Hiking
Enjoy the Jungfrau region with its endless options of hikes ranging from easy, rather flat valley walks or panoramic trails, to challenging uphill hikes to reach peaks like First or Schilthorn on foot.
The Lauterbrunnen valley boasts up to 70 different waterfalls including the highest free-falling waterfall in Europe and the famous Trümmelbachfalls.
Combine the valley with a simple hike which takes you about 1.5 hours from Grütschalp to Mürren and you can take in the stunning views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and the great landscape of the Jungfrau region.

Jungfraujoch
An impressive trip of a lifetime to the glacier on Jungfraujoch.
The train journey up the mountain deserves its own tick on your bucket list. Built over 100 years ago, three different trains take you up the mountain and through a tunnel below the snow-covered rocks to the highest train station in Europe 'top of Europe' at 3454m/11383ft. Take in the extraordinary mountain range, the majority of which is covered in snow all year round.
You can combine your trip to "top of Europe" with a nice hike down the mountain from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen (where the sun shines in the afternoon) or to Alpiglen (where you will find some wished for shade). It all depends on the weather and your personal form on the day.
Schilthorn
See for yourself: This is the best view of “the Swiss Skyline”: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
From here you see about 40 different mountain peaks, many of them covered in glacier snow. The cable car ride passes close by an impressive waterfall, rocky cliffs and above green Alpine meadows.
In winter you can take in this impressive view from above the clouds. While you might start in the morning fog, you will emerge from the clouds at the top into the most beautiful sunshine and blue sky. Just this experience is worth the visit!
(of course it's all depending on the weather)
Kayak Tours
Taking in the beautiful nature all around you, while quietly floating on Lake Brienz or Lake Thun is an incredible experience.
Lake Brienz is especially breath-taking with its unusual turquoise colour surrounded by high mountains.
You can go on your own, or, if you prefer, Hightide offers great tours.
Why not paddle along cliffs, pass by the 12th century Ringgenberg Castle, and discover hidden beaches along the way?
