About this experience

This tour is perfect for those who want to experience the beauty of the Lauterbrunnen Valley without a challenging hike. Starting in Lauterbrunnen, we take a short gondola ride up to Grütschalp and begin an easy walk along a mostly flat trail. The path follows the scenic mountain railway line and offers spectacular views over the valley of 72 waterfalls and snowe covered peaks.
After reaching the car-free mountain village of Mürren, you’ll have time to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere before descending back to the valley via the steepest gondola in the world.
To top off the experience, we visit the Trümmelbach Falls – a powerful series of glacier waterfalls hidden deep inside the mountain.
Along the way, we also prepare and serve you a great Swiss picnic with carefully selected local products, so you can fully relax and enjoy the scenery without worrying about food.
On the way back to Lauterbrunnen, we walk past cow farms, and enjoy the view of the famous Staubbach Waterfall.
