Hello fellow travelers,
I've posted my 13-day itinerary on here earlier this year but have a specific question regarding one leg of the trip. We're spending 3 days, 4 nights in the Colmar/Alsace region and then making our way towards Lauterbrunnen. The current plan is to ride trains on the morning of July 2 from Colmar (technically Kientzheim - bus/then train) to Lauterbrunnen but that looks to be about 3.5 hours at least.
Considering stopping over for one night (maybe two?) somewhere in between Colmar and Lauterbrunnen to break up the trip. Considering Bern or Thun or Spiez area. Wondering if anyone knows of any nice B&B stays or other lodging in those areas and if you think that's a good idea? I know we want to get to Kandersteg to hike Oeschinensee sometime on our trip, so that would be a shorter ride from the aforementioned areas than Lauterbrunnen - but no guarantees on weather while we're close by of course.
Thanks in advance! FYI, leaning towards staying outside of the cities, so long as we can bus/train fairly easily :). But we'd be open to a variety of options...
