We woke up on Tuesday to a beautiful day! We planned to take it easy but had plans to do the easy walk to Murren, down to Gimmelwald, and then down the valley back to Lauterbrunnen.
I started my morning with a run down the valley. The views did not disappoint.

We took the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp. Usually we wake up pretty early to get started, but we ended up waiting until around 11:00 or so to head up to the mountains.
The train headed to Murren. We have never been passengers on this train! One day we will when we are not capable of making the three mile walk!
It was another beautiful day.
We took the lower path instead of the mountain view trail. We stopped at Winteregg hoping to get a little lunch with a beautiful view, but it was packed! We ended up continuing on to Murren and stopping at the Bellevue Hotel for drinks and charcuterie.

Happy in Murren
The panoramic patio at the Bellevue Hotel never disappoints. Add in an Aperol Spritz and a charcuterie board, and it is a perfect day!
After our snacks, we walked down to Gimmelwald. We visited all of our favorites including the Honesty Shop and then made our way to the Mountain Hostel for a drink.

Aperol Spritz at the Mountain Hostel? Yes please!
We took the cable car from Gimmelwald down to Stechelberg and stopped off at Margie's for snacks for the walk back. I was dying for an ice cream bar!

We always enjoy the walk back to Lauterbrunnen watching the base jumpers. We did see some jump from a different spot this year. There were about 10 in a row that jumped from Wengen. It is always so crazy to watch them!

We ended the night at our hotel where our friend Adam played the piano for us before we headed off to bed for our long hike in the morning. It ended up being the pefect lowkey day that we had in mind. Lowkey still meant 13.6 miles. That is how we do vacation!
