One of my favourite locations :-)

Mine too, I went there last August and made a point of going to the
Aletsch and Rhone glaciers. They have carved a tunnel in the Rhone
glacier and you can walk though it, very pleasant when it was nearly
40 C in the lower parts of the Rhone Valley, in Valais Canton.

Strangely, large numbers of Japanese people in Grindelwald.

Couldn't afford the train trip to the Jungfraujoch, sadly.

Well worth doing though. We wouldn't have afforded it either, except that we
were given tickets that took us most of the way up by some fellow campers who
were leaving. Such is the cameraderie of campsites.

The view from the top is probably stunning , although you have to pick your
day. We didn't! We simply used the reamaining day on the 5 day tickets. We
enjoyed the walkabout on the snow, despite our spinning heads and shortage of
breath. And yes, there were lots of Japanese tourists, all happy and
smiling, lovely people.
