To introduce some friends to Switzerland, in early October I would like to do a circular day trip via Grindelwald to Jungfraufoch and then go Murren via Grimmelwald, but need help with timings etc. if it is indeed possible to do. We are all in our 60’s, relatively fit and early starts are not an issue.

I have found train timetables and see that they all leave the various stops every 30 minutes, but I have not been able to find out how to get to the Strechelberg cable way from Lauterbrunnen and on up to Murren.

I also need to know how long each leg of this part takes and should we stop for a look in Grindelwald or Grimmelwald? [I haven’t visited either before] or is the day going to be full enough.

I have walked from Murren to Grutschalp in the past and would like to do so again but don’t recall how long this takes – I’m thinking 1 hour – Could you please remind me? Or should I find a similar walk somewhere around the circle that is equally easy and scenic?

Also how much time should I allow at Jungfroujoch?

We will be travelling on Swiss Passes and I understand that from Grindelwald to Wengen is not covered by the pass but is reduced by 25%. Is this correct?

Many Thanks

Hi Flying_Kiwi and welcome to MySwissAlps!

You can use the timetable to find all trip duration’s. If going from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch and then to Murren via Stechelberg you can enter that in the timetable and it will give you the options: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable

Then from Stechelberg back to Interlaken (via Grutschalp) at the end of the day to do the round-trip.

You can see details on how to travel to Murren here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/murren/travel

Hikes in the Jungfrau region, including the one to Grutschalp, are noted here and have all details you need: https://www.myswissalp s.com/jungfrauregion/a ctivities

The savings with the Swiss Travel Pass to Jungfraujoch are correct, you can see details for that trip and others here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisstravelpass/ validity

Below is a link to a clever little graphic of the area (note mis-spelling of Gimmelwald) (no ‘r’ )
