The Jungfrau valleys, the lakes of Thun and Brienz and the resorts of the Simmental, Saanenland and Frutigland, all linked by train, bus and cable car. The choice comes down to three things: altitude, whether cars can reach the village, and how long it takes to get to the mountain you came for.

In the middle of the valley: Wengen is 12 minutes away by train, Mürren about 20 minutes by cable car and train.
No cars in the village, but shops and restaurants right by the station.
The highest of the five at 1638 m, car-free, and reached in two stages from Lauterbrunnen.
From Grindelwald Terminal, the Eiger Express route reaches the Jungfraujoch in about 45 minutes.
