From Zürich: Day trip to Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lauterbrunnen

A drive over the Brünig Pass takes you into the Bernese Oberland to Interlaken in the Jungfrau Region. After a short stop, you'll head on to Grindelwald, a popular destination for active holidays. You have 3.5 hours of free time to explore the mountain village at your own pace.

First, take a stroll through Grindelwald and enjoy the stunning Alpine scenery. If you want to discover the mountain backdrop a bit more closely, a visit to Grindelwald-First is definitely worth it.

You'll find plenty of thrills on the "Tissot First Cliff Walk." This platform juts out 45 meters into the void. To get there, take the cable car to Grindelwald-First, also known as the "Top of Adventure."

You'll continue by bus to Lauterbrunnen, a village nestled between high cliffs and waterfalls. The Lauterbrunnen Valley, with its 72 waterfalls, inspired writers like Goethe and J.R.R. Tolkien.

The village features picturesque streets and the impressive Staubbach Falls, the third-highest waterfalls in Switzerland. In the afternoon, the journey back to Zurich begins, accompanied by fresh mountain air and many memories.
