Itinerary
Hello and welcome to Lauterbrunnen! Our adventure begins in this lush green town where we’ll head to our hostel & get to know each other over a delicious home-cooked welcome dinner. Then, we'll take a short walk to check out the scenery of cliffs & waterfalls.
Time for some hiking! After breakfast, we’ll take the cable car up the slopes and hike to Murren - a picturesque little village. Enroute back, we'll stop by to visit the jaw-dropping Trummelbach Falls & even devour a delicious packed lunch against the epic Alpine backdrop. Then, it’s back to our hostel on a bus. Mother nature sure does love Switzerland…
Wakey wakey, today we’re going to the Top of Europe! Yep. We’ll visit picture-perfect Jungfrau mountain. In the afternoon, you can choose to do an epic canyon swing in the mountains, or head back into town to enjoy some ground-level scenery. Afterwards, you can join us for the final dinner of this trip at a local restaurant.
Sorry to break it to you, folks! After breakfast, our magical trip will sadly come to an end. So say your goodbyes. And keep reminiscing about your days spent in this nature-kissed wonderland. Don’t worry, there are plenty more jaw-dropping panoramas left for us to explore!
