Suggestions for Lauterbrunnen Valley and maybe Lucerne? - 2.5 days

Posted by on

Hi everyone!

I will be in Paris for the Olympics and will be traveling by train from Paris to Lauterbrunnen on 8/5. I'll get to Lauterbrunnen around 2PM. Then on 8/6 I will be in Wengen at Hotel Schonegg and I will have to be back in Paris on 8/8 before at least 4:30PM at the latest.

I have a 4 day Swiss Travel Pass (probably should've gotten a 3 day instead but oh well) and I'm wondering what are the best/prettiest sights to see? I took a look at Rick's 3 day suggestion but with 2.5 days what can I really do? I also want to make good use of the travel pass since the mountain excursions (Rigi, Stoos, Stanserhorn) are included, along with the panorama trains. Also I believe cable cars are covered or at least have some good discounts.

I'm also young and fit so I wouldn't mind some hiking as long as they aren't insanely steep or something haha.

What would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Rigi, Stoos and Stanserhorn are not places you'd visit while staying in Lauterbrunnen or Wengen. Those are places you'd visit while staying somewhere near Luzern. For time in Lauterbrunnen/Wengen, pick activities in the Jungfrau region. You'll find many posts on this forum with suggestions on activities to do in the Jungfrau region if you do a simple search. If you have the ability to change your hotel I'd recommend staying all 3 nights in one spot, no benefit to switching hotels when Lauterbrunnen and Wengen are only 20 minutes away from each other.

Thanks for the comments. It looks like taking the Luzern-Interlaken Express would be my best bet in seeing some great views and then going from there. Apart from activities in the Lauterbrunnen/Wengen area.

Unfortunately due to cost, dates, and timing, I am unable to stay in one location for my accommodation so that is why I have it the way it is.
