Day 25 - Wengen - June 21

Travelling by train from Zermatt to Wengen the scenic route which requires 4 train changes but with our trusty SBB app (Swiss railway app) we made it.  Cloudy, misty and threatening to rain in Zermatt so a good day to travel. Was cloudy when we arrived in Wengen but sunny and warm after our tour of the town.
Kandergrund on the way to Wengen. Amazing geology - those mountains don't look so big but they are huge. 
 Kandersteg on the way to Wengen.
View of Lauterbrunnen from Wengen.
Arrived in Wengen to see the Jungfrau from the road down to the hotel.
The view from the balcony of our room looking to the left - we can just see the Jungfrau but if I lean out any further I might not make it to dinner.
The view from the balcony of our room looking straight out.
A lovely welcome at the Edelweiss Hotel, Wengen. Welcome chocolate, biscuits and unlimited pod coffee. What a difference a day makes, we are really pleased with this hotel and Wengen.  It is much smaller and nowhere near as touristy as Zermatt. Thomas, the guy that runs the hotel is a chef and has a four course set menu each night if you choose to eat here. Fabulous dinner. Anyone who can make lentil soup fantastic has to be a genius!
Lauterbrunnen, in the valley below us, is fogged in this evening.
