Murren Männlichen to Grinderwad Schilthorn Skiing Switzerland - Day Four

Skies
Skiing in Switzerland with 7 Friends, two areas and one coffee stop


Murren / Männlichen to Grinderwad / Schilthorn
Got up at 6AM to make the bus and train up to Lauterbrunnen to meet Mike and Sean at the gondola / train station. After putting on ski boots and hiding my boot bag at the train station, the 5 of us were off to Wengen to ski together. I meet Mike and Sean one year ago today. We don't like to spend too much time together so we only see each other one day a year!

Half-day we took the train back to Grinderwald and met up with Sean and Mike's friends Daniel and Mattie. On the train ride over, we had a little picnic with an epic view of the valley and some beautiful waterfalls

Later that night in Lauterbrunnen, we went to the camp ground to visit their friends and family and have a big beer with the local older men.

For dinner, we stopped at the house were Mike is staying and had Raclette with all the fixings! With the little pan, you create a mix of warm cheese and meat to eat with potatoes, gherkins, pickled onions, pickled small corn, olives - really great on a very cold night. Big Thanks!
