My husband and I will be traveling from Paris and are looking for a one night stay in Bern or Kandersteg before heading to Lauterbrunen. I have two options and I am torn. Please help!
Option 1: 4 hour train ride to Bern and stay at Hotel National in Bern and walk around the city. One night stay and wake up early in am to travel by train to Kandersteg 1 hour leave luggage in train station and go hike around Oeschinensee lake. Then check into Lauterbrunen that evening.
Option 2: 5 hour train to Kandersteg and stay at Hotel Pension Spycher. Wake up early and hike around that day and get to Lauterbrunen maybe a little bit earlier. Wont get to see Bern though unless we walk around city on our Tain ride from Paris to Kandersteg.
