Dick Ernenwein, Leader

This adventure is based in Grindelwald, "The glacier village", located in the Jungfrau, Bernese Oberland region. This beautiful alpine flower village is situated in a high mountain valley at 3393ft. and surrounded by the famous peaks The Eiger(13026'), The Monch(13449') and The Jungfrau (13642'). We will stay at the 3-star Hotel Derby, 20 steps from the last stop on the narrow gage rail line, and all our rooms have been reserved to be face to face with The Eiger.

This will be an easy to moderate hiking trip of 3-10 miles a day with verticals up to 2000ft. Both easier and more difficult hikes will be available. The daily hikes will be combined with daily tours seeking out
the most interesting and beautiful trails, roads, villages, waterfalls and mountain vistas. We will tour the region by using our Swiss Travel Pass on mountain bus, rail and steamer as well as mountain gondola and cable lifts. Besides Grindelwald, we will tour the villages of Interlaken, Murren, and Kandersteg with the highlight of the trip ascending by rail and foot the Jungfraujoch at 11,333ft., located just below the summit of the Jungfrau.

Price of $1650 ($75 nonrefundable): Includes 8 nights double room, 8 breakfasts, 8 dinners at the Hotel Derby, one lunch at a typical alp hut above Grindelwald, plus the Swiss Travel Pass which has unlimited travel for the 8 days on Swiss rail, postal motor coaches, streetcars, buses and lake steamers. It also provides 25% reduction for most mountain excursions (cable cars, gondolas, etc.). Not included: Airfare, 6 lunches, all beverages, and all items of a personal nature.
