Grindelwald, Switzerland - Hikes and Pastoral Views
My big summer vacation this year was spent in Switzerland and nearby France. One of the highlights of the trip was a few days in Grindelwald, a classically Swiss mountain village that is not as developed as Zermatt, but still offers the same level of outdoor adventure. The food in Grindelwald was outstanding, the view from the Airbnb featured the north face of the Eiger in all of its glory, and the hiking in the surrounding mountains was first class. One hike started at the top of the Grindelwald First Gondola that was followed by a short trek over to the alpine lake Bachsee. The lake foreground and mountain background is featured in many pictures through the years. I also enjoyed the Swiss cows feasting on grass near the lake, who were friendly and inquisitive. My travel partner Carly and I then hiked back down to Grindelwald from Bachsee, had lunch at a mountain hut halfway down, and then coasted to the valley, where we then feasted on gourmet pizza at Onkel Tom's Weinlokal (I highly recommend this place!). A walk around Reformierte Kirche was also peaceful and proved to be a good spot for photography. For anyone interested, here is the link to the Airbnb with the super Eiger view...the hosts were outstanding people...no regrets.
