I continued on up to... by Pegasus74
I continued on up to Eigerwand, which is two stations away from Jungfraujoch, but close enough to see Jungfrau's peak smoulder and the phenomenal jade-white glaciers bite onto the massive rocks. Also from Lauterbrunnen, you may take a cable car up to the revolving restaurant which sits on the 2970m Schilthorn, where James Bond performed his stunts in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The peak offers views of hundreds of Alpine peaks and is almost as popular a destination among mountain lovers as Junfraujoch's. The return cable car fare costs 83 CHF, nearly half of that of Junfraujoch. These spectacular mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and lakes, plus scores of charming villages and holiday resorts collectively define the Bernese Oberland. This completed my 6 days visit to Switzerland. Sweet! Though time was chasing me out, I have had good moments of it. One thing for sure, except for being lost in the beauty, my navigation skills have improved tremendously. On the way back to Geneva to catch a night train to Barcelona, I swung by Switzerland's capital, Berne. Because I had to make a transit here. I couldn't do much but wandered around the vibrant city's arcaded streets, which were packed with tons of people. But I will come back again to appreciate its charm. Till then.
