Description
The early bird gets the worm! If you want to complete the 51 kilometres in one day, it's best to make an early start. The ascent via Grosse Scheidegg to First is quite demanding, but the panorama becomes more impressive with every metre of ascent. When you reach the Faulhorn, it's worth taking a short break. The view over Lake Brienz, the Black Forest, the Vosges and the Jura makes your heart beat even faster.
On the well-trodden high-altitude hiking trail to Schynige Platte you can expect to see one or two hikers or bikers. From the Berghaus at Schynige Platte, the technical descent to Burglauenen begins. The last 6 kms back to Grindelwald are mostly on asphalt.
