Grindelwald

And one thing I wanna point out too is that there's several different ways to get up to Jungfrau.

You can go from Interlaken, you can f- go from Lauterbrunnen, you can go from Grindelwald.

You could take the gondola from Grindelwald as well.

So there are several different ways to get up here.

So when you're booking your tickets, just make sure you're looking at which station you're going to leave from, and book accordingly.

The very long horns.

Yeah, so there was some people playing the alphorn up at the restaurant, so we had some live music with dinner.

So our last day in the Interlaken region, we went to Grindelwald First.

I, I remember I was in Switzerland this summer.

I was in First, First Mountain, uh, next to Grindelwald.

And then, uh, we were waiting to do the sky- skydive.

Like, not like bungee jump, but like, like, like, the zip line, like from this mountain to this mountain.

...

in, uh, Grindelwald.

Oh, you did? Nice.

Yeah.

You sit and watch the world change outside the window as you move along.

From Interlaken, we took a train to Grindelwald, and the train starts climbing.

The mountains get bigger, the valleys deeper, grass is still green, and you finally arrive in this little mountain village surrounded by the Alps.

I actually had decided for this stop we would splurge just a little bit and stay in a hotel right there in town, and I'm glad we did.

We stayed at the Derby Hotel, and the location could not have been better.

The train pulls into the Grindelwald station, and at the front of the hotel is literally right across the street from the tracks, and the back of the hotel has balconies that stare at the mountains.

Once we arrived, we went to the hotel lobby.

Our rooms were ready, so we dropped our stuff off in the hotel, changed clothes, and we headed out.

Other destination, Caroline, we have also Chamonix and Zermatt, so include multiple countries, not only Switzerland, but France, Switzerland and Italy.

Then we have also a beautiful Grindelwald and Engeberg, which is great because it's not that far from the airport and it's easily reachable.

So we technically include always two destinations during the same trip.

And what would a typical day look like on one of those trips in terms of when the clients are at the ski resort? Would they typically ski all day or does that depend on the client?

By starlight, on the morning of August 3, the anniversary of our terrible discomfiture, we rode across the silent lake to begin our day of victory.

The most experienced men of the party declared Lefroy a dangerous mountain, as difficult as the Eiger, which towers so grandly above Grindelwald.

A party of nine on three ropes rendered the risk greater.

From Abbott Pass, the side sweeps up at an average angle of about forty degrees for fifteen hundred feet.

The bridge at Wülstiden is carried away.

The vetturini from Brienz and Grindelwald will not encounter the risk of driving home from the fear of some rock falling on their heads.

The water here has risen to within a foot and a half of the Arlbridge.

The gloom of the sky I cannot describe.

The road is practically for pedestrians, and not an idea of any danger.

Travelers from thence have come here today, but for carriages the road will not be passable during the remainder of the year.

I purpose, therefore, proceeding across the Lesser Scheideck to Grindelwald, and by the Greater Scheideck to Merian, by Fröka and Grimsel to Altdorf, and so on to Lucerne.

Storms, rain, and everything else permitting, which means, if God will.

I was lucky enough to early sign up for a race called the E16 in the Eiger.

So you're in Grindelwald in Switzerland and you run under the shadow of the Eiger and it is wonderfully beautiful.

gigantic as a mountain and it's very dramatic and the why I signed up for that the medal is a part of the Eiger it's part of that it's a rock that is washed up from the weather out there and it's just gorgeous and I'm like my friend Simba described it as a weapon and I was like it is a weapon of a medal anyway it is a 10 mile race it's 16 kilometers with 900 meters of elevation so it's punchy like it is a lot of vert to take in and I just get very nervous at the start of races.

It doesn't matter if it's my first or if it's my 50th or 500th, however many I've done.
