Bernese Oberland 2019

With friends from the US, we visited the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. We stopped by in Lucerne and did some hiking at the nearby Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus. On our way to Grindelwald, we saw the spectacular Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge and Harder Kulm at Interlaken. Next day, we drove with a cogwheel railway train from Grindelwald to the Jungfraujoch at 3,454m. We hiked over the Aletsch glacier to the Mönchsjochhütte and did skiing and snow tubing. Back on the foot of the mountains, we hiked along the Eiger trail. The next two days, we visited the First and admired the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks on the opposite while walking to the Bachalpsee. We drove to Lauterbrunnen, got up on the Männlichen summit, walked along the Rotsteckli trail to Kleine Scheidegg, and visited the Schilthorn and the roaring Trümmelbach waterfalls.
