This excursion starts with a comfortable ride in a modern deluxe coach on scenic routes to a most enchanting alpine world of the Bernese Oberland. After a short interlude in Interlaken you reach Lauterbrunnen where we board the Wengernalp rack railway for a 45-minute trip up through idyllic alpine meadows and forests to the little village of Wengen, and then further on up to Kleine Scheidegg (2061 m / 6762 ft). Here you will find yourself in front of the most magnificent mountain backdrop of Mts Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The imposing Eiger North Face is within touching distance. Time for lunch, relax or do some hiking on the well-signed hiking trails for all levels of competence. The unaccompanied trip back down to the valley follows the north-west slopes of the Eiger to the famous resort of Grindelwald. (During winter season the tour is fully guided also the down hill train ride to Grindelwald). Return to Lucerne – arrival at approx. 7 p.m.
