Hiking and Walking in Switzerland June 25th to July 3rd, 2010 The Silberhorn Hotel is conveniently located near the train, with fantastic views of the Jungfrau peak alpine cafes are a dream come true Stunning vistas will be the daily backdrop of our hikes and walks. Join me in Wengen, Switzerland, one of the original hiking centers in the Swiss alps, conveniently located to access many stunning areas for hiking and walking via trails, cable cars and trains, within 30 minutes of the city of Interlaken. We use trains and cable cars to take us to pristine hiking areas without spending hours hiking to upper levels. The walks and hikes are generally moderately difficult --paths are mostly wide and easy walking or hiking though at times there may be shorter, more challenging terrain. You must be in good walking shape to do this tour. Please call and discuss with me if you have any concerns about your fitness level. We often walk/hike for a liesurely 4 hours or more a day, stopping for breaks, picnics, pubs or to take pictures. We will stay at Hotel Silberhorn, located just a short walk from the Wengen train station, on the main street of this quaint Alpine village. All of our rooms will have south facing balconies so you can view the fabulous Jungfrau,Eiger and Monch peaks from your bedroom. The Hotel Silberhorn has recently completed a fabulous new spa which you can use every day.
