Day 1 | Arrival

Departure in the morning and drive into the impressive mountain world of the Bernese Oberland to Interlaken. The traditional holiday resort is beautifully nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, surrounded by a breathtaking Alpine panorama. Interlaken is considered one of the most famous starting points for excursions in the Jungfrau region and delights with its unique location between water and mountains. After arrival, the room allocation at your hotel takes place. Take the opportunity for a first walk through the charming town with its elegant Höheweg promenade, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding peaks.

Day 2 | Bern

Today you will take an excursion to the charming capital of Switzerland, Bern. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town impresses with its unique medieval cityscape and is picturesque framed by a loop of the turquoise Aare River. You can enjoy a particularly beautiful view of this impressive river loop from the elevated Rose Garden, which also invites you to linger. During a guided city tour, you will discover the most beautiful sights of Bern: the imposing Federal Palace, seat of the Swiss government, the kilometer-long covered shopping arcades with their historic vaulted cellars – the so-called Lauben – as well as the famous “Zytglogge,” the medieval clock tower with its fascinating figurine play. The numerous fountains, small alleys, and lovingly preserved facades also give the old town its special charm. After the tour, you will have plenty of time at your disposal to stroll through the alleys, relax in one of the cozy cafés, or make individual discoveries. In the afternoon, return to your hotel.

Day 3 | Grindelwald

After breakfast, you will travel to the idyllic mountain village of Grindelwald, which impressively lies at the foot of the mighty Alpine backdrop. Even during the journey, you will repeatedly enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding peaks. Upon arrival in Grindelwald, the imposing mountain giants Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger with their famous and feared north face come into your view – an unforgettable sight. Afterwards, you will take a ride on the traditional cogwheel train up to Kleine Scheidegg. During the leisurely ascent, you can enjoy spectacular views of the alpine landscape, lush alpine meadows, and rugged rock formations. Once at the top, a unique panorama awaits you with a direct view of the famous Eiger north face. On the sun terrace of a rustic mountain hut, you can take in the fresh mountain air and the fascinating scenery in peace. In the afternoon, you will descend to Lauterbrunnen, which, with its impressive valley of 72 waterfalls, is one of the most beautiful regions in Switzerland.
