How to best see & do activities in Wengen
-
Hi everyone.
My husband and I are traveling to Switzerland & France on Sept 10th for 16 days, with 8 days in Switzerland. We have our location itinerary pretty much worked out. But are in a quandary about the “how to best see and do the things we want” in Wengen. Read below our itinerary.
Train from Zurich to Lucerne on morning of arrival, leave morning of 4th day.
Wengen – 3 days – Upon arrival in Lauterbrunnen from Lucerne (around 10 am) go to Murren via Grutshalp and then up to Schilthorn, with a stop at Birg and Trummelbach Falls on the way back to Luaterbrunnen and onto Wengen. We are using the Express luggage from Lucerne to Wengen, so we need to be back to pick it up by 8:00 pm at the Wengen train station.
Day 2 and 3 in Wengen are the dilemma as we don’t know the best way to do Jungfraujoch, First and also do the hike from Mannlichen to Klein Scheidegg. At first we thought we would go up to Jungfraujoch from Wengen and on the way back down get off at Klein Scheidegg and hike that to Mannlichen to ride the ariel cablecar back to Wengen. The dilemma? Everything I’ve read says to do the hike in the other direction because the views are more spectacular! I agree. So what’s the best possible route for doing this with little to no backtracking? And still do the things we want? As a side note, we are okay packing things in for a long day. This is a bucket list trip for us and we want to see as much as possible. We can sleep when we get home! 🙂
Should we, 1) Take the Mannlichen Ariel Cable car from Wengen to Grindelwald and then to First? or 2) Get off at Klein Schneidegg and hike to Mannilichen? Or is there other possibilities we haven’t considered or don’t know about?
I hope I made sense. We’ve never been to Switzerland and I’m getting all my information from sites like this. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!
