Bernadette and Gonzonlo were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The scenery was spectacular and we had beautiful weather to see the views.

What an amazing day! Don’t let negative comments deter! Our tour guide, Fernando, was awesome. He gave very detailed information along the way and back. The bus was really comfortable and roomy. We had no issues sitting together when we got on in Lucerne. About an hour to Interlaken. Small town, but a lot of souvenirs and beautiful views. About an hour here, could’ve used 90, but not a big deal. At the street, go right for shops and left for churches. We went right and should’ve not gone so far. 45 minutes to Grindenwald. Best part. We had almost 4 hours and didn’t see everything. Go to Mount First! 25 minute ride up on cable car, about 2 hours there time for shops back in town. Interbrunnen next, and could’ve been skipped. Waterfalls were starting to form and beautiful cemetery. 90 minutes back to Lucerne. Worth every penny and a full day! Can’t say enough good things. The day will fly by, but you will see so much! Do not miss this one!

Full description

Explore the idyllic Bernese Oberland and the magnificent Jungfrau mountain region on a full-day tour from Zurich. Your day includes free time to explore the famous mountain resort of Grindelwald and a visit to Lauterbrunnen.

Journey through the countryside to Interlaken in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. After the short stop in Interlaken, continue to Grindelwald, also known as “Glacier Village.” Lookout points provide stunning views of the impressive mountainscape, including the triple peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Opt for a ride on the aerial cableway to Mt. First and brave the thrilling First Cliff Walk by Tissot, a 40-meter suspension bridge high above the valley. Unwind at a cozy mountain restaurant with stunning views while savoring a delicious Swiss meal. For adventure seekers, hike to the picturesque Lake Bachalpsee (6 km round trip, 1.5–2 hours, moderate incline) or take in breathtaking panoramas from the "First View" platform.

For a different adventure, explore Glacier Canyon, a breathtaking natural marvel where glacial waters have carved deep, dramatic gorges over millennia. Or, take a nostalgic cable car ride up to Mount Pfingstegg, where stunning panoramic views and exciting activities await.

Next, travel by bus with your tour guide to Lauterbrunnen, a postcard-perfect village tucked between sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls. Home to 72 waterfalls, this enchanting valley once inspired literary legends like Goethe and J.R.R. Tolkien. Enjoy free time to stroll through its charming streets and take in the beauty of Staubbach Falls—Switzerland’s third-highest waterfall and a true icon of the region.

With fresh mountain air and unforgettable alpine moments, rejoin your guide in the afternoon for the scenic return journey.

This was great! The weather was perfect and the guide was fantastic. All three villages were incredible. If you're doing this trip out of Lucerne, it's much less travel time than doing it out of Zurich. They combine the two tours, so the people from Zurich had to pick us up. Glad I decided to stay in Lucerne for a few days and Zurich for a few days and booked this specific tour out of Lucerne. The bus ride through the pass was beautiful and I would definitely recommend this tour over trying to see all the places on your own in one day!
