Will itinerary be affected by closings? Please help!
 

Hello all and thank you in advance for your help.

I have been working on my itinerary in Switzerland and after finalizing it I am realizing that I might have been mistaken about the opening times on the BO...
I was under the impression that all lifts started to open at beginning of May, but I went to the Mannlichen site and the timetables start on May 31...

Day 1 on my itinerary is May 21, which will put me in the BO May 23, could you please help me and tell me if what I have included will not be possible due to closings?

If so, could you suggest alternatives?

Most lifts i believe operate all year and esp for the winter ski and sports season but close for a few weeks in May, a down time here for maintenance. Not sure all close but some do

How are you planning to get from Lauterbrunnen to the Trummelbachfalle? Post bus?

(BTW, definitely make that visit if at all possible...great fun and unforgettable)

Trummelbach is also a short walk from Lauterbrunnen

Well I wrote the contact at the Mannlichen and they're going to be closed until My 31st...bummer! I guess we'll only go up as far as Kleine Scheidegg... are there any hikes around there that anybody can recommend?

I was planning on walking to the Falls.

Thank you guys!
