🇨🇭 Cable Car Rides from Stechelberg to Schilthorn

The journey from Stechelberg to Schilthorn is a series of cable car rides that take you from the valley to the Schilthorn summit (2,970 m), known for its 360-degree panoramic views and its association with the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The scenic rides offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. Route: 1. Stechelberg to Gimmelwald The first leg takes you from the valley floor in Stechelberg (867 m) to the picturesque village of Gimmelwald. 2. Gimmelwald to Mürren From Gimmelwald, you continue to Mürren (1,638 m), a car-free village offering stunning views. 3. Mürren to Birg Next, the cable car ascends steeply to Birg (2,677 m), where you can explore the Thrill Walk, a cliffside path. 4. Birg to Schilthorn The final leg takes you to the Schilthorn summit, home to the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant and the James Bond exhibit. The entire journey from Stechelberg to Schilthorn takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on wait times and transfers between cable cars. #familytravel #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #cablecar #alps #Schilthorn #Interlaken #summit #train #Lauterbrunnen #Stechelberg #tripblazers

The Most Beautiful Waterfall Town in Switzerland - Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen is very beautiful. Although Switzerland gives an impression of a similar kind of beauty, nothing more than snow-capped mountains, dreamy slopes, chalet towns, and lakes, each region has its own unique characteristics when you delve deeper. Lauterbrunnen stands out as exceptionally 'resounding'; its name translates directly from German to 'loud springs' (Laut-Brunnen). There are seven waterfalls of varying sizes cascading down the cliffs on both sides of the valley, hence Lauterbrunnen is known as the 'Waterfall Town'. If one is not too close to the waterfalls and rivers, the sound of the water becomes a pleasant white noise; however, walking by the river, no matter how beautiful the scenery, it still feels too noisy. Fortunately, the location of the houses here is somewhat wisely chosen, about the width of a small path and a lawn away from the river, significantly reducing the sound of the water. Walking on any path in Lauterbrunnen feels like strolling through a painting. At the foot of Staubbach Falls, there is a beautiful cemetery, with each grave meticulously maintained, and personalized tombstones adorned with different plants, creating mini gardens. Each tombstone is unique; some belong to former musicians, as indicated by the musical notes and staves on the tombstones; some have local cows carved on them, suggesting the person buried was likely a cattle farmer; some look grand, probably belonging to a leader or a notable contributor. I have never seen such a lovely cemetery, and it is imaginable that their descendants not only focus on their current lives but also hold respect and remembrance for the deceased.

Day 10 in Europe -- Start of a three-day hiking trip

June 27, 28, 29, the last three days of the trip, we began hiking. On the 27th, we hiked from Winteregg to the small village of Murren, then to Gimmewald, and finally to the valley floor. In the morning, we took a train from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen, then a cable car 🚡 to Grutschalp, and then transferred to a train to Winteregg. We started hiking from Winteregg, heading towards Murren. Upon reaching Murren, we began descending along the valley path. I believe that hiking offers a more immersive travel experience, allowing for a greater connection with nature and providing more perspectives to appreciate the natural beauty.
