We Did a 4.5-hour Hike from a Swiss Mountaintop to Grindelwald
It remains the best hike I’ve ever done
It’s 5.30 a.m. and the train to Interlaken Ost departs from number 8 at Bern station. We wanted to take the first train to the gateway of the Swiss mountains.
We boarded the train and I was looking for a cup of coffee on board. When we neared the city of Interlaken, the beautiful mountains and lakes of Thun and Spiez appeared through the windows of the train.
Our train was a little bit delayed, and our transfer time was only 5 minutes — an impossible one it seemed. But as we stepped on the platform we saw the train to Grindelwald still waiting for more passengers.
We ran to the right platform (1 that is) and we were able to board the classic yellow Berner Oberland train to Grindelwald Terminal.
Do you know what I love about these trains? You can open the windows and hang out of them — which allows me to take beautiful photos and videos. In an area like that, it’s a gift.
