Places we like to visit
Take a bus direct to Isenfluh, or take the gondola to Grutschalp and walk over or - for a bit of uphill walking, walk from Lauterbrunnen.
However you get there, you must visit this tiny village, with its epic views. It has the smallest, cutest cablecar up to Sulwald, where you can then hike or take the 2 wheel 'Trotti-Bikes' back down to Isenfluh!
Many great hikes start here - or just soak up the view and enjoy a homemade cake and a beer at Sulwald's lovely little mountain hut.

A small mountain village surrounded by waterfalls and sheer cliffs, Lauterbrunnen is a gorgeous glacier U-valley that inspired Tolkien to create ‘Rivendell’ in Lord of the Rings!
Today it plays host to an eclectic mix of locals and tourists; farming is the most important - and oldest - industry here, while BASEjumpers, pilots and skiers from all over the world add to the unique mixing pot of cultures and languages.
Explore the most beautiful views you will ever see and immerse yourself in the magic of the mountains.
