My wife, son, daughter, friends and I walked around the village of Gimmelwald in December 2019. To get there, you have to take a train from Interlaken or Wilderswil to Lauterbrunnen, then a bus to the cable car. Gimmelwald was covered in snow. There was a beautiful view of the mountains and the small unique old houses and places were very interesting. Children were riding sleds. It was not very crowded. We spent an hour here then headed to Murren.

Rather than explain what this is like, just search “Murren Via Ferrata “ on YouTube and you’ll see exactly what you’re in for. It’s one of the most amazing things we’ve ever done! You do need to be in good shape and it’s one of the best leg workouts you’ll ever get. We were sore for days but it was worth it! Allow some extra time before or after to walk around Murren. It’s a beautiful town with some great shops and places to eat. I highly recommend taking a Go-Pro on this adventure. I bought one just for this trip and it was worth every penny because we came back with amazing footage. They don’t rent them but you can ask for a helmet with a mount although you should bring your own device that connects the camera to the helmet mount. Also be sure to turn the power off when you’re not taking video since the hike is longer than the battery life. The new cameras all come with voice control so turning it on and off is easy and hands-free.
