Day 1: Grindelwald

A person walks on a suspension bridge in a mountainous area with lush greenery and misty peaks in the background.

Grindelwald, a picturesque village in the Bernese Alps, is known for its dramatic scenery dominated by the towering Eiger mountain. Take the gondola to Grindelwald First for an exhilarating experience combining breathtaking scenery and thrilling adventure. Hike to Bachalpsee. The hike is relatively easy, making it suitable for families and hikers of all skill levels.

The trail to Bachalpsee takes you through breathtaking alpine landscapes, with rolling meadows, distant glaciers and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. From there, you can either hike back to First and take the gondola down to Grindelwald or continue your hike to Bort, for even more incredible views. Once you reach Bort, take the gondola or hop on a Trotti bike to enjoy a fun and scenic ride back to the village.

Day 2: Männlichen Royal Walk

A majestic mountain with snow-capped peaks towers over a lush green valley with a solitary building.

Start the day with the Männlichen Royal Walk, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the three iconic peaks: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. After soaking in the panoramic vistas, take the gondola down to Wengen, and then hop on the train to reach the charming village of Lauterbrunnen. Spend the rest of your day wandering around and soaking in the beauty of Lauterbrunnen, the enchanting valley of 72 waterfalls.

Be sure to visit the impressive Trümmelbach Falls, a series of glacial waterfalls hidden within the mountain. Afterward, take the train back to Grindelwald and end your day exploring the stunning Grindelwald Canyon.
