above the tree-line in the Swiss Alps: a hiker's dream
Hiking down the Schilthorn may be hard on your toes, but it's a high-altitude feast for the rest of your senses...From the Lauterbrunnen valley south of Interlaken, you can take a cable-car up to the summit and then hike down to Mürren, across from the Jungfrau massif. A big block of chocolate (Swiss, of course) makes for a great hiking companion on a summer day in the Alps...
It's hard not to sound like tourist-brochure-jargon when describing this area--it truly is one of the most beautiful places on the planet...
