After getting some advice from the locals, Cooper and I (along with a couple friends) set off to do “the” Alpine hike. The hike took us up and down the ridge, up Faulhorn peak, and down to First. On one side were the giant glacier filled peaks, while the other looked down over Interlaken and its surrounding lakes. The hike was tough, and took us about 6 hours to get to First. We weren’t done, though, as we had to make the 3 hour descent down to the town of Grindelwald, where we made our camp for the night.
Our feet were not too happy with us the next day, especially while we made the 12 mile trek along the river back to Interlaken…
