After arriving in Interlaken, take the train to Grindelwald and ride the gondola up to First to kick off your trip with the airy First Cliff Walk by Tissot, where the glass platforms and suspension bridge give thrilling close-up views of the north face. Follow the cliff walk with a leisurely hike along the Bachalpsee approach trail (short, well-marked sections) to enjoy alpine meadows, mountain reflections, and a café break with coffee and rösti before descending to explore the village streets of Grindelwald.
Descend back toward Interlaken and catch the funicular up to Harder Kulm for sweeping views over the lakes and Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau skyline; linger on the panoramic viewing platform and enjoy a late-afternoon drink at the Harder Kulm Panorama Restaurant as the light softens. After taking in the vista, stroll the easy lakeside path along Höheweg toward the center of Interlaken, popping into a chocolatier or outdoor café before an early dinner and an easy evening preparing for tomorrow's trip to Mürren and the Schilthorn.
Wind down with an aperitif at the cozy terrace of Restaurant Taverne in Interlaken Ost, then take a short evening cruise on Lake Brienz to soak in the pastel sunset reflections and quiet alpine shoreline. After the cruise, savor a relaxed dinner featuring local cheese fondue at Restaurant Stadthaus before returning to your hotel for an early night and final gear-check for tomorrow's Schilthorn adventure.
Catch an early cable car from Lauterbrunnen up to Gimmelwald and transfer toward Mürren, arriving in time for a hearty breakfast at Hotel Edelweiss Mürren before you ascend the final stretch to Schilthorn. Once at the summit, take in the 360° panorama from the rotating Piz Gloria restaurant, then return to Birg to brave the exposed Thrill Walk with its suspension platforms and dramatic drop views, finishing with a short ridge warm-up on the well-marked North Face Trail approaches that lead toward the Mürren alpine meadows.
After the adrenaline of the summit and the Birg Thrill Walk, stroll back into Mürren village and settle at the sun-drenched terrace of Hotel Edelweiss Mürren for a leisurely alpine lunch with panoramic views. In the early afternoon, follow the scenic Allmendhubel flower trail via the funicular to the ridge-top playground and sculpture meadow, then take the gentle panoramic path toward Scheidalp for wildflower-filled meadows and unobstructed vistas of the Lauterbrunnen valley before descending for a relaxed dinner in village.
After descending from the high ridges, unwind with a twilight stroll through Mürren village and pause at the sunlit terrace of Restaurant Eigerblick for Apéro and mountain-view snacks as the alpine glow deepens. Finish the day with a cozy dinner at Hotel Bellevue's dining room, sampling regional specialties like rösti and raclette while listening to soft local folk music, then take a short moonlit walk to the peaceful viewpoint at Sunnebüel before returning to your lodgings.
Start early from Grindelwald Grund and catch the mountain cable car to First, then follow the well-marked trail up through alpine meadows toward Bachalpsee, pausing at the lakeshore for mirror-like reflections of the peaks and a coffee from the seasonal First-Beizli kiosk. After soaking in the view, continue a short ridge walk toward Faulhorn junction to enjoy panoramic glacier glimpses before descending via the forested path back to Schynige Platte station to prepare for the afternoon panorama trail.
Descend from the high ridge toward First-Beizli then catch the mountain railway to Grindelwald Bahnhof, where a short transfer brings you to the Schynige Platte cogwheel train for the classic panorama ascent; once atop, follow the framed Panorama Trail that curves past the historic alpine botanical garden and several carved viewpoints for unbroken vistas of the Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau trio. Pause at the timber Schynige Platte Restaurant for a late-afternoon slice of apple tart and a hot drink, then stroll the easy ridge path to the charming Loucherhorn viewpoint for golden-hour photos before descending toward the valley station and an easy dinner back in Grindelwald.
After descending toward the valley, wander into the timbered courtyard of Bort for a relaxed apéritif on their terrace before catching a short bus to Wilderswil; there, take a gentle riverside stroll along the Weissen Lütschine to watch kayakers and the alpenglow deepen. Conclude with a hearty mountain-style dinner at Restaurant Alpenruh (local trout or cheese specialties) and finish the night with a quiet digestif on the hotel balcony, listening for distant cowbells and the hush of the valley.
Begin with an early valley stroll to the base of Staubbach Falls, where misty spray and dramatic cliffside views are perfect for morning light photography before a coffee at the riverside Café Oberland. From there catch the short bus to Grutschalp and board the mountain train toward Mürren/Gimmelwald, then detour to the quiet hamlet of Isenfluh for a bracing meadow walk and panoramic lookout over the Lauterbrunnen basin before returning to Lauterbrunnen to visit the thunderous, accessible lower entrances of Trümmelbach Falls for up-close glacier-water chutes.
After the morning's big-water visits, take the cable car from Lauterbrunnen up to Wengen and follow the sun-drenched ridge trail toward Männlichen for gentle panoramic hiking and sweeping views of the valley below; pause at the wooden terrace of Berghaus Männlichen for a late lunch of rösti and cold-pressed apple juice while watching paragliders drift past. Later, continue on the well-marked footpath down to the peaceful alp of Kleine Scheidegg to stroll the view platforms that frame the Eiger's north face, then descend by cogwheel train back to Lauterbrunnen for an evening aperitif beside the river.
After returning to the valley, head to Hotel Jungfrau Lodge's terrace for an apéritif while watching the last light wash the cliff faces, then stroll to the nearby riverside picnic meadow at Blick auf Lauterbrunnen to listen to evening cascades and pick wildflowers. For a memorable finish, take the short evening shuttle to Gimmelwald viewpoint for a twilight panorama followed by a cozy alpine dinner at Berghaus Gimmelwald-savor local raclette or trout and a warm herbal tea as stars appear above the valley.
