Penultimate Full Day in Chalet School Land


The Alpenhof: possible site of the Chalet School?
Started off the day by doing some "little things" that weren't going to take much time, but were quite important to me. The first was the location of the Chalet School. It is generally agreed that the Alpenhof Hotel is the SITE of the Chalet School. Having been here and conducted my own experiments, I'm not so convinced. However, when I'm back home and have access to all the books, I'll read up all possible mentions before I stick my neck out!!

I also "trespassed" and took a couple of photos of the Alpenhof. And spookily, just after having taken the photos I bumped into the owner of the Hotel Post and obtained an update on the current status of the building, which I'll be sharing with FOCS in due course. As it was a hot day (in the high 20's!) and our week's travel pass had run out and we were still suffering from the aftereffects of our hike up the Feilalm, we decided to have day of rest in the hotel's swimming pool and sun lounger area. Wish we'd tried that earlier . . .
