stroms en suisse alpine tour, part 4

 

Our last day in the Alps, we rented sleds and took the train up to Kleine Scheidegg (2061 m) overlooking the resort town, Wengen. 

After we made our way down to the town, we had enough time to hike back up to Wengernalp and sled down again. During our two hour hike up, we saw a family of three golden eagles.

Today's excursion took us up to Schiltgrat (2145 m) to begin our snowshoe descent all the way back to Lauterbrunnen.

Hot cocoa break.

We took an extra descent into the small mountain town of Gimmelwald and continued on to the car-free town of Murren for a warm dinner.

It started snowing big fluffy flakes and after dinner, we finished our long day with a two hour snowshoe across the ridge and back down to the valley.
