If you are staying in Zurich and have only one free day, a Zurich day trip to Interlaken and the Bernese Oberland is the way most visitors see the region. The mountains are about two hours south, but getting there by public transport means several train changes and a fixed timetable. Blacklimo Transfer offers a private day trip from Zurich with a professional chauffeur to remove the worry. You leave from your door, decide where to roam around, and return when you are ready.
Here you will get to know exactly what you will see, how long each stop lasts, what is included, and what to know before you book. If you are comparing travel options, an Interlaken day trip from Zurich with a private driver is the simplest way to cover all three stops in one day.
The route below is our standard plan. Because the trip is private, the order and timing can change on the day, for example to avoid cloud on a high peak or to give you longer at one stop.
Times are approximate and depend on traffic and weather. Admission fees at attractions are not included.
• Zurich pickup: Early morning, from your hotel, address or Zurich Airport.
• Interlaken: About 1 hour. Town between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.
• Grindelwald: About 2 hours. Village below the Eiger north face.
• Lauterbrunnen: About 1 hour. Valley of 72 waterfalls.
• Return to Zurich: Day trip from Lauterbrunnen to Zurich with lake views on the way back, drop-off where you started.
• Private vehicle with a professional chauffeur
• English-speaking driver
• Pickup and drop-off in Zurich
• Stops in Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen
• Flexible timing and photo stops
• Fuel, tolls and motorway vignette
May to October gives the most reliable views and all attractions open. Summer is busiest in Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen, so an early start helps. December to March is also worth considering for snow-covered villages, although Trümmelbach Falls is typically closed in winter and roads may need more time.
Mountain weather changes quickly. If the Eiger is in cloud in the morning, your chauffeur can swap the order of stops and give it time to clear. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, since Grindelwald is noticeably cooler than Zurich, especially on a day trip from Interlaken to Grindelwald where you gain altitude quickly.
The road passes Lucerne and the lakes of central Switzerland before it climbs into the mountains. Expect around two hours of driving each way to reach Interlaken via a Zurich to Interlaken day trip, with the landscape turning from farmland to steep forested slopes as you get closer.
Interlaken is on a narrow strip of land between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, which is where its name comes from. Walk to Höhematte Park, a large open meadow where paragliders land, with the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger rising behind it on a clear day. The Aare River runs through town and the streets nearby have cafés and small shops, so this is a good stop for coffee before the mountain roads. It is also the natural starting point for an Interlaken to Grindelwald day trip, as the village is a short drive up the valley.
The drive up to Grindelwald is one of the most scenic short roads in the country, which is why a day trip to Grindelwald from Interlaken is so popular. In the village you can walk the main street with views of the Eiger north face, the Wetterhorn and the First mountain, browse craft shops for Swiss souvenirs, or sit with a coffee and look at the peaks. With two hours here you have time for a slow lunch. If you want a short detour, your chauffeur can take you to the Glacier Gorge (Gletscherschlucht), a canyon cut by meltwater, though entry is paid separately.
The Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen day trip is short, and the scenery changes completely as you enter a narrow valley with rock walls of close to 300 metres on both sides. Staubbach Falls drops straight into the village and is visible from the main road. Higher up the valley you can see towards Wengen and Mürren. If you choose to, add a visit to Trümmelbach Falls, a set of glacial waterfalls running inside the mountain, reached by lift and tunnel walkways. Allow about an hour for it, and check that it is open, as it runs seasonally.
On the Lauterbrunnen to Zurich day trip back, your private Zurich chauffeur can stop at a lakeside viewpoint for last photos in the afternoon light, then drive you to your Zurich address.
