-
Our trip is getting close and we are really excited. So much good info reading other posts. Steph gave me some advice on an earlier post and I’ve used similar posts by others and responses and have finished our itinerary for me and my son and would like some advice on whether this sounds doable with my time assumptions. I’ll post a trip report when we get back for all the great advice on this forum.
Day 1
Murren to Mt Shilthorn – 2 hr including time on mountain
Shilthorn to Gimmelwald – 30 mins
Gimmelwald to Stechelberg – 1 hr includes some time in Gimmelwald
Stechelwald to Trummelbach Falls and back to Lautenbrunnen – 2 hrs with combination hiking and bus? Can Staubbach Falls fit into 2 hrs?
Lautenbrunnen to Grutschalp – 30 mins
Grutschalp to Murren hike – 90 mins
Total – 7 to 8 hrs with Tim for lunch
Day 2
Murren to Wengan and cable car to Mannlichen – 1 hr
Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg hike – 90 mins
Kleine to Grindelwald – 30 mins
Grindelwald to Pfingstegg round trip and toboggans – 2 hrs
Grindelwald to First round trip ( recommendations on Flying Fox variants, Cliff Walk, mountain scooters?) – 2 hrs
Grindelwald to Murren – 90 mins
Total – 8 hrs
Day 3
Murren to Interlaken Ost – 1 hr
to Harder Kulm round trip – 90 mins
Interlaken OST to St Beatus Caves round trip – 2 hrs ( bus to and back is 30 mins so is 1 hour enough at the caves?)
Interlaken to Murren – 1 hr
Total – 6 hrs with lunch ( if these times work could do Staubbach Falls on the way back to Murren)
Day 4
Murren to Meiringen – 2 hrs
Arae Gorge – 90 mins includes travel time to east entrance
Reichenbach Falls and museum – 2 hrs including time from gorge west entrance and back to Meiringen. What I am not sure about is whether this time depends only on bus.
Meiringen to Murren – 2 hours
Total – round up to 8 hrs
Appreciate any advice, fatal flaws, etc and sorry for the detail. I’m an engineer, which should explain it!
Thank you
Jess

Hi Jess,
Engineers rock! I would say you are all over it.
Can Staubbach Falls fit into 2 hrs?
You walk right past them on the left as you approach Lauterbrunnen from Stechelberg (not wald).
Enjoy.
Thanks Rock. Have you used Rome2Rio? I haven’t seen it mentioned here but I found it really quick and easy to get every mode of transportation including walking for time planning an itinerary down to the smallest point to point increment.
Hi Jess,
Yes I use Rome2Rio often. It can be quite handy indeed.
