If you have more time, we recommend adding a day trip to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, or Interlaken. Activities such as visiting the Trummelbach Falls, skiing, or snowboarding are readily available for winter travelers. Suppose you prefer a more budget-friendly trip or traveling during the summer season. In that case, you could try to walk around the town and take pictures of the surrounding mountains yourself, dine at a local restaurant to enjoy Swiss delicacies, and walk the trails if available.
