Hike Wengen to Lauterbrunnen

September 17, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

We’re learning that an”easy” hike in Swiss terms is about as much as we can do!

Today , we took the gondola to Mannlichen, caught the cable car to Wengen (4,200 feet) and hiked from Wengen to Lauterbrunnen.

It’s a relatively short, (3k) hike on a very steep downhill trail (15% incline) that’s a challenge for knees, hips, and toes. The elevation drops 535m! Took us 2 hours with stops for water and photos.

The reward is a beautiful view of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, complete with waterfalls.Read more
