Walking Inn to Inn: A Self-Guided Hike in the Swiss Alps
Walking Inn to Inn: A Self-Guided Hike in the Swiss Alps details a hiking route in the Berner Oberland (Bernese Alps). The trek begins in Engelberg and travels in a southwestern direction before sweeping in an arc through the dramatically beautiful Jungfrau region. The book includes maps! The linked hiking route involves six days of trekking, but the actual duration will depend upon the weather and the pace at which you travel. Most sections of the hike correspond to roughly a half day of walking, but the duration can be changed by using transportation when available or by changing the overnight stops. Those with limited time can start at virtually any point along the route, or take advantage of suggestions for day hikes and excursions. Each section of the hike has its own character. Some trails meander through pastures and wooded areas, while others traverse high plateaus or follow sheer rock ledges. A few sections are demanding, while others are suited to anyone able to walk the distance. For each section, the level of difficulty is described to help determine its suitability for your group. For challenging sections, we suggest alternate routes for easier walking. We also describe lodging and emergency shelters along the route, as well as bail-out opportunities on trails that intersect with transportation routes. In addition to offering a detailed hiking itinerary, Walking Inn to Inn contains advice on travel preparation, hiking gear and safety, flight destinations, gateway cities, rail passes, transportation connections, and overnight lodging. Created for active vacationers who seek an independent hiking experience, Walking Inn to Inn is your personal guide through the spectacular Berner Oberland. Be sure to take it with you!
