Here is some further detail on the planned routes to and from Grindelwald.

The Google map links are for info and the times and distances are based on Garmin routes. I’ll add some potential lunch stops into the GPX routes and circulate these nearer the time.

For a few of the days there are alternative routes which we can pick on the day.

As we will be a fairly large group going out we may well split up. Some of the group may prefer an early start to allow getting to the destination in time for some sightseeing, whereas others might prefer a more leisurely departure. We can decide nearer the time how this will work.

Don’t forget to order a Swiss Motorway Vignette (£32.00 and select free postage to UK): https://switzerlandtravelcentre.co.uk/excursion/motorway-vignette-switzerland/

For Triberg to Fiss you will also require an Austria vignette - €9.20 for a 10 day pass from https://shop.asfinag.at/en/
