Begin your adventure by exploring the magnificent Lauterbrunnen Valley, surrounded by towering peaks and waterfalls. Take a thrilling 10-minute cable car ride to Grütschalp and then continue by train to Mürren. From there, hike the 5-mile trail to Trümmelbach Falls, cascading inside a mountain. Enjoy the scenic beauty throughout the trail and feel the adrenaline rush in the exciting but comfortable hiking trail that is perfect for those who love adventure.
Experience the magical Interlaken Greenwall, a nature-lover's paradise that offers stunning views of the region's mountains, lakes, and valleys. The Greenwall is a unique natural landscape, whose harmonious combination of artificial and natural elements has an impressive impact on visitors. Walk through the lush, green paths while enjoying a panoramic view of the Alps. Afterwards, take the funicular to the top of Harderkulm to enjoy sweeping views of the region and grab a bite at the mountain's restaurants.
End your trip by enjoying the historic beauty of Bern. Take a stroll in the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the rarely preserved central European city. Visit Bear Park for a fascinating experience, observing the species in their habitat, or explore the gardens, playgrounds, and shops in the old city. Bern’s most iconic landmarks include the Cathedral, Zytglogge Clock Tower, and the paved streets of the Old Town. The town is a hub for adrenaline-fueled activities, including bungee jumping, river-rafting or outdoor activities such as mountain biking, climbing, and skiing.
Public transportation around Switzerland is efficient and punctual, so getting from place to place won't be a problem. The Swiss Pass is the most valued transport pass, giving the traveller unlimited access on all types of transportation networks, including Swiss railways, boats, buses, and trams for 3 or 4 consecutive days. The starting price of the Swiss Pass is roughly around 235 CHF, which is a cost-effective option for those planning to travel across the country.
If you have extra time, consider taking a day trip to Jungfraujoch, the highest train station in Europe, located in the Alps. Additionally, you can take an adventure-to-extreme level on a paraglide flight over Interlaken’s picture-perfect landscapes. For those interested in culture, consider visiting the Einstein Museum in Bern or the History Museum in Lausanne. If you have a little less time, cut your Interlaken stay shorter, visiting places on the mind-blowing Greenwall trail or skipping the Bear Park visit.
The country’s main airport is Zurich Airport (ZRH), situated 12 km north of the city center. The airport offers shuttle buses to the major Swiss destinations, including Bern, and Lucerne. You can fly directly to Bern if you are not coming from far, but it’s best to check with your airline provider for available flights. After arriving in Bern, travel to Lauterbrunnen Valley via train, and move to Interlaken using public transportation.
