Grindelwald - where our adventures began.

by Steve-H - last update: Sep 27, 2006

Gateway to the alps.

Grindelwald
From Interlaken it was a short walk to Wilderwil and a train ride to Grindelwald to start our adventures in the mountains. Grindelwald was a special place for Steff, she used to come here as a child for family holidays, the mountains are the same but the village seemed bigger than she remembered. There are shops and restaurants aplenty here and they seem to attract a lot of tourists, its a good place to rest before you head up into the high parts.
Neat, beautiful, Swiss.

Typical Gridelwald archtechture.

The chocolate box buildings were everywhere. Large wooden structures, usually hotels, look closely and you will see a cow on the balcony of this one.
Steff's glasier

Childhood memories.

Steff came here for family holidays many years ago and remembered going up the hill and inside a glasier, she was very pleased that the ice was still there all these years later.

Pros:"Very pretty, a nice place to spend a day or two."
Cons:"Like all of Switzerland, it's expensive."
In A Nutshell:"Steff came as a child and has missed it all these years."
