The Niederhorn

Wednesday 28-7-10

Today we went by cable car up to the Niederhorn, nowhere is the scenery above LakeThun, with the mountains (Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau ) more enjoyable.
Next was a bus trip from our accommodation through to Inverlarken to do some shopping, (as if we haven’t done enough ) along very narrow lakeside roads barely enough room for one car at a time yet it was two way traffic. We both bought Swizz watches and some local souvenirs.

Left Inverlarken and selected dynamic route on the GPS and we set off, well dynamic we got travelling along narrow mountain roads until we got to a railway siding where we had to pay 20 swizz francs to put the car on a train to travel through a 16 KM tunnel in the car on the train. After getting off the train, we travelled higher into the Alps where there was snow all around then going through a narrow mountain pass into Italy there the scenery changed as we drove thru small towns and villages until finally reaching Lake Como a spectacular place. Booked into Como Crown Hotel which was overpriced and not in a very good location.
