One of the highlights of our Best of Europe in 21 Days tour was our group hike. As this was pretty demanding–and there was a concern about snow on the trails this early in the season–only the fittest of our group participated. For me, it was a joy not to be saddled with research chores but to simply enjoy half a day hiking in Switzerland with a wonderful group of traveling friends.

Ah, the wonderful memories of hiking in the Alps! I remember hiking all day in Austria, looking out over gorgeous scenery, and then spending the night in a mountain hut. Best chicken soup and kaiserschmarrn I ever had. And the camraderie — it’s great when you can share such a soul-enhancing experience with friends.
Rick… your constant mentioning of your girlfriend Trish’s website is getting rather annoying. You’re nearly 60 not 20!
I visited Interlaken last June and had 2 days of warm sun and then the weather turned to misty rain and snow the 2 days I had planned to head up to Gimmelwald. You’re absolutely right about getting as high as possible on the clear days. I’ll return!
