HIKING THE SWISS ALPS WITH OUR DIRECTOR, JOHN
Our Sales Manager, Denise Vogler, who is originally from
Switzerland, offered to be a guide for John as he went on a trip to hike the
Swiss Alps. So in May of 2006, the trip began with a flight to Germany and
then a drive over to Switzerland. Together, they saw the most spectacular
views of Mountains (including Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau), Glaciers, Lakes, and
a beautiful little town called Grindelwald. Each day, they would take a
cable car up above the tree line and begin a new hike. From Schreckfeld to
lake Bachalpsee, to Grosse Scheidegg. From Mannlichen, across Tschuggen,
to Kleine Scheidegg. Even the views from the balcony of their rented Swiss
Chalet were breathtaking!
