Switzerland - Grindelwald

Later in our trip, we moved to up into the mountains to stay in Grindelwald in order to do some mountain biking. Below are the views from our room in the mountain hotel.




We we didn´t realize it, (and found out later), that all the trails in Grindelwald go UP--and not just with a little incline. Apparently, like, UP--at a complete vertical.

We were told by a professional biker, (who was also the woman who ran our hotel) that unless we were used to biking in the mountains, we had "NO chance. Absolutely none."

It´s nice to know that Swiss people never sugarcoat the truth.

So, we stayed at the base of the mountain and road around the paved paths and enjoyed the scenery before we were overtaken by the Perfect Storm.
