Day trips from Interlaken with Swiss Travel Pass
A traveler plans a family vacation at Hotel Interlaken for two nights at the end of April. They want to visit Murren, Gimmelwald, Lauterbrunnen, and Schilthorn in a day, seeking advice on efficient travel with minimal hiking. They already have Swiss Travel Passes.
- Take the cable car from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald, then to Murren, and finally to Schilthorn for a scenic experience without hiking.
- Check for spring maintenance schedules since some routes may be closed during that time.
- Consider adding a visit to Trümmelbach Falls if time allows, as it's a spectacular attraction nearby.

Interlaken to Schilthorn involves no ‘hiking’ whatsoever, just a few paces walking here and there, since both ways to reach Murren are rail or cableway links, with a short bus link between Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg on the Gimmelwald route.
The two routes are:
Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen – Stechelberg – Gimmelwald – Murren – Schilthorn. Beware closure for spring maintenance Stechelberg – Murren 24 – 28 April
Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen – Grutschalp – Murren – Schilthorn

Hi DJL1,
You can take the cable car up from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald and then hike to Mürren and then take the cable car all the way up to the Schilthorn. Or take the cable cable car straight up to the Schilthorn and walk back from Mürren to Gimmelwald or straight down to Stechelberg.
If you have some time left i recommend visiting the spectacular Trümmelbach Falls when they are open.
Have a great trip
Martin
