Hello there. I'll be staying in Gimmelwald for four days in September and plan on doing a lot of hiking. I checked into the construction schedule for the new lift up the mountain, which currently has this message: "For safety reasons, the Thrill Walk at the Birg station is temporarily closed or only partially accessible. On the Schilthorn, some viewing spots are closed. However, the large terrace is still accessible without restrictions. The construction work has no effect on railway operations or restaurant services on the Schilthorn."
I'm staying so close and it'd feel criminal not to go. But wondering if any of you who live there or have been recently can comment about the degree to which the obstructions make the visit less worthwhile.
Many thanks,
Andy
