Swiss Alps - Holenstein to Brandegg





Date: Friday 7th August 2015
Route: Holenstation to Brandegg

Our final walk of the week was one that was recommended by the holiday company rep and offered a different perspective on the countryside, as well as passing in and out of woodland - not only did this make it less exposed than some of the other walks, it also gave the walk some of the feel of the West Highland Way, thanks to all of the pines.

The walk starts from the mid-way station on the cable car between Grindelwald and Mannlichen and ends at the train station of Brandegg, 200 metres below. The walk includes both uphill and downhill sections and is less busy than some of the other walks we tried during the course of the week, despite having (yet more) spectacular views. Highly recommended.
