Itinerary Details

Embark on a captivating journey with us, starting as our driver-guide picks you up from your accommodation in Zurich and takes you through the charming landscape of Switzerland, to the Valley of Lauterbrunnen, also called the Valley of 72 Waterfalls.

From there, ascend to the magnificent Grütschalp using the panoramic gondola, setting the stage for your exhilarating hike to Allmendhubel 1900m above sea level.

You will be able to explore at your own pace in this self-guided experience. With the provided description of the way, you will be navigating the well-marked path by yourself.

The trail will lead you through the alpine meadows below Schilthorn (2970m), where blueberries thrive, and cattle graze as you relish the breathtaking view of Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger – the most iconic mountains of Central Switzerland.

After approximately 2,5h, a total of 5km and 480m of elevation gain, you will reach Allmendhubel. Here, the Panoramic Restaurant awaits you with local refreshments. Nearby, a Flower Path offers informative displays for both young and old, educating visitors about Alpine fauna.

After a well-deserved rest while soaking in the alpine views, you will continue with a short hike down to Mürren or in case your feet are already tired, you can take the funicular directly at the Panoramic Restaurant (Funicular Tickets not included). From Mürren you'll comfortably descend via gondola to Stechelberg, all the while enjoying breathtaking vistas of the numerous waterfalls and steep cliffs that grace the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Your dedicated driver-guide will be waiting for you at the Station in Stechelberg and you can choose between two options:

1) Take the hiking path out of the scenic Lauterbrunnen Valley (5km) and have your picnic at a spot of your choice.

2) Or our driver-guide will take you to a scenic spot on the shores of Lake Brienz to enjoy your picnic and have a swim in the crystal clear water.

Concluding your day, our driver-guide will safely bring you back to your accommodation.
