Wengen to Grindelwald First and Murren in 1 day?
A traveler is planning a June trip to Wengen with another couple in their early 60s. They want to visit the Grindelwald/First Cliff Walk and are curious about travel times and routes between Grindelwald and Murren on the same day. They need advice on how to manage the day efficiently.
- Allocate half a day for visiting the First Cliff Walk to enjoy the scenery and have time left for Murren.
- Travel from Wengen to Grindelwald either by train or via a cable car to Mannlichen, which both take about an hour.
- To reach Murren from Grindelwald, take the train to Lauterbrunnen, switch to a funicular, then the mountain railway.
- Consider using the SBB timetable for planning your journey and connections.
AI-generated summary-
I am planning our June 2022 trip and will be staying in Wengen. We are 2 couples in our early 60’s. We want to go to the Grindelwald/First Cliff Walk but most likely won’t participate in the other activities. How much time do you think we will spend there just admiring the scenery – how long does it take to get up and down from the First Cliff Walk. We are also hoping to go to Murren on the same day – do you think that is possible and what is the best route to get from Wengen to Grindelwald/First, then to Murren, then back to Wengen? Thanks for input.

Hi Heather CDN,
Wengen-Grindelwald First-Mürren is definitely do-able in 1 day if you don’t plan on doing any long hikes.
The First Cliff Walk is a fairly easy trail about 100 metres in length. You basically walk on a metal walkway that is built around a mountain cliff. There’s a viewing platform at the end and also a restaurant with a big terrace overlooking the beautiful surrounding mountainscapes. I think allocating half day for this trip is sufficient. So you’ll have the rest of the day to explore Mürren.
There are a two options to travel from Wengen to Grindelwald. 1 – Take the train to Grindelwald and then walk or take the bus to the Firstbahn cable car station. 2 – In Wengen take the cable car to Mannlichen, then the gondola down to Grindelwald Terminal and then train to Grindelwald/ Firstbahn cable car station. Both journeys take about 1 hour.
