Day excursion from Interlaken to Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg

Immerse yourself in a powerful natural world, traveling by mountain railway to the foot of the notorious Eiger North Face. The journey takes you through alpine meadows and forests with dramatic views of mountain peaks. The Village walking tour traces the history of the village from its first settlement to modern times. Enjoy the story of the first visits by tourists and winter sports development including the world famous Lauberhorn ski race. Explore the chocolate box beauty of the architectural buildings set upon the backdrop of the Jungfrau massif.

Meet in Interlaken and purchase transport tickets. Board the regional train to Lauterbrunnen. The twenty minute journey follows the gorge formed by glaciers and the glacial meltwater of the Weisse Lutschine river with dramatic vertical rock walls. Wengen is not accessible by car and we will take the cog railway from Lauterbrunnen with panoramic views of the iconic trio of mountains - Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau which takes about twenty minutes. The walking tour traces the history of the village and explores the streets focussing on the architecture and the stories behind its development with an optional refreshment pause at a local inn or cafe. We then ascend by cog railway to Kleine Scheidegg at the foot of the Eiger North Face. Return to Interlaken Ost station. Approximately two hours. Alternatively I can pick up and drop off by car to drive to the Lauterbrunnen valley.
