Hiking
The overnight stay before the stage in the Hotel Schynige Platte is worthwhile. Nice rooms, good dinner and breakfast, nice atmosphere in the evening and in the morning, few people and you can get an early start in the morning. The latter is an advantage in uncertain weather to arrive in First before afternoon heat storms.
