As we enjoyed our last breakfast at The Alpina Hotel, we noticed that the weather had…

…fined up again. So, let’s go climb some mountains, to 3000m above see level… with the aid of a series of four gondola rides.

On the ride up, we wondered why there were almost no seats in the gondola. On the way back, it was standing room only.

Lots of construction going on. Pretty challenging worksite. Half of the existing facility is closed off.

The top station, at Schilthorn, featured in a 1968 Bond film. They promote it a lot, with half the place dedicated to a range of multimedia exhibits.

On the return trip, we explored a couple of the other stations, including a sky walk and a mostly car free town. Beautiful.

Charging:

The carkpark has about four destination chargers, but they were all taken. The side charge port doors of some EVs are ridiculously large.

We parked further down the car park. A van pulled up beside us and kept their engine running for ages, ruining the air and peace. Why do people do that? Eventually a German accented man walked up to the driver and asked him to turn off his engine.
