This is a classic Alpine hike,which is easily undertaken in a day by the reasonably fit and has the added benefit of a low carbon footprint as access to the start and finish is by rail. You take a train from Interlaken to Wilderswil and then the cog railway to Schynigge Platte at 2000m for breakfast with spectacular views of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. You then follow a well signed path to First, enjoying magnificent views of Interlaken, Thunersee and Brienzersee. You can take the option of lunch at Berghaus Manndlenen and then on towards the Faulhorn which boasts the oldest Alpine hotel in Europe at 2600m. You then descend towards First via Lake Bachalpsee before taking a well earned drink at the cable station and then descent to Grindlewald and a train back to Interlaken. There is the option of an extension to the walk by continuing to Grosse Scheidegg and taking the postbus to Grindlewald. (Tip -check the times of the cablecars for the descent from First before you start.)
