Day 29 - Mürren to Alpiglen

This morning after a good breakfast we went to the gondola station and bid Mürren adieu. We took two lifts down to the valley floor. A short bus ride took us to Trümmelbach Falls, a crazy waterfall down through a narrow, twisting and turning crevasse. A bit of a tourist trap, but we read how great it was so we paid our 11 Francs each and saw the wonder. After, we continued walking to Lauterbrunnen and caught a train up the mountain to Kleine Scheidegg. Our destination for the day said it would be a one hour walk so we pulled out the trail map to find a new plan. We found a trail that headed along a ridge that gave us some good mountain views. The trail was quite busy but everyone had taken a lift to the top and were walking down. At a certain point we saw a summit peak that was beyond our turn off. We decided we had to go. When we arrived at the top of what is called the Royal Walk, we had 360 degrees of views for miles around. It was worth the extra effort. We eventually walked back down and headed on a desolate mountain path toward our destination. We are staying in a small quiet mountain chalet. There are cattle on the mountain hillsides with their bells ringing. At dinner time we had quite a show as the cows were rounded up for milking. Dinner was extremely good and so fresh. It is quiet now with no wifi or TV, just the sound of a few cow bells.
