Alpine Wonders: Trip to Schilthorn, Mürren, Gimmelwald & Lauterbrunnen from Zurich

Explore the heart of the Swiss Alps on an unforgettable full-day journey from Zurich to the spectacular Bernese Oberland. Discover the dramatic Lauterbrunnen Valley, the charming mountain villages of Mürren and Gimmelwald, and ascend to the summit of the Schilthorn for breathtaking alpine panoramas.

Your day begins with a scenic drive from Zurich to Stechelberg. From here, board the newest section of the Schilthorn cableway, part of the impressive modernization by Schilthornbahn. This remarkable aerial cable car climbs the world’s steepest gradient to Mürren before continuing upward to the summit of Schilthorn.

The summit rewards you with sweeping 360° views of more than 200 Alpine peaks, including the legendary trio: Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. Visit the iconic Piz Gloria rotating restaurant, where you may enjoy a relaxed brunch, coffee, or light lunch while the panorama slowly unfolds around you. Highlights also include the Skyline Walk, the thrilling cliff-side Thrill Walk, and the fascinating James Bond 007 exhibition.

Descend to the car-free village of Mürren, perched high above the valley floor and surrounded by dramatic Alpine peaks. With its traditional chalets and peaceful walking paths, Mürren offers an authentic and charming mountain atmosphere.

Continue to the tiny hamlet of Gimmelwald, reached by a scenic hike or short cable car ride. Here, enjoy a visit to a local mountain farm, where you can sample regional cheeses and experience a taste of traditional Alpine life in a beautiful, intimate setting.

Conclude your day in the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen Valley, one of Switzerland’s most picturesque natural settings. Admire the famous Staubbach Falls cascading from towering cliffs. For those wishing to explore further, an optional visit to the impressive Trümmelbach Falls, a series of glacial waterfalls hidden inside the mountain can be added to your experience.

After a day immersed in Switzerland’s alpine beauty and heritage, your private driver will return you comfortably to your hotel in Zurich.
