About this experience

Your guide will greet you at the meeting point before accompanying you on a journey into the heart of the Swiss Alps. The day begins in Bern, Switzerland's capital, where centuries of history are preserved within one of Europe's most remarkable medieval city centres.

As you explore Bern's UNESCO-listed Old Town, you'll discover arcaded streets, historic sandstone buildings, and landmarks that have remained largely unchanged for generations. Stroll through the city's elegant avenues while learning how Bern grew from a medieval settlement into the political heart of Switzerland. Along the way, admire the famous Zytglogge clock tower, historic fountains, and sweeping views of the turquoise Aare River that surrounds the old city on three sides.

From Bern, continue towards Interlaken, a resort town set between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and surrounded by some of Switzerland's most spectacular mountain scenery. For more than a century, travellers have been drawn here by the landscapes of the Bernese Oberland, and the town remains one of the country's most popular alpine destinations.

At the centre of Interlaken lies the Höhematte, a wide green meadow framed by grand hotels and uninterrupted views of the Jungfrau. Here, the mountains feel remarkably close, creating one of the most memorable panoramas in Switzerland. As you walk through the town, your guide will share how Interlaken developed from a small settlement into a gateway for visitors exploring the Swiss Alps.

The day continues to Lauterbrunnen, a valley renowned for its dramatic scenery, towering cliffs, and countless waterfalls. Surrounded by near-vertical rock faces and alpine peaks, the landscape has inspired travellers, artists, and writers for centuries.

Often described as one of the most beautiful valleys in Europe, Lauterbrunnen is home to more than seventy waterfalls. The most famous, Staubbach Falls, plunges nearly 300 metres into the valley below, creating one of Switzerland's most iconic natural sights. Traditional wooden chalets, green meadows, and peaceful surroundings add to the charm of this unforgettable alpine setting.

As you explore the village and its surroundings, you'll discover why Lauterbrunnen continues to captivate visitors from around the world and why it remains one of the highlights of any journey through Switzerland.

Your visit concludes in Lauterbrunnen, bringing an end to a memorable exploration of medieval cities, alpine towns, and some of Switzerland's most beautiful landscapes. Your guide will then accompany you back to the original meeting point.
