Schynige Platte -> Faulhorn -> Grosse Scheidegg

We did this walk in two days, spending the night at the Faulhorn.
Day 1:
Von Wilderswil (584 m) with the cog railway up to Schynige Platte (1967 m). On the Panorama Weg via Oberhornberg (2069 m) and Egg (2125 m) to Mändlenen (2344 m) and on to the Faulhorn (2680 ), stay overnight at Faulhorn Hotel (~ 4 “Alp-Hours”, 5 ½ “greg-and-andrea-hours”)
Day 2:
From Faulhorn (2680 m) via Bachsee (2265 m) to First (2167 m), then to Grosse Scheidegg (1962 m), by bus down to Grindelwald (1034 m). That was an easy, lazy Sunday stroll on a wheelchair-accessible autobahn, but very scenic.
