Playgrounds, themed trails, child-friendly hikes – plus plenty of time for parents to see the amazing sights of the Jungfrau Region. Enjoy all this and more on this seven-day tour.

Your seven-day tour starts in Grindelwald. From the train station, it’s a 20-minute walk to the bottom station of the Grindelwald – Pfingstegg aerial cableway. The trip up to the mountain station takes just five minutes. Waiting for you at the top is a 725-metre-long toboggan run and a fly-line. On the latter, you sit in a harness system suspended from rollers and glide through the treetops at speeds of 8 to 12 km/h. The family-friendly attractions on Alp Pfingstegg also include a playground. All this activity is bound to make you and your family hungry. Bergrestaurant Pfingstegg offers a range of tasty lunch options. Once you've refuelled, it's time to take the aerial cableway back to the village. Your next stop is the Grindelwald Glacial Gorge, a mere 20-minute walk away. The walk through the gorge of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, which was once covered by glacial ice, passes through rock galleries and tunnels, and takes around two hours. On Fridays, it stays open until 10 pm. You can then either walk or take bus no. 122 back to the train station, where today’s programme ends.

Your second day starts in Wengen. From the station, it’s a five-minute walk to the bottom station of the Wengen – Männlichen aerial cableway with the Royal Ride, a very special aerial cableway. Basically, you travel up to Männlichen not in the cabin but on an open-air balcony on top of the cabin. It's a regal experience – and one that continues once you get to the top. The Royal Walk takes 20 minutes from the mountain station to the summit of the Männlichen, and to the viewing platform that is shaped like a crown. The view from here, which encompasses the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau triumvirate, is simply … fit for royalty. When you can tear yourself away from it, head for the Berghaus Männlichen and its large sun terrace for a tasty lunch. Right next to it is the Sennenspielplatz playground. Slap-bang in the middle stands Lieselotte, an 8.5-metre-high cow. Children’s eyes light up when they see what’s inside. Her cow pats are actually small trampolines. Feel free to jump in! The rest of the afternoon revolves around Lieselotte and the Lieselotte Trail, which runs from Männlichen to Holenstein and takes around 90 minutes. The themed trail tells the story of the famous cow, who originally came from a quiet village in Germany and is visiting the mountains for the first time. Upon completion of the trail, take the gondola cableway back down to Grindelwald, where today’s programme ends.

Today is all about adventure. It starts in Grindelwald. From the train station, walk with your family to the bottom station of the First Railway, 15 minutes away. A six-seater gondola will take you via Bort and Schreckfeld up to the First mountain station, just under 2,200 metres above sea level, in 25 minutes. The Cliff Walk starts here, so get ready for a thrill – and a breathtaking view. The steel walkway skirts the rock – and ends with a 45-metre-long footbridge that takes you out over the abyss. Wow! Need more of an adrenaline rush? Head down below the mountain station, where you’ll find the First Flyer. Up to four people, securely strapped in, can zip down the 800-metre-long steel cable to Schreckfeld at a top speed of 84 km/h. At the bottom, the First Glider awaits. You can fly to First and back in the clutches of a great eagle. It's now time for a bit of a breather, and the best way to take it easy is over a delicious lunch at the Bergrestaurant Schreckfeld. It’s located right next to the middle station of the First Cableway. After lunch, in the afternoon, take a Mountain Cart – a cross between a go-kart and a sledge – and race down the 3-km dirt track from Schreckfeld back to Bort. The Alpenspielplatz (Alpine playground) here is the ideal spot for the kids to let off steam. To get back to your starting point in Grindelwald, where this action-packed day comes to a close, you can either take the gondola cableway or complete the final stretch on a Trottibike (scooter bike).

Your day today starts in Brienz. From here, the PostBus will take you to Hofstetten and the Ballenberg Swiss Open-Air Museum. This is where you take a walk through history. The past becomes a tangible experience, with centuries-old buildings from all parts of Switzerland, 250 native farm animals, original gardens and fields, as well as demonstrations of traditional crafts and special events. These are all the things that make Ballenberg unique. There are more than 100 historic buildings to see here, and in some of them you are free to look around, touch and try things out as much as you like. You can really get a feel for life in bygone days. It's worth setting aside a whole day for exploring Ballenberg. Various food options are available. You and your family can get back to Brienz by bus.

The fifth day, which starts in Mürren, is entirely devoted to 007. It takes just 17 minutes on the aerial cableway to get from Mürren up to the Schilthorn, where the 1969 James Bond classic “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” was filmed. What is now the 360-degree revolving restaurant was the villain Blofeld’s base in the film. It was given the name Piz-Gloria, which has stuck to this day. Here, you can immerse yourself in the making of the 007 adventure at Spy World, an interactive exhibition on the film. On your way back, we recommend you stop off on Birg. As long as you don't mind heights, that is. Here, the rock footbridge Thrill Walk is a pure rush of adrenaline. Equally spectacular is the Skyline Walk viewing platform. It's the perfect spot for a family photo with a difference. All in all, you should allow three hours for your visit to the Schilthorn. Next, it's back down to the sleepy, car-free Alpine village of Mürren, before heading straight back up again. A mere five-minute walk from the Schilthorn cableway station will take you to the Allmendhubel funicular. It takes just four minutes to whisk you up to Mürren’s own little mountain, the Allmendhubel. You’ll definitely want to linger awhile on the large sun terrace of the Panorama Restaurant. While the kids let off steam in the large Flower Park adventure playground, the parents can enjoy a drink or a bite to eat, before the whole family takes the Allmendhubel funicular back to Mürren, where the programme for today ends. Alternatively, you can make the descent on foot, which takes around 45 minutes.

On the sixth day, things take a nostalgic turn. It all happens on the Schynige Platte. The 50-minute journey on the rack railway, which is more than a century old, from Wilderswil, up to 2,000 metres above sea level, is an unforgettable experience in itself. Upon arrival, you are welcomed by the sound of Alphorns – and a breathtaking view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The Panorama Restaurant, Alpine playground, Alpine garden with masses of local flowers and many family-friendly hiking trails ensure that a day on the Schynige Platte is a memorable experience for young and old. The day ends for you and your family as it began: with a nostalgic train ride back to the starting point.
