My wife and I will be arriving at Interlaken Ost around 11:00 am and departing 18:00-19:00 pm for Luzern. Is it possible to make the trip to Lauterbrunnen-Grutschlap-Mürren-Schiltorn and back to Interlaken in 7-8 hours--in a way that approaches a "relaxed" journey? If 7-8 hours is inadequate, what alternative could be done in this time frame? Also what are the fares for the various modes of travel (does a Germany-Switzerland Pass provide any discount), are reservations required for early May?
