HIKING THE SWISS ALPS WITH OUR DIRECTOR, JOHN

Our Sales Manager, Denise Vogler, who is originally from Switzerland, offered to be a guide for John as he went on a trip to hike the Swiss Alps.  So in May of 2006, the trip began with a flight to Germany and then a drive over to Switzerland.  Together, they saw the most spectacular views of Mountains (including Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau), Glaciers, Lakes, and a beautiful little town called Grindelwald.  Each day, they would take a cable car up above the tree line and begin a new hike.  From Schreckfeld to lake Bachalpsee, to Grosse Scheidegg.  From Mannlichen, across Tschuggen, to Kleine Scheidegg.  Even the views from the balcony of their rented Swiss Chalet were breathtaking!
