From Zürich: Grindelwald, Interlaken & Lauterbrunnen Day Trip

Think of the Swiss Alps, and the idyllic Bernese Oberland as well as the crisp snow-covered mountain tops of the Jungfrau come to mind. This tour includes visiting the famous mountain resorts of Grindelwald (aka Eiger or Glacier Village) and Interlaken, which is tucked away in an alpine valley between the mountain lakes of Thun and Brienz.

Begin with a scenic journey to Interlaken, the heart of the Jungfrau region. After a quick orientation from your friendly guide, continue onwards to Grindelwald. Along the way, take in the stunning views of the impressive mountains surrounding you, including the iconic triple peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. In your leisure time and on your own dime, you can choose to go on a cable car ride to the sunny terrace of Mt. First, and try the 40-meter-long Cliff Walk by Tissot. You could also hop on a trotti-bike (a fascinating blend of a scooter and a bicycle), should you wish to go speeding downhill Grindelwald. Please note that this is available only during summer.

In the afternoon, hop on the bus with your guide and journey to Lauterbrunnen, a storybook village cradled between sheer cliffs and tumbling waterfalls. This enchanting valley, home to 72 waterfalls, once sparked the imaginations of literary greats like Goethe and J.R.R. Tolkien. Take a break to roam the quaint streets, soak in the alpine charm, and gaze up at the majestic Staubbach Falls—Switzerland’s third-highest waterfall and a true icon of the region. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and create fond alpine memories before you meet your guide in the late afternoon for your return journey.
