Alpine Wonders: Trip to Schilthorn, Mürren, Gimmelwald & Lauterbrunnen from Geneva

Discover the heart of the Swiss Alps on an unforgettable full-day excursion from Geneva. This exclusive journey takes you deep into the stunning Bernese Oberland, where you'll explore the record-breaking Schilthorn cable car, the peaceful villages of Mürren and Gimmelwald, and the spectacular Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Geneva through rolling countryside and Alpine foothills to the village of Stechelberg, nestled at the base of sheer cliffs. From here, board the world’s steepest aerial cable car—part of the state-of-the-art Schilthornbahn 20XX project. This engineering marvel climbs a dramatic 159.4% gradient in just four minutes, whisking you up to the summit of the Schilthorn.

At 2,970 meters above sea level, the summit rewards you with breathtaking 360° panoramic views of over 200 Alpine peaks, including the legendary Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Savor a coffee or early lunch at the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant, which completes a full rotation every 45 minutes. Don’t miss the James Bond 007 exhibition, the awe-inspiring Skyline Walk, and the thrilling cliffside Thrill Walk.

Descend next to Mürren, a car-free alpine village that offers timeless charm and panoramic mountain views. Take a stroll through its tranquil streets lined with traditional Swiss chalets, or enjoy a peaceful moment on one of the scenic trails.

Continue by foot or a short cable car ride to the tiny village of Gimmelwald, famed for its rustic beauty and authentic alpine atmosphere. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional cheese tasting featuring local products. For a deeper cultural experience, visit a working mountain farm run by Thomas Rubin. Meet the animals, learn about mountain farming traditions, and sample fresh cheese, sausage, and milk.

End your day with a visit to Lauterbrunnen, one of Switzerland’s most picturesque valleys, where waterfalls cascade down towering cliffs. Pause to admire the graceful Staubbach Falls, or opt to visit the dramatic Trümmelbach Falls, hidden inside the mountain and fed by glacial meltwater.

After a day filled with stunning scenery and rich alpine culture, your driver-guide will return you to your hotel in Geneva, leaving you with unforgettable memories of the Swiss Alps.
