Cows rest under murky skies, in the fields surrounding the Bachalpsee, a lake above Grindelwald in the Berner Oberland of the Swiss Alps


Cows rest under murky skies of First, above Grindelwald, in the Berner Oberland of the Swiss Alps. The Bachalpsee offers spectacular views of the moutain peaks surrounding this prime pasture, full of wild flowers and grazing Swiss cows. Cows bells, and gorgeous scenery are found from the trails around Grindelwald, that lead to the Bachalpsee, Grosse Scheidegg, Schynige Platte and Mannlichen. There is a viewing platform at First, where one can see the spectacular mountains that rise above Grindelwald. There is the Wetterhorn, Eiger, Monch, the Shreckhorn, and Jungfrau, with elevations over 13,000 feet. First is accessed by way of gondola from Grindelwald, taking the traveler first to Borg, where there is a wonderful restaurant, playground, and trot bikes to add to the Swiss Adventure. From Grindelwald, one can also access Mannlichen at the base of the Eiger where more mountain trails await.
