Europe 2022 Day 11: Mountain View Trail

We woke up on Sunday to a beautiful clear day! I enjoyed my run down the valley before enjoying breakfast at our hotel.

 

A gorgeous morning for a run!

We had plans to go to Murren, but decided to take the Mountain View trail, which is a little more difficult than walking the flat path from Grutschalp.  The hike is about six miles and has absolutely gorgeous views, especially on a clear day!


Exiting the cable car and this is the view. Unbelievable.


The train is on its way to Murren. I know the passengers get beautiful views from the train, however, we definitely prefer the walk/hike there!


We stopped constantly to take photos. It was so beautiful.


We were taking panoramic photos, hoping to get one to hang up in our house. This one is definitely in the running.


We were having a great time together



Me with the Monch, Eiger, and Jungfrau


Simply stunning



Another panoramic photo that I love


Jumping for so much joy!



We literally could not stop taking pictures


We did this hike back in 2014 from the other direction. At that time it was only us on the trail. We definitely saw more people this time on this beautiful day.


Ken was loving this hike


Another gorgeous view


There is this hotel that is above Murren called Hotel Sonneberg. I have always wanted to stop there for lunch, but something seemed to always prevent us from doing so. Not on this day! We stopped and enjoyed wine and lunch. It was perfect.

After lunch, we walked down to Murren.  We had plans to stop at Hotel Bellevue for a drink. 


Darling Murren


The view from Hotel Bellevue, it has one of the best views in Murren in my opinion.


After Murren, we walked down to Gimmelwald and enjoyed a drink at the brewery. We took the cable car back to Stechelberg and did our favorite walk back to the valley. It was such a gorgeous evening so we walked up to the viewpoint to get a photo of the church without all the clouds.

So charming


Such a fun day in the Berner Oberland!
