    Grindelwald, Switzerland

    Anyone ever try to hang or tent camp there? I'm nearby for the next few weeks with all my gear
    Any tips/tricks about sites/trails/water... would be appreciated.

    Oh yes!

    This is one of my favorite places on earth! As far as camping is concerned though, um, don't have much input. Water sources are EVERYWHERE.

    There are rim trails along the cliffs overlooking Lauterbrunnen. More day hikes than anything. However, not too far away you could go on some really long trips I'm sure.

    Btw, the water is EXTREMELY cold due to it being mostly snow melt. .

    Anyway, I know it's not much help but still.... I wish I was there right now!

    Love the place ... camped in the fields below the Eiger. However this was back in the early 70's and guess like me ... any info would be way out of date!

    It's expensive there and I imagine that still holds true today but man is it one beautiful part of the country.
