To get there, you can take a train from Zurich Airport to Interlaken Ost (2 hours and 15 mins) and take a connecting train to Lauterbrunnen from there.From the train station, you can either walk (15 mins), take the 141 bus (10 minutes), or take a taxi (5 minutes).Trains and public transport services across Austria and Switzerland are reasonably priced and very efficient.
