First. This does not leave from the train station you arrive at in Grindelwald but from the Grindelwald-First station across town in the upper village center. The gondola journey takes about 25 minutes.⁠
.⁠
How Much Does the First Cliff Walk Cost?⁠
It’s free, yahoo! However, the round-trip gondola ride is about $70 without a travel pass or half-fare card.⁠
.⁠
There is a veritable wonderland of attractions along the mountainside. Here are some of the other things you can try out:⁠
- First Glider ( Winter + Summer) ⁠
- First Flyer (Winter + Summer) ⁠
- Mountain carts ( Summer)⁠
- Trotti Bikes ( Summer)⁠
.⁠
If you are interested in hiking, Lake Bachalp is a popular trail in both winter and summer. ⁠
