2 1/2 days in the area at the end of July 2026. We will be arriving in Wilderswil from Zurich early in the day. Trying to organize the things that we most want to see and do and looking for some logistical input. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Day 1: Brienz- Arrive from Zurich to Wilderswil early and drop bags. Train to Brienz and bus to Axalp-Hinterburgseeli Trail. Back to Brienz before last bus for 1700 hour to wander through town and then back to Wilderswil
Day 2: Looking for input here. Would like to do any combo of the following things but unsure which are best to combine due to proximity knowing that it will be a long day and a number of transportation transfers. I have already looked and am aware of distance and ease of each trail. Mannlichen-Kleine Scheidegg Trail, Schynige Platte Ridge Trail, First to Lake Bachalpsee
Day 3: Lauterbrunnen valley floor, North Face Trail. Maybe rent e bikes from Imboden? Enjoy the towns - Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Gimmelwald
Day 4: Leave for Zurich with a stop in Bern for a half day

Not knowing anything about the hike for your day one itinerary, I’d simply replace your day one with day two and three stuff. All your time should be spent in the alps. Murren, Gimmelwald, wengen (and lauterbrunnen, to a lesser extent).
You’d be surprised how much time you’ll spend on those hikes just looking at the views. Get lunch (sandwiches) from the supermarket, and explore.
