  • Hiking the Swiss Pyramid: Mülenen to Niesen

    Hiking the Swiss Pyramid: Mülenen to Niesen

    A steep hike up to the top of Niesen from Mülenen, and a trip with the funicular railway down. Niesen is known as the Swiss Pyramid – from a distance, it has a pyramid shape. From the summit you have views of lakes Thun & Brienz, the Eiger/Mönch/Jungfrau, Gantrisch, and more. Startpoint: Mülenen train station /…

  • Gurnigel to Stockhorn Hike

    Gurnigel to Stockhorn Hike

    A beautiful hike with views of the Gantrisch area. To me, the Stockhorn is one of the more distinct mountains in the Bernese Alps – whenever I see the mountain from certain angles in the Bern region, it kind of reminds me of an upside-down Nespresso capsule. I wanted to explore a little more around…

  • Grimselpass to Sidelhorn Hike

    Grimselpass to Sidelhorn Hike

    Grimselpass to Sidelhorn is an exceptionally beautiful higher altitude hike that has views of multiple alp ranges and glaciers from the summit. The first part of this hike is an easy walk from Grimselpass (2164m) on the upper road over Grimselsee, and then it gets steeper as you go up towards Sidelhorn (2764m). The path…

  • Eiger Trail: Alpiglen – Eigergletscher – Grindelwald Hike

    Eiger Trail: Alpiglen – Eigergletscher – Grindelwald Hike

    The first part of this hike is a reverse of a classic that takes you along the Eiger Trail. There seemed to be more people starting up at Eiger Gletscher and hiking down to Alpiglen, but going up is a decently challenging hike and I prefer going up versus down here. I had planned to…

  • Schynige Platte – Faulhorn – First Hike

    Schynige Platte – Faulhorn – First Hike

    This hike may be one of my favorite hikes in the Jungfrau region. Schynige Platte on its own is great, First is also beautiful, but the connection between the two and way up Faulhorn was my favorite as you get such varied scenery, and I really love any combination of mountain and lake. It’s also…

  • Meiringen – Grosse Scheidegg – Grindelwald Hike

    Meiringen – Grosse Scheidegg – Grindelwald Hike

    This was one of my new favorite hikes, and one I will definitely go back to many times. My husband said that some of the views from Grosse Scheidegg are his favorite when cycling, so one day we decided to both start from Meiringen, on bike/foot respectively. This hike is Stage 10 of the Via…

  • Lauterbrunnen to Männlichen Hike

    Lauterbrunnen to Männlichen Hike

    A beautiful hike from Lauterbrunnen to Männlichen. I was looking for something with a large in elevation difference that I could do in a few hours without having to walk back downhill. This is one of my favorite hikes that I have done so far, but then again nearly everything in this region ends up…
