This was the last full day here in Berner Oberland. We went back to Wengen, Kleine Scheidegg and Grindelwald again.
In Wengen, we hiked through the village searching for a vantage point for some panoramic shots of the Lauterbrunnen valley. Some part of this village is quite hilly. I saw many tourists pulling their luggage up and down the street to get to their hotels or B&B. Wengen, like Murren is a car-free village.
It was a good hike, mostly downhill toward the lower side of the village where I found a spot to shoot this photo.

Returned back to the Wengen train station. Sat down for a cup of coffee while waiting for the next train to Kleine Scheidegg.

Did not hang around KS for too long before we hopped on the train for Grindelwald. From here, the entire route is heading downhill.
After arrival by train, we strolled around this rather large Alpine village of Grindelwald quite a bit. We took the Grindelwald-First gondola (aka Firstbahn) to the top to take in more alpine views.

Really enjoyed the time here! We took the last gondola down. The weather soon turned from sunny to cloudiness to rain all within an hour.
We were not prepared for the rain, so we quickly returned to the train station. We wrapped up the day at Grindelwald and took the train first to Interlaken (in hope that the rain would stop, then we would do dinner there, but no such luck) then home back to Lauterbrunnen.
Next up: Thun and Zurich
