Hi Faberj, thanks for joining MySwissAlps!

It’s certainly possible to do (parts of) panoramic train routes within one day from Lauterbrunnen/Interlaken. Some suggestions:
- Travel to Montreux by GoldenPass and travel back via Bern and Thun: https://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass
- Travel to Lucerne by GoldenPass and travel back via Bern and Thun: https://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass
- Make a day trip to Zermatt and back with the RegioExpress Lötschberger: https://www.myswissalps.com/lotschberger
- You can even do part of the Glacier Express route as explained under “Don’t have time to do the full route?” at https://www.myswissalps.com/glacierexpress.
You can plan such trips with the aid of the “Route” sections of our train pages (e.g. https://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass/gettingthere, https://www.myswissalps.com/lotschberger/gettingthere and https://www.myswissalps.com/glacierexpress) and the timetable. This page explains how to use it: https://www.myswissalps.com/timetable.

Many of the normal trains and cogwheel trains within the Jungfrau region are very scenic too. Please see https://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrauregion/activities for suggestions.
