My husband and I did several easy hikes around Murren last October. This year we were thinking of trying the hike to the Schilthorn, also around the 2-4 of October.
I have three questions:
1.) How long will the hike take? We have an 80 year old Mom traveling with us, and will want her to take the cable car up to meet us. So we need an estimate of how much time it will take us.
2.) Having been to the top of the Shilthorn before, that last part of the ascent looked pretty scary, as I was looking down at it. I hear there are chains(?) to help you on the very narrow ridge. How narrow is this ridge? I guess I want to know how scary this will be ?!?
3.) I assume we can ride one way back down to Murren on the cable car with my Mom. Has anyone ever done this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
