Hi
After spending 2-3 days at Stans, Lake Brienz and Interlaken I will take a train from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen.
Now I have 4 days to stay in this area. Not sure from where to start. For now I have booked 2 days in Lauterbrunnen and then 1 night in Grindelwald.
But I want to see the following places: Murren, Schilthorn, Cliff Walk at First, Grindelwald village, Wengen village, Gimmelwald, Jungfraujoch.
I just listed down them – they are not listed in specific order. As I was going through the routes I am getting more and more confused. Which ones to start from Grindelwald and which ones would be better from Lauterbrunnen. I was also looking for not so difficult family type hikes ( 1 1/2 hr to 2 hr one way max ). if i can add any hike in this itinerary. I can add one more day at Grindelwald if it makes sense.
Also which travel pass would give me easy access to trains / cable cars / gondola rides at discounted rates.
Regards
Ajay

Could you explain more fully your actual itinerary – and what you mean by “2 – 3 days in Stans, Lake Brienz and Interlaken, then Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen”?
I ask this because every place you mention except for Stans is within a very small area, therefore you can reach all the places from single base.
Remember that Switzerland is a small country. The Bernese Oberland region is a small region in a small country. The Jungfrau area is an even smaller area within the Bernese Oberland (the Jungfrau area itself is smaller in size than a large city such as London or New York)
12th aug I will be reaching Zurich.
12th night in Stans. do sightseeing near Stans.
13th aug in Lake Brienz – 1 night stay
14th aug to 16th aug Lauterbrunnen
16th aug to 17th Grindelwald
From 14th to 17th I wil be in Grindelwald / Lauterbrunnen. Now Ilisted down all that I wanted to visit in this area. I was thinking do i need to add one more day and then go back to Interlaken.
So From 14th to 17th I wil be in Grindelwald / Lauterbrunnen. how do i go about seeing these towns / places..Murren, Schilthorn, Cliff Walk at First, Grindelwald village, Wengen village, Gimmelwald, Jungfraujoch.. In which order? logically where do i start from? do i need to add one more day at Grindelwald – i dont want to rush into anything. Is there any place where i can do not so steep/difficult hike? .etc..
Hi Ajay,
The Jungfrau region is serviced by an excellent transport system and it’s possible to do all your sightseeing from just a single base. So choose to either stay in Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. My pick would be Grindelwald if you prefer a mountain setting. You can find hotels options here: http://www.myswissalps.com/grindelwald/hotels. Here’s a sample itinerary for 3 days in Jungfrau region.
Day 1 – Arrive in Grindelwald. Excursion to Grindelwald First in the morning, then explore village in the afternoon and short trip to the Glacier Canyon or Pfingstegg.
Day 2 – Excursion to Schilthorn in the morning. Spend afternoon exploring Mürren and Lauterbrunnen. If you have time, I suggest doing the hike from Mürren to Winteregg. This is a fairly easy and flat trail.
Day 3 – Excursion to Jungfraujoch in the morning. Spend afternoon exploring Wengen and Männlichen.
Hope this gives you some ideas on how to plan your Jungfrau itinerary.
regards,
Anna
