I found a well reviewed reasonably priced villa in Gsteigwiler. I am wondering what the thoughts are on staying there? I would like to go to Murren, Jungfraujoch, Interlaken while I am in the area. I thought this would be a nice central hub. What are the groups thought on this? I figured that I will only use to sleep since we will be out on activities all day. I can take transportation from there to all these places?
Would it be worth paying double or triple the price to stay in Murren?
Thanks!
We have walked thru Gsteigwiler on a path from Lauterbrunnen to Wilderswil and found it a nice village. It is a 20 minute mostly downhill walk to Wilderswil and there is a bus stop for the #105 which will help you get around when you don’t want to walk. Wilderswil is right on the Berner Oberland Bahn that connects you to the rest of the area. Certainly the mountain views are better in Mürren and Wengen, and both of those locations are bases for many walks and activities, but only you can decide value versus convenience. Hope you have several nights to spend. If it is a short stay, probably suck it up and pay the big bucks for best use of time.
FWIW, Wilderswil has a very good Italian restaurant, Luna Piccante.
Thank you @laurel!
We are staying 3 nights.
Thank you @Maureen. One more question.
What are your thoughts on your thoughts on if we go to murren , driving our car to Lauterbrunnen instead of taking the bus and parking it there?
I felt like it was a “central hub” because it’s close to Interlaken and not to far from Lauterbrunnen.

Why rent a car when public transportation is so easy? Your car will remain parked most of the time no matter where you stay.
With only 3 nights and 2 full days, you won’t want to spend time in Interlaken. You barely have enough time to enjoy Mürren, Wengen, and the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
@maureen.
Thank you! We will have a car as we are driving in from Colmar area. However our Airbnb has parking and she said it’s rebar route 105.
I saw that route 105 is only to go to the Interlaken area.
One more question as you are very helpful. If we are there for two full days, what type of travel pass do we get? Buy a 2 day transportation pass for the area or pay single ticket fares?
Thanks!
