Day 1 – Monday
You’ll start your adventure in Zurich
You’ll leave Zurich and reach Lauterbrunnen by train
Explore the town (I’ll send you a map with the highlights I recommend you visit). You can take your lunch in Lauterbrunnen at the yyy restaurant and try the local röstis (a potato pancake served with melted cheese and meat).
At 3.50pm you’ll take the train from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen, then the aerial cable car all the way to the mountaintop (last ascent at 4.50pm), where you’ll stay overnight. You’ll be able to eat at the restaurant on top of the mountain, and do the short 45mn hike to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in Switzerland.

Day 2 – Tuesday
You can wake up with the sunrise on the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains and simply enjoy the view until the first cable car arrives, which is not before 9.00am! You’ll be alone on top of the mountain. Enjoy the delicious breakfast at your restaurant, then you can take the cable car back down to Wengen and head to the train station.
There, you can take the train up the mountain all the way to another mountaintop (22 minutes), where you’ll be able to enjoy another beautiful view and eat your lunch at the Chaletbar (try the Grindelwald burger!) then explore a little bit around.
You’ll then take the train back to Wengen, then go back down to Lauterbrunnen. You’ll then go to the top of yyy, one of the most iconic mountains in Switzerland.

We’ll be on a beautiful road-trip taking us to iconic passes in Switzerland. We’ll start at 9.30am by heading to the train, where we’ll go up the mountain at 11.00am in a very special open air train, the steepest passenger funicular railway in Europe. Up there, we’ll enjoy the view on the lakes and mountains, from 11.12am to 12.24pm.
We’ll then head back down and take the car to the pass for lunch with a view (from 1.00 to 2.00pm approximately).
We’ll then head back down to the lake, where we’ll enjoy the view on a green lake surrounded by green rocks. We’ll walk a little bit on the hiking path, just enough to leave the road behind us and to be just by ourselves, surrounded by the mountains (from 2.15 to 3.30pm approximately).
Then we’ll head to town through an iconic pass, where we’ll stop for photos, then we’ll drive all the way to town.
Your hotel offers a 25m pool overlooking the stunning mountain scenery of the Ursern valley, a large fitness area with Technogym equipment, two saunas and a steam bath.

In the evening, your train will leave from Lucerne and head to Zurich, arriving before dinner time. That will be the end of our adventure together.
