Trip Report Chaeserrugg - Switzerland

[missyd]

I did only one hiking tour this year. We (myself and Anita my love) went to the east of Switzerland. We went up to Chaeserrugg with the help of a cable car und a gondola. The hiked along the crest and then after a picknick we hiked downwards to the car park. As usual I got problems with my knees and so more than 1/2 of the hike was rather painful for myself.
I also had big problems with vertigo. From the top you can see the valley floor down below (thats more than a mile). But in the end we had a good time and the views where just fantastic.

On the way down ... no I'm not going up ...

Panoramic view with the Walensee lake.

View of the Rhine valley. to the other side of Chaeserrugg.

Wow, that's pretty steep! No wonder your knees hurt! Incredible, incredible scenery.

You're right ... it was much much steeper than we expected ... !!!!
But the scenery is so fantastic that it was worth all the pains and efforts we made! :D
