Final 11 Day Switzerland Itinerary Starting in a Few Days.

“Full Day - ( Walk from Laturbrunnen to Trümmelbachfälle Falls – Visit Murren - Visit Allmendhubelbahn - Walk Mürren BLM to Winteregg”

On this day, I would suggest reversing the route: take the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp, then walk to Winteregg. That way the views are in front of you instead of behind you. You can take the train from Winteregg to Murren, then go to Allmendhubel, then Murren, then cable car down to Stechelberg. You can take the bus to Trummelbach Falls, then walk back through the valley to Lauterbrunnen.

Are you planning to see the Matterhorn in Zermatt? It's a must-do if the weather is right.

Thank you Travel4fun for your suggestion. I will modify this route.

Zermatt is currently not included in my itinerary.

Stanserhorn is wonderful, but a half day activity, not full day, IMHO. The open air Cabrio cable car is fun. We went up to watch the sunset. The train from Lucerne is only twenty minutes, then a two block walk to the base of the lifts.

Do you mean you have no lodging booked? I'm confused.

Have a great time.

All lodging has been book. The Stanserhorn trip from Lucerne will be at the end of our 23 day trip. The other option I mentioned was just to visit Lucerne ( we will probably be tired at this point ) and have a day with no travel. Sorry for the confusion.

A few comments/suggestions for your time in Wengen

Full Day - Wengen>Bern (I doubt you’d have time to also stop in Thun & Spiez. Spiez is a 15 minute walk from the train station and is really better seen by boat. Alternatively you could skip Bern and instead do Thun (lovely city with castle) and then a boat ride on Lake Thun with stops at the castles Oberhofen & Spiez. I’d personally choose this option over going all the way to Bern.

Full Day – Jungfraujoch – Hiking from Eiger to Kleine Scheidegg - Hiking from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengernalp

Full Day – Boat from Interlaken to Gießbach (funicular up, then hike), continue on boat to Brienz, possibly time for Aare Gorge depending on if you left early enough in the morning. If not, just enjoy leisurely boat ride.

Full Day - Panorama Trail: Männlichen - Kleine Scheidegg – Eiger Express to Grindlewald - possibly Bachalpsee (or you could just do Royal Walk add on instead of really crowded Bachalpsee and then continue your walk from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen, skipping Grindlewald/First)

Full Day - Schynige Platte - Visit Wilderswil (nothing really to see) / Harder Kulm (views from Schynigge Platte are far superior and way less crowded…do the Oberberghorn Panorama Trail hike from Schynigge Platte to get much better ridge views of lakes/mountains than super touristy Harder Kulm)

Full Day - Wengen > Lauterbrunnen > Grutschalp Cable Car > Train to Winteregg > Walk to Murren this direction, over to Allmendhubel > optional North Face hike from Allmendhubel which ends at Schilthornbahn where you can cable car down to Stechelberg and take the bus to Trummelbach Falls if you want to wait in the long line for it)

Full Day ( Lowest Priority of all the Days ) – Schilthorn - if this is low priority then you can add Schilthorn you on to the day above if you want to avoid an additional trip over to Murren. If you’re running out of time on the above day, nix the walk from Winteregg to Murren (same views on the train, sit on left side. You can do Schilthorn at the end of the North Face hike or before it.

Priorities for best weather days - Männlichen/Kleine Scheidegg, Schynigge Platte, Murren. Save your Lake days for when weather may not be as nice up in the mountains.

Thank you Maureen for you reply. Much appreciated.
