After the falls we took a cable car up to Grütschalp and began our hike of the Mountain View trail.  The conditions were to be favourable for great views of the Alps, our patience was to be tested this morning as it was a couple of hours into the hike before we saw a break in the clouds.

But a break in the clouds did come and at last the Alps began to reveal themselves.  I have a friend who commented about the price of things in Switzerland and said that the the saying for Switzerland should be something along the lines of "we can charge whatever we want, we have the Alps".  After these views I have to say I agree with her.

From left to right: Eiger (3970 meters), Mönch (4107 meters), Jungfrau (4158 meters)

There are companies that offer para-gliding tours, needless to say my bucket list has a new entry!
