(2 reviews)
Zurich, Switzerland

12 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 7 more

What makes this tour unique is the opportunity to discover three world-famous Swiss destinations—Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen—in one carefully organised day, while enjoying approximately four hours of free time in Grindelwald as the journey’s main experience. This generous amount of time allows guests to choose their own adventure, whether taking a cable car into the mountains, visiting the lake and rivers, exploring the village, hiking through the valley or visiting Glacier Canyon. Whenever local access permits, guests are driven to convenient central points, reducing unnecessary walking and leaving more time to enjoy each destination. The tour offers an ideal balance of guided information, efficient organisation and freedom to explore independently.
