The 5 Evening Experiences in Switzerland That Earn Their Price

1.Night Sledding from Interlaken

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 53 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $131Our pick

Ride into the Swiss Alps after dark, take a small cable car to a mountain village, then sled for about an hour through snowy meadows and forest back to the van. Guides explain sled control and stay nearby. The route and start point can change with snow conditions. Minimum age is 10.

“This was a great outdoor adventure, both terrifying and exhilarating… sledding down the mountain paths at night. Our original venue was canceled due to lack of snow; Outdoor + organized a similar excursion to an even taller slope, and it was enjoyable for all the family!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $222Top rated

Join Weronika for a moderate sunset hike from Wengen, the car-free mountain town above Lauterbrunnen. She leads you to scenic viewpoints, prepares Swiss cheese fondue with bread and pickles, and serves three Swiss chocolates afterward. The 3-hour-45-minute outing suits couples, families, and small groups seeking quiet views, local food, and helpful advice about the Jungfrau region.

“Weronica gave us an unforgettable experience and it was a pleasure to be on her tour. She took us on a gorgeous hike, then made delicious fondue for 10 on the mountain with gorgeous views, followed by sunset. Weronica gave us three tours this week, and helped us before and after with meals and other travel planning. She’s a delight!”

3.Night Sledding with Fondue

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $171

Leave Interlaken at 6 pm for a guided night sled run in the mountains. Ride for about an hour through woods, alpine meadows, and past frozen waterfalls, then sit down to a traditional Swiss meal with one drink. The route may shift with snow conditions. Sleds, transport, and the gondola ticket are included.

“Very fun experience- sledding through the town of Murren at night was truly unbelievable. Beautiful views and scenery. Make sure to take time on your own to take pictures as our group had a number of sledders who wanted to always go once we got to a stopping point and we would not have had the opportunity to take pics if we hadn't stopped and took the time ourselves (no fault of the guides, just a heads up if you want pics/vids). Great guides, easy logistics, very friendly and helpful”
