Grindelwald has become a major tourist destination of both Switzerland and the Alps since the golden age of alpinism in the 19th century. It is notably overlooked by the section of the Bernese Alps. You can enjoy a walk along the main street during our stop in Grindelwald.
The cogwheel train from Grindelwald climbs to Kleine Scheidegg in 40 minutes. The view of the north face of the Eiger, the village of Grindelwald and the surrounding mountain landscape are unique.
The Kleine Scheidegg is a mountain pass at 2,061 m altitude, located below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks. There are also several restaurants and hotels at the top of the pass. Enjoy 2 hours of free time here to explore or have lunch.
While travelling to Lauterbrunnen on the cogwheel train, we pass Wengen.
A stop at Lauterbrunnen gives you a view to the village, the Staubbach waterfall and the nearly overhanging wall of the Lauterbrunnen rock. Take your time to walk through this known village.

I took this tour August 2025 with Christoff. He was very knowledgeable guide who took a lot of time explaining where we were going, what I was seeing ,and knew what side of the train to sit on to see the best views! I had a fabulous day exploring amazing places and am looking forward to going back to Switzerland.
Long train rides, but well worth it. Views were amazing! We had a nice stop between the train trips. Guide was great!!
It’s a long day but well worth all the sights you get to see. Our guide Phaysar did a great job of keeping us informed and on time.
