The Jungfrau region has so many fun activities for every season that it would be overwhelming for guests to scroll through a long list with links. We hope the highlights above will inspire you and below are some ideas for summer based on your length of stay. These ideas aim to maximize time and make use of the mountain transport in the most convenient way.
Day 1: Be on the 7am train for the Jungfrau Top of Europe. If the path is open, take the 2.5 hour round trip to the Mönch hut. On the return journey, back get off train at Eigergletscher station and walk to the old Mittellegi mountain hut where you can glimpse bygone alpine pioneer era. Then head down to the Fallbodensee (lake) and the Eiger presentation. The head to Kleine Scheidegg and catch the train to Wengen. Hop off here for a village stroll of a quintessential almost car free village. Buy some freshly baked goods and walk through the main street then veer left to the white church and sit on the bench below to enjoy the classic glacier valley view of Lauterbrunnen below. Join the train again for Lauterbrunnen and then enjoy the Staubbachfall and walk up to the grottos behind the falls. Continue along the farm road and turn left into the Camping Jungfrau. Enjoy a coffee of meal there and be sure to look back at the Staubbachfall. Walk through to the Weisse Lütchine river and cross the classic covered bridge. Turn left to walk along the river back to the apartment or walk on to Trummelbach falls (link to time) if time permits. You will need to be on the first 7am train to Top Of Europe to accomplish most of this itinerary.
Day 2: Today, is on the other side of the valley to the Schilthorn. To get a good start of the day, catch the bus to the Schilthorn Bahn station. Be sure to go early so that you can also admire the dazzling Mürrenbachfal behind the station. Take the cable cars to Gimmelwald, then Mürren then Birg. Experience the Thrill walk here and spend an hour to walk behind the Brig station and down to the little Grauseelie lake and maybe you will see a perfect reflection. Catch the cable car to the Schilthorn, depending on the weather, enjoy the James Bond museum there and lunch at the revolving restaurant. If it is your birthday you can get a free ride to the Schilthorn.
Ride down to Mürren and stroll through another car free village before either walking down through village house and gardens or catching the cable car back to Gimmelwald. At Gimmelwald there is a spectacular view to be seen with a local Schwarz Mönch beer at the Mountain Hostel and visit the Honesty Shop. Depending on your time, you could go out to the Sprutz waterfall and walk behind this amazing waterfall. Or you could walk through to the Chilchbalm valley and touch a glacier.
Walking down to Stechelberg from Gimmelwald will take around 90 minutes as you enjoy waterfalls along the way and through steep alpine forest. At Stechelberg hotel you can enjoy refreshments of ameal in their garden and catch the bus back to the apartment or walk the 2 hours home.´´ along the farm path and Weiße Lütchine.
Day 3: Take the early trains around to Grindelwald, walk through the village to the First cable car on your left. A day walking around these paths, enjoying the Cliff walk, some go carting, a zip line flight but first visit the famous Bachalpsee. This Lake reflects the massive Schreckhorn 4078m and is another photographic beauty. If you enjoy longer hikes, you can walk this classic Berner Oberland mountain trail to Schynige Platte in about 5 hours. Here there is beautiful alpine garden, refreshments and you can travel with the nostalgic cog rail to Wilderswil. A train back to Lauterbrunnen and dinner at one of Lauterbrunnens’s seven restaurants will be a reward. If you haven’t hiked, you could still travel to Schynige Platte from Grindlewald with the train.
Day 4: If you would like a thrill view of the valley, a tandem jump or paraglide experience is on your list today. If not, you could walk to the Trummelbachfall to discover this hidden waterfall inside the mountain. Continuing your walk along the valley to the Schilthorn Bahn or Stechelberg watching the local farming activites, or BASE jumpers, counting the waterfalls and thinking about how Tolkein saw this valley.
From Stechelberg, a hour’s walk to the 1780 silver smelting plant of Trachsellauenen is worth while as the walk along the raging Weiße Lütchine to the Berghaus is spectacular. Usually open for a light meals in summer, it is an impressive panorama of the summit on several three and four thousand meter peaks. Here you can consider taking the full 7 hour circular hike on another day to walk past the mighty Schmadribachfall.It is the tallest in the valley at around. 275-325m.
Day 5: The stunning UNESCO 7 hour circular steep hike from Stechelberg via Obersteinberg and Oberhorn is around 15.5 kilometers long, includes an ascent of 1,350 meters in altitude and a descent of 1,350 meters in altitude.
Alternative and less energetic experience is taking the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp and then walking the classic Alpine almost flat path to Mürren. You will pass several falls, cross the Staubbach river, see an alpine cheese facility at Winteregg where you can also enjoy refreshments. (For MTB folks, the Gretsh trail leads down from Grütschalp.).
You can explore more of Mürren, the indoor wellness centre, enjoy a walk up the Almend Hubel or the North Face walk or the Sprutz waterfall that you might have run out of time for on day 2.
For thrill-seekers, there is the chance to walk around the Cliff via the Ferrata clipped in and with a guide. Finishing with the Nepalese bridge at Gimmelwald you will feel incredible and really enjoy a refreshment at the Mountain Hostel and drink in the fantastic view. Many Paragliders also take off from Mürren and there is a lovely queit spot to sit behind the tennis courts and enjoy the valley views.
Day 6: Choice of several hikes today.
A bus ride to Isenflue and the cable car to Sulwald and then hike about 2 hours and 8 km to via Suslbachwaterfall, Balm, Sausläger meadows and Spryssenwald to Grütschalp. Or you can add another 2 hours and walk Sulwald to Chüebodmi veer right to Suls, the lake of Sulssewili and the Lobhornhut where there are simple meals in summer. Follow the track back to Chüebodmi or take the earlier path right to Sausläger. You then walk through the Spryssenwald to Grütschalp. Depending on your time, you can take the 2 hour forest track down to Lauterbrunnen rather than the cable car.
An alternative is to catch the train to Wengen, or walk up, then take the cable car to Männlichen, or walk up the steep mountain that is part of the EIger Ultra marathon trail. Walk to the top of Mänchlichen and then to Kleine Scheidegg, a classic 2 hour walk facing the Eiger and Jungfrau the whole way. From Kleine Scheidegg you can walk an hour up to the Lauberhorn behind you and then down to Wengenalp and Wengen, about 2.5 hours. Or from Wengenalp via the Preece forest to the back of the Trummelbach falls in the valley (about 2 hours).
Or from Kleine Scheidegg you can take the Eiger trail to Grindelwald. Or the UNESCO trail down the valley to the Wixi ski lift and back up to Wengenalp. So many options.
Longer stays invite longer walks such as a stunning walk from Schilthorn to Rotstock and Gimmelwald. It is easy to walk a different route every day for a month within this Berner Oberland region.
