Most people tend to do this trip the other way around, or even take the train up to the top and then back. But it is up to you.
In Wirklichkeit ist es ein pretty challenging hike. With a combination of short and serious elevation gains, together with a wooded, rocky trail that was uneven underfoot. And a route that had an endless number of switchbacks.
Etwa auf halber Höhe des Berges befindet sich der Bahnhof Breitlauenen 1.542 m (5.059 ft), ein unmittelbarer Bahnhof, an dem die Züge vorbeifahren können, und ein Ort mit Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten für Wanderer. Es ist ein wunderschöner Ort inmitten der Almwiesen mit beeindruckenden Panoramablicken.
Close to the actual summit, the views open up even more. And there are a series of impressive narrow paths and dramatic drops that require a steady footing, nerves of steel, and perhaps a good idea not to look down.
At the top, the summit of Schynige Platte is regarded as a hidden gem. With great views from the top and the setting for many a great hike, notably a six-hour jaunt over to First, Grindelwald, which is one to do in the future.
