Since Rosenlaui was so remote and back at least a century we didn’t have wifi, nor access to the weather. Good thing because within minutes of starting up the hill to Grosse Scheidegg we had to don our rain gear once again and it’s better to be surprised and acquiesce rather than stifle your dread. Actually the two different days we hiked in the rain have been almost enjoyable. Not really cold and not much storm, just steady light to moderate rains. Our ultralight rain gear is more than adequate, for those of you wondering how our 3 oz rain coats work.

Not many photos just a few climbing up to the pass before the rain and a couple after on our descent into the Grindelwald valley.

After the rain clouds subsided we started getting glimpses of the Wetterhorn and even the Eiger itself. Wish you could see all of it with us, but this foggy shot will have to do.

Maybe this 3D Apple Map screenshot will give you a better feeling for the alpine setting.
