A lovely weekend in the heart of the Swiss Alps, with its breathtaking scenery and a wonderful address to share with all and sundry... Welcome to Grindelwald.
We were able to enjoy 2 days in the region with great weather, ideal for getting out our ebikes and going for a ride. Early in the morning, after a lovely breakfast at the Fiescherblick (we'll tell you more about it below), we headed for the village center to take the eggs directly to First. From here, a footbridge gives us an unobstructed view of the village of Grindelwald, with the Eiger (3970 m) in the background... the tone is set.
Our next stop is the Bachapsee, easily accessible via a wide, uncluttered path. Once there, to admire the scenery, you have to go to the other side of the lake. We've long wanted to see, capture and admire the Bachalp lake and its reflection of the Schreckhorn (4087 m)... and now we have!
The next stage of our hike takes us along trail no. 3 via the Rötihorn towards Bussalp. The path is steeper, but the views of the Eiger, Monch (4107 m) and Jungfrau (4158 m) mountains become increasingly spectacular. Arriving in Bussalp across the fields, we make an invigorating stop at the Bergrestaurant Bussalp, before taking the bus back to Grindelwald and getting ready for our lovely evening at the Fiescherblick.
WHERE TO STAY | EAT
Here's an address like no other: the Fiescherblick.. A small, recently renovated hotel with a minimalist decor where every detail seems thoughtful and appropriate. 2 brothers, Matthias & Lars, warmly welcome us to their little jewel. The Fiescherblick's additional asset is its excellent cuisine, with dishes inspired by culinary journeys to Japan and Scandinavia. The young team accompanies us throughout the evening to help us discover beautiful dishes full of creativity. At the end of the evening... all we wanted to do was try it again! That's why we're going back in 2024... we can't wait!
