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.
3. Oeschinen Lake

Oeschinensee is accessible by foot from Kandersteg within 1.5 hours. The cable car operates in summer and winter season daily from mornings till evenings - non stop. In summer enjoy swimming in the lake, boat rides on the blue and clear water or just have fun with the toboggan run at the top station of the cable car. Several hotels around the lake offer rooms in summer. Restaurants are open in winter and summer. The region belongs to the Unesco heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch.

Easily accessible for families with small children. The lake can be reached after a 30min walk or in 5min via a small electric bus (8CHF each way). The views are breathtaking and there is a nice restaurant by the lake to enjoy a meal. Not to be missed!

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.

We recently had two private half day lessons with Mike and could not recommend him enough. We are intermediate skiers and were looking to improve our skiing technique, particularly in relation to carving. Mike is very patient and very knowledgeable, and he gave us a lot of good tips to improve our skiing technique. It was very easy to book lessons, we booked through the altitude desk in the Bernet Sports shop in Grindelwald.

In august, we could see people swimming in it, and even standing on a high bridge, we could see through it to the very bottom of the river. It's greenish clear waters together with the scenery around it gives you this calm and peaceful feeling. Very relaxing.

This 656-foot waterfall is best known for its fictional significance as the place of Sherlock Holmes's death.

A small funicular railway brings you up to a waterfall, the view there is just amazing! A small and easy hiking trail allows you to see the waterfall and the beautiful surrounding landscape from different points of view. Fully recommended!

The Schilthorn on a cool clear day you really can see what looks for ever. Schilthorn is magnificent and view from the restaurant Piz Gloria is excellent well matching it’s beautiful setting.
10. Jungfraujoch
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,044 reviews
Icy air streams across your face, snow crunches under your feet, and the view nearly takes your breath away: on one side the view of the Mittelland up to the Vosges, on the other the Aletsch glacier, bordered by four thousand metre peaks. Standing on the Jungfraujoch 3,454 metres above sea level, you can feel it with your first step: this is a different world. It's one you have to experience.
