Sweeping alpine panoramas and a herd of cows that literally joined us on the trail set the stage for one of the most unforgettable hikes of our Switzerland adventure. We started the day by checking out of our beloved hotel in Mürren and moving into a chalet on the valley floor in Lauterbrunnen, before riding the train up the opposite rim to Wengen and the cable car to Männlichen. From there, we climbed to the summit on the Royal Walk, then continued along the Panorama Trail with the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau filling the horizon while cowbells jingled at our side. After a scenic lunch at Restaurant Eigernordwand in Kleine Scheidegg, the challenge ramped up with a climb to Eigergletscher on the Jungfrau Eiger Walk past the sparkling Fallbodensee. Then we tackled the Eiger Trail, a rugged cliffside descent that delivered views of the sheer Eiger North Face. We wrapped up with some time in Wengen – the Mürren equivalent on the eastern rim – before returning to Lauterbrunnen.
