An overnight hut stay on Faulhorn, near Grindelwald.

I join 19 women who are part of the Swiss Mountain Girls on their hut stay for the year. The adventure starts at Grosse Scheidegg, where we hike to the Faulhorn berg hotel in the view of the Jungfrau glacier. We bond over Fruchtkuchen, Älplermagronen and watching the sun set and rise.

It was my first big adventure since the Via Alpina - and I was grateful to join this group of wild women in the Swiss Alps.
