Faulhorn (outstanding viewpoint)

Up the Faulhorn (2,681 m/8,796ft), one of the most renowned viewpoints in Switzerland, from which the giant peaks of the Bernese Oberland can be seen in all their magnificence: either by the chair-lift (30minutes) to the First station and from there an hour's walk north to the Bachsee or Bachalpsee (2,264 m/7,428ft), or a 3.5 hours' walk from Grindelwald to the Bachalpsee; then 1.5 hours' climb to the summit (Berghotel, summer only).
