How to travel around Wengen-Mürren area
-
We will be visiting Switzerland from 14 September to 30 September, and will use the Swiss Travel Pass. For 8 days we will stay at a hotel in Muerren. I’ve read some posts about getting around in the Muerren- Gimmelwald-Lauterbrunnen-Wengen-Grindelwald area using various modes of travel (train, cable car, hiking), and would like to experience that too. To visualize what we have to do to get from Point A to Point B in each segment of our day, I’ve tried getting information using maps and the SBB timetable. However, I have a problem specifying the name of a location on the SBB timetable. For example, to get a cable car from Wengen to Mannlichen, what should I enter? I entered ‘from Wengen to Mannlichen’, and tried ‘Mannlichen (Luftseilb. Wengen). But when I looked at the journey information, I read that this ‘Operates 3. Aug until 15. Sep 2019 daily (Wengen Wengiboden -> Männlichen (Luftseilb. Wengen))’. What does this mean? What about from 16. to 30. Sept? That’s the time we will be there.
Here’s the sequence of what I would like to do in a day : 1.train from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen; 2. cablecar from Wengen to Mannlichen; 3. Hike from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg as far as we can take it (we’re not seasoned hikers; we just want to do some light walking, and rest every now and then; is this something you think can be done by a casual walker? is there a train that comes along that will pick us up at any point here? ). Can we even aspire to somehow get on the Eiger Ultra Trail and enjoy the view, and eat there at Grindelwaldblick? 4. Train to Grindelwald Grund; eat at Pizzeria Grund; 5. Return from Grindelwald Grund to Muerren (via Lauterbrunnen?)
Does this look reasonably doable in a day? I would appreciate getting your feedback, and any words of wisdom about this plan. Thank you very much.
