Due to time constraints we only have time a day trip from Zurich to the Brunner Oberland area. Can you please recommend which city we should visit.......Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen or Grindlewald. We are healthy senior citizens, interested in the scenic views and local culture. All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
It will take 2 1/2 hours to get to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald in the Berner Oberland (mountainous area of the Canton of Bern). Longer if you want to take the scenic route. Once there, you should take one of the lifts up on the mountain, so that is another hour. So your day will mostly be spent riding trains and cable lifts. I hope its a nice day.
The area I think you’re referring to is commonly called the “Berner Oberland.”
Lauterbrunnen is a 2.5-hour train ride from Zurich Hbf
and that is where I would start. Then leave the Lauterbrunnen Valley and go up to Murren for more spectacular scenery.
Not much can top the scenery in Lauterbrunnen and Murren.
I’d take Interlaken off the list. If the Berner Oberland is out of reach, go to Luzern.
