My husband and I will be staying in Wengen for 8 nights in September and would like to attend the Chasteilet in the Justis Valley on September 20, 2024. We will not have a car and would appreciate any detailed information about what transportation to use to get from Wengen to the celebration, timing of arrival and departure from the celebration, tips for during the celebration. etc. We would probably prefer not to hike to the location, but instead to take a local form of transportation. Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

Looks like the simplest way is to get to Sigriswil, take the shuttle bus to Gron and then walk about 20 minutes. To figure out your route & times from Wengen to Sigriswil, look at sbb.ch
