Kleine Scheidegg


From Lauterbrunnen we rode the train up to Wengen and on up to the Kleine Scheidegg to be overpowered by the North Face of the Eiger. Wow! It really is impressive! I was looking for the 'window' where climbers go. I only saw it once we were on the Grindelwald side. The Monch & Jungfrau were looking gorgeous too wearing a fresh layer of snow.
There was lots of fresh snow here. But we still went for a wander and made a cute snowman. The weather was cloudy at first, but cleared up. Interestingly enough it stayed clear until we boarded the train to descend to Grindelwald.
I am not sure if the dog drank what is in her barrel or if the tourists just tired her out with all their petting and photo taking! This part of Switzerland is on its off-season at the moment, getting ready to rock n' roll for winter, so travelling around at this time of year is a bit tricky sometimes. Regardless, there were lots of people around.
