Overview

Operated by Zurich Day Tour, one of Switzerland’s most trusted, top-rated and authentic tour providers, this experience offers the opportunity to discover three world-famous Swiss destinations—Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen—in one carefully organised day.

With approximately four hours of free time in Grindelwald as the main experience, guests can choose their own adventure, whether taking a cable car into the mountains, visiting the lake and rivers, exploring the village, hiking through the valley, or visiting Glacier Canyon.

Whenever local access permits, guests are driven to convenient central points, reducing unnecessary walking and giving you more time to enjoy each destination. The tour offers the ideal balance of guided information, efficient organisation and the freedom to explore independently.

What to expect

Zurich
Pass by

Your journey begins in Zürich, Switzerland’s largest city and financial centre. As the coach travels through the city, your guide will introduce you to Zürich’s history, Swiss culture, the country’s four national languages and 26 cantons, its world-famous public transport system, and the fascinating landmarks along the route before continuing into the beautiful Swiss countryside.
Lucerne
Pass by

Travel through the beautiful city of Lucerne, where additional guests may join the tour. Enjoy the scenic drive as your guide introduces you to Lucerne and the surrounding landscape before continuing towards the Swiss Alps.
Interlaken

Discover the charming resort town of Interlaken, beautifully situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and surrounded by the majestic Swiss Alps. Enjoy free time to explore the town, stroll through Höhematte Park, browse local shops, walk alongside the Aare River, or relax at a café while taking in the magnificent mountain scenery.
Grindelwald
4h

During your free time in Grindelwald, choose how you would like to explore. Take one of two cable-car excursions: the longer journey to Grindelwald-First or the shorter ride to Pfingstegg, with a variety of mountain activities available at each destination. Alternatively, explore the village or walk farther into the valley, enjoying the unspoiled Alpine scenery alongside the Schwarze Lütschine River and continuing towards the impressive Glacier Canyon. Cable-car tickets and activities are not included and are subject to seasonal operation, weather conditions, and availability.

After visiting Lauterbrunnen, settle comfortably into the coach for the scenic return journey. Travel once again through the beautiful Interlaken region, past the lakes and rolling landscapes of Central Switzerland, and through the peaceful Swiss countryside.

Guests returning to Lucerne will be dropped off first, after which the journey continues to Zürich.

Use this time to relax, reflect on the day’s experiences, and enjoy the changing scenery. At Zurich Day Tour, we believe that every journey is a shared experience.
