We will be staying in Lauterbrunnen for 3 nites/2 full days, first wk Oct. We plan on doing the Schilthorn area the 1st day and the opposite Jungfrau area the 2nd day. Considering we want to do all lifts/cable cars/trains in both areas, we are thinking of purchasing the Swiss Half Fare Card ($134) which will give us 50% off all tickets inc the two highest peaks. I need some recommendations on how to travel to see all the villages & sites that there is available.
Thought of doing the 1st day as follows:
Cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp, then train to Murren, then cable car straight to Schilthorn (weather permitting). From there, back to Murren, funicular to Allmendhubell. Then back to see Murren, next hike down to Gimmewald, with cable car down to Stechelberg, if time allows walk to Trummelbach Falls, finish with bus back to Lauterbrunnen. (Won’t want to hike back). Does this sound good?
2nd day as follows:
Lauterbrunnen to Klein Scheidegg, then straight on to Jungfrau (weather permitting). Take train back down to Wengen so to take the lift to Mannlichen, hike from Mannlichen to Klein Scheidegg, then train to see Wengen, and then back to Lauterbrunnen.
The Swiss Half Card will make the cost of all this approx. $186.00 + $134 (card) = $320/person.
Costly but we are getting in everything we want to do. If weather is poor, can cut off the two highest points.
Opinions??
Thank you!
