Itinerary
Welcome to Lauterbrunnen! Grüezi! Our trip begins in the charming town of Lauterbrunnen, home to 72 cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs, and beautiful alpine meadows. In 1911, J.R.R. Tolkien visited this same area and was so inspired by the valley that he later crea...
Hike to Obersteinberg (~4.5 miles). Today we trek through the meadows of the valley, in the shadows of paragliders with waterfalls cascading overhead. As we ascend through the forest, you will enjoy astonishing views of the Breithorn and a number of surrounding glacie...
Hike to Mürren (~6 miles). We begin the day with an (optional) invigorating morning hike to Oberhornsee, a secluded alpine lake at 6,770 feet- the perfect spot for a morning dip! Today’s hike begins with an uphill push, and then we descend into the valley (2500ft/760m...
Mürren. After several days of hiking, treat yourself to some R&R in Mürren, or do more hiking! Whether you decide to do the optional hike, fly through the valley while paragliding, relax at a spa, and/or take a gondola up to Piz Gloria (a restaurant and viewpoint that was used in the filming of the 1963 Bond/007 film), you will fall in love with this gorgeous town and surrounding area!
Hike to Kleine Sheidegg & Alpiglen (~7 miles). In the morning, we take a gondola and train across the valley to the town of Wengen where we start hiking again. Today’s hike is on a beautiful, wide path with stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains...
Hike to Grindelwald (~3.5 miles). Today’s hike is almost entirely downhill (2000ft/600m elevation loss) to the town of Grindelwald, one of the most famous and picturesque in Switzerland. After completing the hike, you can stay in the town to shop and sightsee or partake in some of the exciting activities the area offers such as mountain carting, skydiving, or paragliding. Auf wiedersehen!
