Hi everyone,  Just booked to go to this campsite.  can anyone reccomend it and what around the site to do.  Booked it on a friends reccomendation but not 100% convinced about it though.

Camping Jungfrau is a good quality site with everythink you need in a wonderful location.You dont say what youre interests are but if you like hiking theres fantastic walks on youre doorstep.

Theres also the cable car to the summit of the schilhorn or the train to Wengen/Klein schedgg and Jungfraujoch.Both are a bit of a tourist trap but worth it in good weather.Dont waste youre money if the clouds down.

Trummelbach falls are preatty good.You catch a lift inside the mountain and then walk past a series of waterfalls inside the mountain.

The only real way to see the area is by foot and some of the great walks in the area are as follows.

1) Wilderswill train to scynige platte and walk the Faulhornweg to first or if a strong walker to Gross schedgg.I walk and climb in the alps every year for the last 20 yrs and this is in my top 10 walks.

2)Train to Klein schedgg and walk the Eiger trail to Alpiglen,good path easy downhill route that cuts across the awesome north face of the Eiger.

3)Walking ascent of the schilhorn via the rotstock hut,airey ridges and big drop offs dictate a high level of experience but it is an awesome walk/scramble.

4)walk to oberhornsee,

If you need anymore ideas for walks let me know.

Found this, not sure if it any help.

We have stayed at Camping Jungfrau four times over 12 years and love it. If you are there for Swiss National day there is a fantastic firework display - but not for dogs.  we have to sedate ours.

I would add that the walk from Schynige Platte down to the middle station of the train is fantastic also.

I wish that we were going again this summer, but too much work and not enough time.

Off to Germany and Luxembourg with the van and some friends next week - but only for 6 days unfortunately.

Still, you can do a lot of shopping at Luxembourg prices in a few days !

Michael

Sorry to gatecrash, just to say hi to Michael and I see you have a new addition - Holly!

Ali

Hi Ali

We have had Holly for just over a year now. She came from a collie rescue charity in Sussex, but was rescued from southern Ireland.  She is about two years old now.  Heidi's nose is still a little out of joint.

Cassie had to be put to sleep in January while we were in Austria. For her the crisis and the end were quick.  As I'm sure you know it is not so easy for us.

Nice to hear from you. Where are you off to this year ?

Michael

Aw Michael I am very sorry to hear that, poor Cassie.  I am facing the end with one of my scotties possibly and it is never, ever easy.

Holly is gorgeous and is very lucky to be living with you now, I bet she can't quite believe her new life!  We have had our fortnight, in fact today is the last day.  As you know our domestic situation with the Olds means we can't go long distance for the time being so we have a caravan that is on a seasonal pitch in South Devon.  We have had it for 2 years now but this is our first year seasonal.  We bought a 2 man kayak so we have had great fun at Brixham and Exmouth and for once, good weather!

One day we will travel again and resume our regular Austria jaunts, I am missing it so much.  Hope your house in Niederau is living up to expectations.

Ali,

Sorry to hear that you also face the awful decision with one of your Scotties. It is never easy, but you have to love to live, and death is part of life.

House is great.  Hoping for a realignment of work-life priorities that will allow us to spend three months this winter in Niederau.

Michael

Fantastic!  I am very envious but I do know you have worked hard for it so long may you enjoy your dual lifestyle.  I can see our future is increasingly likely to be in a country outside of the UK........ but we can't plan anything for the time being.

Have a great summer.

Sorry to the thread originator for the hijack, humble apologies.

Ali
