Binder Family Travel Adventures

Today we got up early to try and beat some of the crowds, and went all the way up to Schilthorn.

Some fun facts, it was in the mid 30’s there, still very much snow all over and a James Bond film was shot here (not a good one). We stayed up there a few hours and enjoyed watching people see all the clouds and just leave.

We had lunch at the top in a rotating restaurant which was fun. It was later in the morning, so you could not really see much.

After lunch it was time to take the multiple cable cars and buses and trains…back to town.

Still some pretty views on the way down.

We were going to have a chill evening, walked around a little. Watched some paragliders fly down and do their landing.

Then we decided, the line isn’t “too long”, let’s ride up to the top of Harder Klum and see the view from there. It is a small mountain perched above our town and gives a view of both lakes we are in between.

After looking around up there, the line for the cable car was like 2 hours long (maybe an exaggeration, but it was long), and we had our fill of being shuttled in and out of those things all day like cattle. So we opted for the 4km vertical hike down the mountain instead that descended 800 meters. Wasn’t so bad except the path was very much a wooded hike and not a paved path, and very steep, so hard on the knees and ankles, but we made it down in about an hour and a half AND with no injuries, still better than feeling like a herd of cattle. A celebration was in order.
