Lets face it...if any of us were offered a free holiday in our "lesser favoured resort" then we'd take it!! I've never stayed in Murren, and can't ever see me chosing too, but I really missed the opportunity to ski the Schilthorn when we went in Jan this year.

D G Orf, Yes, once and I've also luged down the path - that was scary!!!
Chris Brookes, What road? Evidently new since I was last there. We actually skied through the forest (and I remember it was very steep and the trees were very close together, but I was dead proud to be taken along!
brian, I've been to both and still think the Eiger Nordwand is the most impressive mountain I've ever seen. It's MEAN, it tries to kill you, and it positively emanates evil. The Matterhorn is pretty in contrast! Don;t get the same feeling off it at all.

easiski, I call it more of a road than a footpath due to its width now plus seeing the occassional vehicle on it in the summer. In the summer it can lead you to Isenfluh. It must have changed since you were last on it because it isn't steep at all now. No doubt they have changed it to make it safer for all to use.

Chris Brookes, the road was always there, well a track was, but I think now they use it as the base for the piste down, wheras a number of years ago it was either not marked as a piste or not pisted at all.
There are other routes that have changed for instance the Bumps area below Wengenalp used to have a nice mogul field but it's now pisted so often that the moguls just don't build up, or that there was once a nice black run down the Mannlichen but now they piste across almost the whole width of the slope making the runs easier and reducing the difficulty down to a Red.
Mind you it's not all bad this progress lark, they have got rid of the Lauberhorn and Mannlichen drag lifts and I understand they now piste down from Piz Gloria and the Cannonen Rohr so no 6ft high moguls to hit in bad weather

D G Orf, I agree as when i was young my instructor ' Hans Otto' took me down it and i always remember how narrow it was back in the days !! The moguls on the Schilthorn do still appear but now more or a slight bump,if you get my meaning .

When you visited Murren did you ever go on the Schilgrat T-Bar (now a 4 seat Chair)?

You know it makes sense.
|
Charlatanefc, only what's up on my website, I hope one day to be able to sit down and do a really good website, I can't recall what it was you sent me, and assuming it was prior to Christmas then it was lost when my hard disk died a horrible death, however if you still have the info please send it again and I'll add it to the Grindelwald side when I have a little time to spare
