3824 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, Stechelberg
📍 Stechelberg → 📍 Mürren → 📍 Northface Trail → 📍 Gimmelwald (Switzerland 🇨🇭) We took the gondola up from Stechelberg to Mürren, then rode the Allmendhubel funicular to start the Northface Trail. 🥾 The hike was amazing—clear signs, peaceful alpine meadows, waterfalls, and constant views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. 🌄 The flower meadows 🌸🌼 were absolutely stunning and the highlight of the trail. After the loop we continued downhill to Gimmelwald, a quiet, picture-perfect village 🏡 with wooden chalets and flower gardens. From there it was an easy gondola 🚡 ride back up to Mürren and down to Stechelberg. Everything ran smoothly: lifts on time, friendly staff, and a route that’s family-friendly yet still gives a real mountain feel. ✅ A perfect half-day adventure combining gondola rides, a scenic hike, and two charming villages. Highly recommended! 🙌
Beautiful gondola station. Looks pretty new. We were told that it was the steepest gondola.
Easy ride from Gimmelwald but operating not many times a day, so be aware of your time.
Had to take a bus here from Lauterbrunnen to access the Gimmelwald/Murren/Shilthorn gondola due to the main gondola to those areas was down for maintenance. The base gondola is the landing point for paragliding groups. There is a short trail to a waterfall here, a stunning location in the valley.
The walk from camp Jungfrau to Stechelberg is very moderate and beautiful. You will encounter many charming Swiss Cows with bells 🔔 and babbling brooks. Make sure to keep watch for signs that direct to the Gondola/Skytrams station if you’re wanting to travel to Murren (highly recommend). It was inexpensive. Mind the time for the last transport of the day and do try not to get stuck walking back. Murren is a very charming town and will take a lot more time to wander through so allow an hour in murren. You can also take a train up the mountain to almond Hubble flower Trail or level three. And that’s cheaper than staying on the gondola all the way up the co-op in Aaron has reasonable prices and there is a little gift shop dark wooden frame near the little train in Marin and it had cheaper prices than the gift shop on the valley floor. And the public restroom is at the train station that you take to level three the chill zone the flower park. You can walk from the train station at Murrin across the top of the hillside to Grutschalp and take a gondola down to Laura Bruin, but the last gondola of the day is at 4 PM and the walk is about two hours long.
Easy to reach by Postal Bus. Service is good and the ride up to Schilthorn is awesome. Going back, I stopped by Birg and have to explore the Thrill walk and take some photos. When I arrived back in there, the Bus is already waiting. I will go back one day and stop by Murren. You won't regret going up to those places from Stechelberg.
