The Most Popular Trail in Switzerland

We decide not to go up to the Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest train station, because it just seemed like too long of a train ride for a two year old. Inga was super cranky that day so I know it was a good decision, but I really wished we could have gone to the top. It was the perfect day. Instead, we hiked from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. The trail is well deserved of all its hype. It was pretty crowded, but all the hikers were very polite. We had a great time and even found another couple playgrounds.

We ate our sandwiches at the Mannlichen cable car station and took in the sights. Inga was ready for a nap at this point and not interested in pictures.
Inga did not want her picture taken. She will thank us in the future for getting this iconic shot.

My ultimate Swiss picture: cow and Jungfrau.
I loved the juxtaposition of the cow and BMW ad.
My good little hiker waking up from her nap.
We ate a snack and had some beers at the Berghaus Grindelwaldblick above Kleine Scheidegg. Inga made friends with some other kids and taught them to say "mountain".
