Woke up early this morning to catch a bus down to Trummelbach Falles. These are 10 separate falls INSIDE the mountains, which drain the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch - this one spot drains them all. We took a lift halfway up, then climbed stairs the rest of the way. Absolutely astounding how much the water has carved away at the rock, and how it swirls inside the mountain. We were the first ones up today!
Next we conquered the Via Ferrata... A 4 hour cliff walk. I'll spare my mom the details but it was a life changing experience! Wow.
And after this, we took the cable car up to Schiltorn, the viewpoint for the Eiger, Jungfrau, Monch, and the rest of the Alps. We went through super thick clouds to arrive above them for crystal clear views. There are trails out in the mountains, so we were able to hike out a short ways to get even more amazing views of this gorgeous creation. A nice shop lady let us buy beers and drink them out on the deck 15 mins before closing. Mountain top experience!
Finished the day with delicious fondue made with local.cheese. a splurge for our last night here! Wish we could.stay longer! So much more we would love to do...
