, Eiger Walk, Switzerland, July 2008
Using Wengen as a base, we caught the train to Eigergletscher station and then returned on foot to Wengen via Wengenalp. We breakfasted in the station cafe with a panorama of the galciers. There followed a long downhill trek, starting in the snows and galciers under the Eiger, and then making our way through the flowery alpine meadows, arriving in the warmth of Wengen late in the afternoon. The day before we had acclaimatised ourselves by a walk to the Mannlichen and back from Klien Schiedegg station.
