About this trip
Experience the very best of the Swiss Alps on this breathtaking journey through the heart of the Bernese Oberland. From the flower-filled, car-free village of Mürren to the sunny terraces of Wengen and the glacier-draped peaks above Grindelwald, each stop offers its own unique charm — and unforgettable alpine views. Ride scenic mountain railways and soaring cable cars, follow well-marked trails through lush meadows and pine forests, and soak in panoramas of world-famous peaks like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Along the way, reward your efforts with hearty mountain meals, local specialties like rösti and raclette, and the occasional slice of Apfelstrudel enjoyed in a sunny café.
Whether you're tracing the dramatic contours of the Eiger Trail, marveling at the icy world of the Jungfraujoch — the “Top of Europe” — or simply breathing in the pure mountain air from a quiet alpine path, this trip is packed with scenic wonders and soul-soothing moments. With charming chalet-style accommodations, flexible hiking options, and the ease of Swiss transport, this is an unforgettable alpine escape that perfectly balances adventure, relaxation, and postcard-worthy views at every turn.
Activity Level - Moderate
This trip is ideal for active travelers who enjoy walking and spending time outdoors. Daily hikes range from easy to moderate, but we are listing this trip as moderate level because you will have hiking on multiple days in a row. While a good level of fitness will help you make the most of the alpine terrain, walks are flexible, and you can tailor each day to suit your energy levels and interests.
Weather
June in the Swiss Alps is a beautiful time to visit, with long daylight hours, blooming alpine flowers, and pleasantly mild weather. Daytime temperatures in the valleys typically range from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), while it’s cooler at higher elevations, especially in the mornings and evenings. You can expect a mix of sunshine and occasional rain showers, so it's wise to pack layers and a light waterproof jacket — perfect conditions for hiking and enjoying the fresh mountain air.
Money & Tipping
All the excursions listed in the itinerary are included. Bring cash/credit cards for purchasing souvenirs, additional snacks/meals, alcoholic drinks, extra activities, and other items. You can either order Euros from your bank at home or use an ATM on arrival in Amsterdam to get some cash. Exchanging USD to Euros at the airport or at a bank in Europe is not always easy and doesn't give the best exchange rates.
All gratuities are included in your adventure, with the exception of tips for your Chicas Abroad Tour Leader. While tipping your Tour Leader is entirely optional, it’s a meaningful way to show appreciation for the care, energy, and behind-the-scenes magic they bring to your trip.
If you’ve had an exceptional experience, a typical gratuity for a trip of this length ranges from $250–$350. In cases where more than one Tour Leader is present, you’re welcome to give your tip to one of them—they’ll ensure it’s shared among the team.
