The cable car is so stable and the atmosphere on the mountain is great. There are different things to do in different seasons. In addition, the sky is very straight. People who are not afraid of heights must try to check in. The nature is really beautiful.
One of the most beautiful places in Switzerland, the scenery is much more beautiful than the scenery seen at the top of Jungfrau. Take the cable car to the first mountain station and then hike. The scenery along the way is amazing. You can participate in various fun activities when you get off.
There is nothing to say, it is a hundred times more beautiful than climbing the Jungfrau. Looking at the Jungfrau from afar, the hiking is accompanied by beautiful scenery. Walking to the Bahe Alp Lake is even more open. It is so beautiful. This is the right way to open Switzerland.
It's a very interesting and healthy project to go to Felster Hiking. First of all, it takes 26 minutes to go up by cable car. It's said to be the longest cable car in the world. There are two other places to come down and play other projects, and if you just walk, you can sit directly on the top of the mountain. It takes 50 minutes to walk from the top of the mountain to the lake. It's also the shortest hiking event. Sit on it with a broad view and beautiful scenery. The mountains and peaks make you constantly amazing in the changes of light and shadow. The whole journey is not very difficult, it is a very meaningful journey and activity.
From Greenwald to Felst by the Felst Sky Cable Car, there are towering and beautiful mountains nearby. The top of the mountain is covered with white snow. At the end of the cable car is Felst, at an elevation of 2168 meters. There is a cliff trail near the cable car station, which is the best way to appreciate Felst's view. At the end of the trail is the Sky Walk, and at the bottom of the trail is the use of reinforced glass. Glass composition, can challenge the strength of your heart, startled to see the steep mountain height.
Living in Greendwa, it's very convenient to go to the Felst viewing platform. The cable station is just beside the town. After ten minutes'walk, we can see snow mountains and glaciers on the viewing platform. We can walk for an hour to reach the alpine lake. The cowbells and white clouds around us seem to be at hand. It's very beautiful.
Beautiful scenery everywhere, very atmosphere, feel very relaxed here, walking here is very comfortable, unlimited scenery, sit on the first cable car, a long distance, less than half an hour, can hardly be more beautiful. It's highly recommended to visit here, but plan the route well.
You can take a cab to the top, and then there are countless routes to hike to many places. There are cattle grazing leisurely on the mountain, and there are many tourists. Walking on the cliff trail is scary, but also very happy. The Eiger Peak is right in front of you, majestic and stunning. Walking on the downhill trail, you will be integrated with nature, tired but refreshing.
