We did not rent a car but took the swiss railway system everywhere in the country. It is very extensive (and expensive!)

Grindelwald is a touristy-place that fits the sterotype of a swiss mountain town...

The best thing about Grindelwald is the spectacular view of the mountains from the town.

Jon enjoyed the views from a restaurant desk and from the patio of the Belvedere Hotel where we stayed.  There is a recurrent theme in these patio pix...

... and there were lots of tourists...

Of course, we did a lot of alpine hiking while we were there...
