๐Ÿ“ Schynige Platte – SAVE THIS POST! This is one o ๐Ÿ“ Schynige Platte - SAVE THIS POST!

This is one of those hikes Iโ€™ll remember forever - it was beautiful yet challenging and I felt a sense of accomplishment ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป โ„๏ธ ๐Ÿ”๏ธ ๐Ÿฅพ 

Schynige Platte offers sweeping views of Interlaken via the Panorama trail and also has a a flower garden, restaurant, and hotel! ๐Ÿ’ 

A few tips:

1. Check the weather before arrival via their official sites โ„๏ธ โ˜€๏ธ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ The hike may be closed for the season (June - October) or due to weather.

2. Wear waterproof hiking shoes ๐Ÿฅพ We wouldnโ€™t have been able to hike in the snow, ice, and mud without them! If the weather is perfect on or before your arrival, you would be fine in trainers. I would recommend poles as well if the trail isnโ€™t in ideal conditions. 

3. Wear layers ๐Ÿงฅ Weather, man! ๐Ÿฅต ๐Ÿฅถ 

4. Bring sun gear ๐Ÿงข There isnโ€™t much shade on the trail, so bring your sunscreen & hat!

5. Have a plan ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ There are several different versions of the Panorama Hike. Do you want to do the full hike? Partial hike? There are various options ~45 minute, 2 hour, and 6 hour. There are some great blog posts we found that included photos of signage on the trail (admittedly navigating them isnโ€™t the easiest). 

6. Be flexible โฐ Schynige Platte may be shrouded in clouds. If you want the views, you may need to change the day or time of day you visit!

7. Be ready to get on the ๐Ÿš‚- The trains donโ€™t have assigned seats and fill up. There was one instance where a few people didnโ€™t make the train and they would need to wait for the next one. We were ready 30 minutes before departure but some people showed up 2 minutes before and got on before us ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ There unfortunately isnโ€™t a queue, so be ready to hope on right when the doors open!

This small village with 1,300 residents year round stole my heart! Around every corner was magic โœจ Wengen is picturesque views, church and cow bells, birds chirping, and quiet pedestrian-only streets that make you feel at peace ๐Ÿ”๏ธ 

You know those places that become special to you for one reason or another? Wengen is one of those for me. ๐Ÿฅน

Of course each person is different - itโ€™s always so cool to hear and see people fall in love with places that pass you by - but sometimes a time and a place calls you home ๐Ÿก

You wonโ€™t be alone, but that means youโ€™ll have someone to take your photo! ๐Ÿ“ธ

Las Brisas in Laguna Beach is conveniently located along a beautiful beach walk, one of the main beaches, and areas for shops / restaurants! ๐ŸŒŠ 

Dishes are quite large and perfect for sharing! They have a fixed brunch menu with bottomless mimosas if thatโ€™s your thing ๐Ÿฅ‚ 

@inkind_hospitality has a great promotion there that we used for both brunch and dinner! (Not sponsored, just a great way to save when dining out!) ๐Ÿ’ฐ
