Work is progressing well at the Schilthorn for the next ski season and the start of the major refurb !! (Construction starts this summer over 2 years in 4 stages at the Schilthorn. Total spend 7.5 million CHF)

Long time wengen visitors now but we've always either flown to Berne or had taxi from Zurich airport to Lauterbrunnen. Looking at train from Zurich airport to Lauterbrunnen this year to save cash, can anyone help me as to how long we need to allow from landing time to train departure? is an hour enough?
Any other inside info or heads up regarding train transfer would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

@steve_68, an hour should be fine but I don`t think you have to book onto a specific train - you can just buy the ticket and take the first avaialble to Bern -- Interlaken -- Lauterbrunnen.

@steve_68, Zurich's usually pretty easy to get out of and Swissly efficient with baggage.
As @Nadenoodlee, says, no need to book trains and so you just need to ensure you don't arrive so late in the day that you miss a connection.

@steve_68, Welcome to snowHeads!
You probably know this already, but if you are travelling from Zurich to Lauterbrunnen then you'll find that the Swiss Transfer Ticket (which has to be bought before you arrive in Switzerland) is probably your best option. You can buy them from a number of places, I normally use https://www.swisspasses.com/railpass/transfer/
I take it you saw my earlier post about being able to get a 20% discount on your skipass if you book online here more than 3 weeks in advance?
Have you got your accommodation in Lauterbrunnen arranged yet? If not I can recommend the Hotel Schützen, which I've stayed at twice, most recently earlier this year.

The Swiss transfer ticket was cheaper on Black Friday last November. Think someone posted it on here. I remember buying it anyway and it worked out perfectly.

@Nadenoodlee Thanks for that, if we dont have to book a specific train we should be fine, we land 11.30am so hopefully make Wengen around 4 I should think - time for a beer and getting skis sorted
@Alistair_Pink I didnt know about the transfer ticket, will definitely look into that. I had seen the skipass offer, thank you, we took advantage of that last year, it's quite a saving.
My original post was misleading , we always stay in Wengen - back to the Wengenerhof this year after a few years elsewhere.
Thanks for all the advice everyone.

In that case the transfer ticket will of course cover your journey the entire way from Zurich airport to Wengen.

@Alastair Pink, Have you managed to use that link to buy passes in advance? I want to buy passes for a group of us for our week beginning 28 December but the link doesn't seem to work! Maybe one can only do it 21 days exactly beforehand?

@Deedee, Thanks! I emailed them and they said it might be a problem with the browser I was using so I'm going to try another one

Hmmm, 27cm of snow fell over night in Mürren...and it kept on snowing (only 5cm in Wengen)

@Chris Brookes, I'll be in Murren on December 18 for a couple of days, assuming there's enough snow. Otherwise it's Zermatt. Would love it you could post further on the conditions if you're still around in December. Cheers.
