After waking up and having breakfast at the Essential in Interlaken, we realized the weather was going to be poor with rain and snow. We decided to go to places that we’ve been before, starting with Eigergletscher where it was snowing. We followed up with Kleine Scheidegg and Lauterbrunnen before returning to Grindelwald First and Eigergletscher again. We ended the day with dinner in Interlaken.
