Detailed itinerary

After meeting the guide at the hotel, we set off toward Interlaken on a scenic route of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. The journey is a true immersion in Swiss landscapes, with crystal-clear lakes reflecting the surrounding mountains, charming villages with wooden chalets, and green hills dotted with wildflowers. Every turn reveals new views, from serene valleys to dense forests, creating a breathtaking scene that makes the journey as special as the destination. Please note that the tour can also start from Lucerne or Interlaken, offering the same unforgettable experience and personalized journey, regardless of your departure point.

After the 1 hour and 45-minute scenic transfer, we will arrive in the charming town of Grindelwald. From there, we will ascend Mount First, known for its stunning panoramic views of the Swiss Alps. At the summit, you can enjoy thrilling cliff walks, and for the adventurous, there's the "First Flyer" zipline and "First Glider." The mountain offers breathtaking alpine scenery and unforgettable photo opportunities. Please note that during the entire month of November, Mount First is closed for maintenance and is not operational.

After leaving Mount First, we will head towards Interlaken, where you will have time to explore and enjoy some shopping. If the Harder Kulm is operating, we can take the funicular to the top of Interlaken for stunning panoramic views. *Please note that the Harder Kulm is typically closed during the winter season for maintenance, and we will only ascend if it is open. The guide will be informed to check the status and will update you at the departure regarding the day's itinerary.* If the Harder Kulm is unavailable, we can include a visit to another charming village in the region as an alternative.

After enjoying your time in Interlaken, we will begin our return journey to Zurich, or the city where the tour began. The drive back will take approximately 2 hours, allowing you to relax and reflect on the stunning sights of the day. As we make our way through the scenic Swiss countryside, you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes one last time before reaching your destination. The journey will be smooth and comfortable, giving you a chance to relax before concluding your unforgettable experience.
