Zurich-Lucerne: Grindelwald, Interlaken & Lauterbrunnen Day Trip

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.
