We have been back from our month long European Vacation, and I have yet tackled posting pictures on my blog or facebook. We only have like 2500 pictures! Here are some pictures of our stay in Interlaken and Gimmewald Switzerland. This area of Switzerland is AMAZING! It's the Swiss Alps on Steroids! We had to take a cable car to Gimmewald, which is about 5,000 ft in elevation!
The mountain town of Gimmewald!
The fresh water trough the town uses, Alp water is amazing!
Me by the town playground, and the cable car station.
We stayed at the Mountain Hostel and had a blast! We met a bunch of friends from Washington, North Carolina, Georgia and Canada. We even met up with some of the people we met after Switzerland in Italy!
Look how clear and beautiful the water is! You can see straight thru it! It's Glacier water.
Dave and I went on a hike to Trummebach Falls, he's holding the Swiss flag! The valley below is the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
A picture from the Cable car riding up to Gimmewald, you can see all the valley below.
Dave hiking to Murren. Murren is where the only grocery store is on the mountain, and it's a 45 minute up-hill hike from Gimmewald.
Sprutz waterfall. This was a beautiful, crazy hike. We hiked for an hour straight up hill, I'm serious this hike had the highest inclined trail I have ever hiked. It was so worth it though!
Dave & I at the top of Gimmewald, making our way down from the Sprutz waterfall hike. Unbelievable views seen up here!
Another picture from the Sprutz waterfall, you can walk under it to the other side. It's crazy though because you are level with a very high alp on the other side, that told us how high we really were!
Gimmewald is unbelievable, I would go back there in a heart beat! There are no cars, tons of goats, and we had fresh yogurt- that was unreal!
This is the trail the switchbacks through Gimmewald, I'm pretty sure that speck of a person is me and Dave is way a head of me!
These alps are called the Eiger, Monch, and Jungafrau. They are huge and famous. We watched avalanches happen on their cliffs, which sounded like Thunder, it was insane!
Overall Switzerland was a hit! We stayed at one really nice hostel in Interlaken, and the Mountain hostel in Gimmewald. We met lots of nice people whom we are planning a Europe 2019 trip with. They think because Dave & I are LDS that we will be bringing out 6 plus children with us, but I'm not so sure about that. If anyone wants to go to Switzerland or any of the countries we visited let me know and I will give you some good tips and tell you about great places to stay, visit and where to eat! By the way it was actually warmer here than when we were in Paris, we had great weather here!
