In the morning we left the Hotel Belvedere in Wengen, cogwheeled down to Lauterbrunnen and then we driven by private coach via the
Grimselpass to Bettmeralp. Here's some info on
cycling the pass
Bus was fine, but a bit hair raising watching those cyclists. And there were motorcycles all over the place.

At
Betten we took the gondola to Bettmeralp, another car-free resort village, this one on the south side of the alps.

The Hotel Waldhaus is small, family-owned and quite close everything. We checked in, and then attempted a stroll through the village but the heavens opened so we only got to see the grocery store. Our room is great - the Eagle's Nest

Hotel Waldhaus is courtesy of TripAdvisor on the fifth floor with views to die for.
