Challenge Tour: Wengen Hike

Day three got you to Wengen — now take a breath. No bikes today. John walks you through how to spend your rest day: the two easy hikes he keeps coming back to (cable car up to Männlichen, the ridge walk over to Kleine Scheidegg, and the gentle drop back down through Wengernalp), why a Coop picnic beats the crowded mountaintop restaurants, and whether that pricey trip up to the Jungfraujoch is really worth it. Along the way there's a bit of history on how the railways clawed their way up these peaks, a few notes on Swiss hiking etiquette, a rainy-day plan B if the weather turns, and where to track down a good fondue come evening. Plus one important reminder about your bags before you leave town tomorrow.
