Tzirel
"Yes definitely! It was the perfect way to enjoy the gorgeous views of the Lauterbrunnen valley and surrounding mountains! Obviously it was somewhat scary, given the height and challenge, but in the best way possible. The guide was excellent, and it wasn’t as overwhelming as we thought. 10/10! "
