I am so happy you are finding it helpful!

September is really a lovely time to visit the region, it is our favorite. Summer crowds have gone home and the weather is usually the most spectacular of the year

Safe travels,

Kim

Hi Kim,

First of all, thanks a ton for the wonderful document. It helped a lot in our planning.

I have a quick question for you. We are a non-hiking travelling group planning to make a loop around the Jungfrau region in a day using all the cable cars and trains. Can you please tell me if we needed to take rest for an hour or so at a shaded area, what are some good options there to do so?

Thanks
