Travel Program:

July 23, 2025: BELGRADE – NOVI SAD
Departure from BELGRADE from the Sava Center parking lot around noon. From Novi Sad around 1 PM from the ATP Vojvodina tourist terminal. Exact times will be known the day before, about which the agency will inform you. We continue with a leisurely drive towards Switzerland with group breaks and customs activities.

July 24, 2025: LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY (Staubbach and Trummelbach Waterfalls) – GRINDELWALD
ROUTE LENGTH: 14km, ELEVATION DIFFERENCE: 200m, DIFFICULTY: EASY
In the early morning hours, we arrive at the incredible Lauterbrunnen Valley, known for the water cascading down its dramatic cliffs, creating 72 waterfalls. You know those internet clips that show waterfalls falling above a village—well, this is where they are!
We will have a leisurely walk through the valley, closely approaching the STAUBBACH waterfall, which falls from a dizzying height of 300m, and TRUMMELBACH, known for allowing visitors to go behind the waterfall itself. Those interested can pay on-site to experience something truly unique!
After the easy walk, we will have a short drive to nearby GRINDELWALD, check into our rooms, and relax for the rest of the day in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountain giants.

July 25, 2025: GRINDELWALD – KANDERSTEG – OESCHINEN LAKE (Optional)
ROUTE LENGTH: 14km, ELEVATION DIFFERENCE: 900m, DIFFICULTY: CHALLENGING
In the early morning hours, we will have a short drive to KANDERSTEG and begin our walk to one of the most beautiful lakes Switzerland has to offer. With over 1500 lakes, competition is tough.
However, this is what we are sure has been popping up on your social media! It’s unique because it’s surrounded by almost vertical cliffs, as if someone chiseled a perfect hole in the mountain and placed the lake right there! And the water color? A turquoise that can be found in very few places on the planet. We will hike to the shore of the lake, then around to several viewpoints to enhance our experience of this natural wonder!

July 26, 2025: GRINDELWALD – STOOS RIDGE (Optional)
ROUTE LENGTH: 14km, ELEVATION DIFFERENCE: 1000m, DIFFICULTY: CHALLENGING
In the early morning hours, we will have a short drive passing by Lake Brienz and Lucerne. We will then arrive at the steepest cogwheel railway in Switzerland, taking us to the small village of STOOS, surrounded on one side by perfect green meadows and on the other by a dramatic mountain ridge.
We can expect the officially most beautiful ridge walk in Switzerland! The path is perfectly maintained and secured, with views that stir the imagination... On one side is Lake Lucerne, while on the other, the eternal snows of the Alps bring fresh air perfumed with the finest wildflowers. An enchanting walk is hard to imagine!
If time permits, we might stop in the city of LUCERNE to take a couple of steps on the world's oldest wooden bridge and gaze at our reflections in the lake we spent the whole day beside!

July 27, 2025: GRINDELWALD – TICINO (Verzasca Valley) – NOVI SAD – BELGRADE
In the morning, we pack our things onto the bus and begin our slow return. We will pass various lakes and mountains, trying to remember as many details as possible to keep them in our memories forever.
After a few hours, we will veer off the main road to at least scratch the surface of the famed VERZASCA valley in the TICINO region, known for small mountain villages with charming traditional stone houses.
We will make a short photo stop to admire the turquoise waters of the Verzasca and take a brief stroll through one of the surrounding villages that dates back centuries. We head back to Serbia.
