Hi everyone,
I have the chance to head to Switzerland in December for a really low fare.
I know the Berner Oberland pretty well, and have stayed in Lauterbrunnen and Gimmelwald.
This trip, I want to hit the Christmas markets, so will probably spend half the week based in Lucerne, but I can't go to Switzerland without going to the BO. I will be arriving just as the lifts are opening up, and am hoping to just bop around to different peaks, take some train rides and poke around.
I know it has a bad reputation on this site for being too touristy, but I was wondering if at this time of year, Grindelwald might not be too bad. I'll be on my own, and would like the ability to walk to dinner, etc... I have no problem hopping on the trains to get up in the mountains if the weather is good.
Thoughts??
