    <<“Day 4 it will be for going to Wengen and up to Mannlichen and Royal walk.”>>

    The trail will be groomed snow. Consider what foot wear to use. I’d use boots with grippy soles, but I need ankle support. Smooth soles wont work, the trail has inclines. Hope you do have awful weather on that particular day….could happen.

    <<“Day 5 I will check out the hostel and leave to Luzern. I want to visit one of the mountains around (Pilatus Rigi or Titlis), preferably the latest as its included on the swiss travel pass – but I guess, again, the weather will dictate my choice – as I don’t have mountains like these here I am not going to be tired of those views, guaranteed. I know Titlis will take me more time than the others though – the only time limit I have is I have to be in Bern around 8pm.”>>

    Could work, but you have a lot of travel time. I’d pick Pilatus as closest. Gives you more slack time to look around and enjoy.

    Check it out with the timetable.

    Luzern is worth making time for walk

    Okay, I think I will trust you guys and go with Pilatus 🙂

    For the Royal walk (and pretty much all of my trip) i have some sturdy hiking boots which ive been using to break them in. I hope they will be enough

    Still couldnt figure it out if mannlichen kleine scheidegg will be open -.- its probably for the best to ask around before coming down

    thank you for everything!

    Ooops! Sorry. A typo. When I edited, I dropped a word. I am embarrassed.

    What I meant to say was:

    “Hope you do NOT have awful weather on that particular day….could happen.”
