Hiking with luggage transport
There are moments when everything just feels right. Settling down, exhausted yet happy, amongst the rocks and grass at the summit. Basking in the gentle afternoon sun, taking in the unobstructed, sweeping view across the valley and into the distance. Feeling at peace with oneself.
Even though the Jungfrau Region is too beautiful to be true, it really is: the mountains soar high into the sky, the valleys cut deep into the earth. Wild mountain streams, huge waterfalls and Lakes Thun and Brienz characterise the landscape.
The daily stages can be tailored to suit individual preferences.
Nestled amongst hills and vineyards, Spiez on Lake Thun, with its mild climate, is the perfect place to relax.
Overnight stay: Spiez
The spectacular lakeside scenery of Lake Thun and the imposing mountain peaks of the Bernese Oberland provide the backdrop for this hike. The tourist centre of Interlaken, with the Höhenmatte and its historic hotels, marks the end of the stage.

The view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau trio is unique. No less spectacular is the hike below the Eiger towards Alpiglen. Gradually, the rugged flanks of the Mönch and Jungfrau and the perfectly shaped Silberhorn in the foreground fade from view. The view across the Grindelwald Valley stretches far into the distance.
