Help on hike (Lauterbrunnen-Murren-Schilthorn)
-
*I have a fear of height. Let me know if any of this involves great heights.
The plan is for a hike in Mid May
Set off from Lauterbrunnen train station 8.30am and walk to the cable car that leads to Grutchalp.
Walk from Grutchalp to Wintergg station ( Question 1: How far is the distance, so I have an idea
how long to walk ?)
And take the tram to Murren.
Explore Murren town and have my early lunch here.
Take cable car up to Schilthorn (Question 2: How would i know if the weather is good to go up at Murren and advisable to get the ticket through the hotel ?) .
Then come down back to Murren.
From Murren walk to Gimmewald (Question 3: how long is this trail, some said 20minutes to 1 hour)
Question 4 : As i am walking alone and first time hiking, is this path always crowded with people on a weekday ?
Gimmewald to Stechelberg. ( Question 5: is there a tram down to Stechelberg instead of the steep cable car? Scared of height ! Or other alternatives)
From Stechelberg station, walk 20minutes to Trummelbach falls.
And going back Trummelbach falls, i shall take the bus or walk back ( 45 mins)
Question 6: Would this plan be accomplished in a day, that is getting back Lauterbrunnen before sun set ?
Question 7 Is there a better route to explore the beauitful scenery than this planned route,
I am seeking an easy to walk path that has nice mountain/alps scenery without fear of getting
lost but still within the same region.
Question 8 What kinda of walking attire should I be wearing in May ? Is there alot of mud ( boots ) or just
normal sneakers will do ? First time hiking !
Question 9 : Now this plan I will explore Launterbrunnen, Murren and Schilthorn. Should i still explore Wengen? Is Wengen’s view better than Murren?
Question 10 : I promised this is the last question , in case of emergency I am stuck in Murren trail and needed help. What is the SOS number ? or What is the usual SOP procedure ?
Thanks for all the help ! I know i have too many questions, some can only be answered while i am there too 🙂
