4 days In Jungfrau region with Kids

Cycling on the Lauterbrunnen valley floor is very safe and fun!

From Lauterbrunnen, take the cable car up to Grutschalp (20 min), where you can take the easy ~5 km Detective Trail with clues about plants, wildlife, and mountains, and a reward at the end for those who solve the puzzles.

Or you can just start hiking from Grutschalp to Winteregg to Murren. If the kids get tired, you can catch the train at Winteregg and ride to Murren. Hiking in this direction lets you see the mountains while you hike.

Winteregg has a restaurant with great views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and a playground for kids.

It’s the M1 hike on this web site

From Murren, you can take the Almendhubel funicular. There is a playground and and flower trail there. You can hike from there to Winteregg or you can just hike back to Murren for a shorter and easier walk. There are a few steep places, and you’ll probably see cows along your hike, which can be fun for kids.

See the M4 hike at the link above for more details.

All the best,

If you are over in Mürren there is a mini-golf just outside the sports centre. I enjoyed it as an adult (groups of schoolkids gathered around and cheered) and I'm sure kiddoes would fun it. Inside is a swimming pool....

You can ride the gondolas from Mannlichen to Grindelwald. Also in Mannlichen there are some activities for kids. The Trummelbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen I would think kids would find interesting, they are inside a mountain.

Ride the cablecar from Wengen up to Männlichen. There is a wonderful playground up there, with a huge cow the kids can climb through. My grandchildren loved this place.

Then if you want to continue to Grindelwald, you can either take the gondola down from Männlichen, or walk the scenic path (about an hour) to Kleine Scheidegg, and take the train down from there.

Note that a cablecar (Luftseilbahn) and gondola (Gondelbahn) are different. The cablecar or aerial cableway usually has two large cabins that run at set intervals, starting from either end (every 20 minutes for the Männlichen cablecar). The Schilthorn cablecar it this type. A Gondelbahn has smaller cars that run continuously—- you get on as it moves. The First lift at Grindelwald is this type. Männlichen has both types, one coming from each side. If you are a skier, you might have ridden a gondola at Whistler, or a cablecar (made in Switzerland) at Snowbird.

There is a Rodelbahn ( summer life) at the top of the Pfingstegg lift in Grindelwald.

Another good playground is the Flowerpark at the top of the Allmendhubel funicular in Mürren. After playing, the kids will enjoy the Childrens’ Adventure Trail for the descent, with slides, tunnels, rope swings, bridges, and obstacles. At least one parent will have to accompany them.

Here is a blog with some photos of the playground and Adventure Trail ( well-studded with ads, unfortunately).

Thank you everyone for your help! These are great ideas!!!

There is also a really nice public outdoor swimming pool in Wengen - we loved stopping by here to jump in the cold water after a day outdoors in the heat. There is a small kids pool as well as a full-size pool, grass areas to sit, and a snack bar where you can get ice cream and drinks. The pool also has an amazing view of the mountains. Kids up to age 16 are free and with the guest card (from your hotel/apartment), adults usually get a discount. https://wengen.swiss/en/summer/see-and-do/wellness-bathing/bathing/openair-swimming-pool/
The guest card also gives reduced entry to the mini-golf in the center of town.
The flower trail/playground mentioned above is great, definitely worth doing.
