Alps

The Alps in the summer are an inspring place to be. Lauterbrunnen is a valley famed for its waterfalls, and is well placed close to the famous Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch mountain trio.

Your 7 day travel pass, which is included in the price of the holiday, will take you to places such as Wengen, Grindelwald, Murren, Interlaken and Kleine Scheidegg. It’s easy to access the whole region using the trains, cable cars and other lifts which leaves you to enjoy the activitys on offer. Our main focus is on walking in different areas, making the most of the rail pass to get us up high, then exploring further beyond the tourist attractions.

Other than walking, there are loads of other things to do including: visiting waterfalls, going to the Jungfraujoch, the highest trainline and observatory in the alps, mountain biking, via ferrata and travelling the lakes on a paddle steamer. This is an area to visit like no other.

Accommodation

We stay in a traditional, 200 year old wooden chalet which is also a family home and farm! We also use this Chalet in the ski season and find it a cosy and friendly place to stay. There are plenty of toilets, adequate showers, some sunny balconies and a large dining/living room.  The house is clean, warm and rustic.

Walking

The area offers a wide range of walks of differing levels of exertion. We offer a number of options each day including guided walks on 5 of the days. You are always welcome to join one of these groups or make your own plans – whether that is a different walk, doing other things or having a rest day.  There are also many other activity options. Don’t forget that an 8 day rail pass (for train, bus, cable car & boat) is included in the price!

Other Activities

For the adventurous amoung us there is potential for an overnight stay in a mountain and also to try via ferrata.  There are a number of different mountain huts in the area which give an amazing opportunitey to stay high in the mountains, weather and group depending. And / or, via ferrata is a great way to enjoy the experience of slightly harder climbs while being protected by the fixed cables and a climbing harness. If you are interested in via ferrata, please let us know before the holiday. There are also lots of biking routes and it is possible to hire bikes from the local shop.

Jesus + Christian Community

With Bible teaching each evening, we are commited to putting Jesus at the very centre of the holidays. We hope everyone will feel welcome whatever their beliefs or faith.

Transport

We travel to Switzerland by coach. It is environmentally friendly, a great way to get to know each other and avoids the hassle of lost luggage.  If coach travel really isn’t for you, it is possible for you to make your own arrangements and meet us in resort.  Find out more about coach travel, where we meet or arranging your own travel.

Catering

We love food! We choose to organise our own catering to help keep the costs low, and hope helping our cook for one day with cooking and washing up will be fun, and it defintley won’t cut into your walking time.

Inclusive Price

An 7 day travel pass for the Jungfrau region, full board accommodation and coach travel are all included in the price. This means the only spending money you need is for a few icecreams and a trip to the open air swimming pool.
