Route:
This trek up to the summit of the Schilthorn (2970 m) starts in Mürren and follows the tracks of the Inferno race skiers and climbers. A mid-trip detour up the Bietenhorn (2756 m) is possible – take the steep, secured path with the white-blue-white signs up to the Bietenlücke, then detour up to the Bietenhorn with its impressive 360 panoramic view. Return: Take the Schilthornbahn back to Mürren ($) or continue on with the next hike for a 3 hr descent. Lunch/Drink: At the Schilthorn rotating restaurant (look for James Bond). |
