Interlaken is the gateway; the treasure is the valley behind it. Grindelwald: the lively hub under the Eiger, home of the Eiger Express and First's adventure summit. Lauterbrunnen: the Tolkien-inspiring valley of 72 waterfalls. Mürren & Wengen: car-free balconies reached only by cable car and train — sleeping there is pure stillness.
Where to Stay
First-time families: Interlaken. Mountain vibes with full services: Grindelwald. Photographers and peace-seekers: Lauterbrunnen or Mürren.
The Jungfrau Travel Pass (3-8 days) covers the network; day-trip crowds peak 10-4 — plan your summits outside that window.
