Anyone got any idea whether Flybe are doing their Birmingham to Berne flights for next season? I've had a quick look around their site and can't find any mention...

Looking at the Inghams Earlybird brochure it states they are doing it again and the flight departs at 07.30 every sat in the winter season
The winter timetable should be out at the end of June (last year it was the 3rd July 07)

Chris Brookes, about 8 years ago someone base jumped there and either their chute failed or became twisted, something equally disasterous occured, unfortunately they fell to their death, to make matters worse they had an open mike and screamed all the way down

D G Orf, IIRC 2 people died on the one jump (may be the one you were referring to). One had a failed chute and the other was blown back into the cliff. Either way, I don't think I'll be trying it!

Elizabeth B, Don't know, it might be the same incident but I thought only one person had died that day

It's hot as hell at the moment after a month of rain. I was boarding on the jungfraujoch today in shorts and t shirt, bit sun burnt now though.

Just got back from a really sunny week there. No sign of stab, so I guess he must have been up high all week?

A few walks. I wanted to do the Faulhorn but the path was closed due to too much snow. They'd opened the Eiger trail so did that. Went for a sail on Brienzsee, Brandegg for apple fritters and Winteregg for breakfast. Also managed a day trip to Zermatt through the new tunnel.

I never been to Zermatt, is it worth the trip and how long did it take you from Lauterbrunnen ?

Zermatt is stunning on a clear day. I'd only ever been in the winter, so it was nice to go and see it when the fields were green, although I did notice people with ski gear and feel a little bit jealous.
From Lauterbrunnen, the journey is 2h 41 mins each way. Other than the bit in the tunnel, it's a pretty spectacular journey. We set off at about 8.30 and arrived back in Interlaken at about 6. Obviously it would have been nice to have had longer, but it was enough time to get a flavour of the village, and go up on one of the lifts.

Ronald, good find !!
OMG !!.....thats excellent news as the Winteregg chair is so bloody slow and its a pain to ski back to Murren to get to the Schiltgrat area.
The only thing from what i read is that its only at the planning stage at the moment so it could be a while

I guess they see the Winteregg lift as a higher priority. For those coming from outside Murren, it's where most will enter the lift system, hence making the place more attractive.

true..again
The last few years they have widened the forest area going down the freeride to Gimmelwald so maybe the next stage would be changing Gimmeln T-Bar to a 4 detachable chairlift and starting it in Gimmelwald. I think the reason they havent down this before is due to the land owners .

You may well be right, I know that this is the reason that The Arven and Lauberhorn chairs are just far enough apart to make going from one to the other a pain

Take the Arven 16:28 and then manage to get a seat on the Lauberhorn
