Description
Snowy forests, cute alpine villages, incredible mountains, and cheesy fondue. This snowshoe trail is a beautiful hiking loop of 4 km, with the most impressive views from the Swiss Alps.
This snowshoe trail is a beautiful loop of 4 km, and takes place in the cute little village of Murren. During our hike, we will have the most impressive views from the Lauterbrunnen valley, and from the famous mountain trio of Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau.
We will meet at Interlaken Ost train station at 8.45 and get to Murren at 10.00. Once we reach the village, we will jump on our snow shoes and walk for about 2 hours. Half way we will have a coffe/snack break at a nice view point to enjoy the most amazing views from the region. After our hike, we will walk through Murren’s tiny little centre, and take a 5-minute gondola down to Gimmelwald, a traditional farming village with stunning views, where we will enjoy the best Fondue from the Swiss Alps.
The tour will be planned according to fitness levels and weather forecast, so the itinerary will be adjusted if necessary.
The length of this hike is 4 km (2.5 miles) with a total ascent of 240 m (800 feet). Good physical condition is required.
After our fondue in Gimmelwald, we will take the gondola down to Stechelberg, bus back to Lauterbrunnen, and train back to Interlaken.
About your guide:
Hiking and trail running are my favourite ways to explore and connect with this beautiful region. Passionate about the outdoors and sports, I got trapped in this beautiful place two years ago, and I have explored the region thoroughly. I love interacting and sharing experiences with people from all over the world, and I very much enjoy taking people to the most special places in the region, and helping them plan their days in the Jungfrau region.
