How
to Get from Interlaken Ost to Gimmelwald:
At the Interlaken Ost station, board the front car of the train
for Lauterbrunnen. (The rear car goes to Grindelwald.)
At Lauterbrunnen, there is a Post Coach (in the evening, a Schilthornbahn
Coach) waiting across the street in front of the tourist office going
to the Schilthorn cable car station at Stechelberg.
The first cable cable car stop is Gimmelwald. Walk into the village
and follow the path up the hill. A sign points to "Hotel Mittaghorn."
You can also take a less steep but longer path, following the main road,
which also leads to the Hotel Mittaghorn. This walk takes about 20 minutes.
If you have heavy luggage that you do not need, you can check it in
lockers in Lauterbrunnen. If you leave your luggage in the locker more
than 24 hours, there will be a surcharge. If your luggage is too large
to fit in the locker, you can leave it at the counter at the station.
