Rode 7 different trains today from Pontresina near St. Moritz, half way around Switzerland, stopping for lunch at Luzern, to Kandersteg, in the Berner Oberland, near nothing. That makes about 20 different trains since our travels began. Trains were all close to on time (& if late, the connection waited for us), clean, quiet & comfortable. If Churchville were in Switzerland it would have a train station with frequent service, connections to anywhere in the US, & helpful agents who would print out a complete itinerary to anywhere with all connections, arrival & departure times, & track assignments. And, for about 15 dollars (no $ sign on this German keyboard) they would ship your bags any where, within 24 hours.
Kandersteg is the quintessential Swiss alpine village. Nestled among soaring peaks, with traditional Alpine architecture. Tomorrow we find out what the hiking is like.
