Easy countryside tour in Swiss Alps - kids friendly
Description
Wengen is a lovely car-free mountain town at 1274m (4 180ft). It's located on a big cliff between Lauterbrunnen and Männlichen so the views are just stunning. Me and my little dog friend would like to take you to the most charming part of town. This is where the first residents of Wengen settled, now a small habitat of a few farms. This place will show us the true beauty of the Swiss alpine countryside from old days, full of cheese from local farms and animals grazing grass around. Along the way, we will have beautiful views on famous Lauterbrunnen valley, Jungfrau, Mürren, Schiltorn (from old James Bond movie) and learn about it, so you will get bunch of tips what to do in next days of your stay. However, views and informative aspect of the tour are not everything - we will pass trust shop on local farm, where we will have opportunity to buy ice cream, cheese and cold cuts directly from the farmer. Prepare some cash for this occasion because they are truly delicious!

Fantastic afternoon with Weronica! She was so knowledgeable and fun to be with. We learned so much about the culture and the views were stunning! Highly recommend this tour!
Weronika was a great and lovely guide. She showed us the country side and we had a lovely experience. Her puppy Bonnie was adorable and added to the whole experience A very good guide with a warm and loving nature. Truly enjoyed the experience.
Thank you very much, it was a pleasure to have you here. Greetings from Bonni!
During our stay at Lauterbrunnen wanted to explore a Swiss Village. This trek turned out to be a nice way to do this. The guide had good knowledge. The trek was through roads winding through farms, houses and water streams. Our 7 year old daughter also enjoyed this. Will definitely recommend this trip to explore Swiss villages beyond the touristy points.
The Wengen tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was incredibly friendly, always positive, and perfectly adjusted the pace of the hike to match everyone's fitness levels, making the experience enjoyable for all. The views were breathtaking – we had constant, stunning sights of Jungfrau, Lauterbrunnen Valley, and Schilthorn. We also visited a local farm where we could buy delicious cheeses, cold cuts, and ice cream straight from the farmer. There were so many animals, including llamas, alpacas, and cows grazing nearby. A sweet little white dog accompanied us the entire way, adding even more charm to the adventure! This was a well-organized tour full of beautiful scenery and local flavors. I highly recommend it!
Highly recommend booking this tour. We had a lovely walk and learned all about the local culture, rules about alpine cheesemaking, and terrain. Really set us up for understanding and appreciating the rest of our Switzerland trip better!
We booked this tour hoping to actually enjoy playing with the animals on an alpine farm. There were no animal interactions or really a tour of a farm. However, Weronica took our family of four with 2 teenagers (17 and 19) along with a lovely British couple on a few mile walk around Wengen. She was very informative about the area, the customs, the cheesemaking, and the Lauterbrennan valley. The hike itself was easy, the gardens of the homes in the area are breathtaking as is the view. I hope they would revamp the advertising of this trip as a "walk" through Wengen rather than visiting a farm. Regardless, it was a great experience and we learned a TON about the area.
Wonderful experience with Weronika! She was very accommodating, sledge lesson was fun and felt safe and she also made a wonderful Cheese fondue!
Weronika was wonderful as a guide for us during the sledding, she was on time, had so much information to give and was very cheerful throughout the tour even though I went veryyy slow on my sled She even accompany us to go up to redo our sledding path one more time. It was a fun experience and one we would recommend to you when you are visiting grindelwald area. Buy a pass so you could ride the gondola orbtrain hassle-free Thank you weronika for a wonderful time
We loved this experience! Weronika was super nice and friendly. I went with my 6 year old daughter and parents and we all enjoyed the ride a lot!! Having nice cheese and chocolate with such a views was priceless.
Such an awesome experience and our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Also very affordable for the area. Definitely something not to miss whilst in the area!
