We're staying in Gstaad and plan to hike from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. We will drive to either Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, depending on parking options. From there we need suggestions for transport to Mannlichen. I know there's a cable car from Wengen, but not sure how to go from Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald to Mannlichen.
So we would appreciate suggestions on where to park and how to get from the parking location to Mannlichen.

For your transit options:

Go to the Swiss Rail web-site:
https://www.sbb.ch/en/timetable.html

Enter your start and end points, your date, etc.

Voila!

For your parking options:

Go to google maps. Enter the name of the place near which you wish to park. (Why, oh WHY, are you driving in Switzerland, of all places!!!) Once google maps finds that location, click on "nearby" and type "parking" into the resulting box.

Voila!

For Lauterbrunnen parking:

Take train from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen. Get off train and walk halfway down the main street in Wengen for Mannlichen gondola.

If you stay on the train you will eventually end up at Kleine Scheidegg.

For Grindelwald you would take a "ski lift" type gondola up to Mannlichen.

You can view gondolas on YouTube.

You could also park in Interlaken or Wilderswil.

I love the Schynige Platte train ride!

I suppose you didn't forget the cableways to phantastic viewpoints around Gstaad:
Col du Pillon - Glacier 3000,
Gsteig - Lake Sanetsch (1 hr on foot from Sanetschpass),
Leysin - La Berneuse.

easiest is to drive to Lauterbrunnen and park there in big parking station, train from Gstaad is about 5CHF pp one way. Then train to Wengen and cable car up to Mannlichen. Walk to KS is about 90 minutes. Then you can walk down to Wengen from KS about 2 hours and save a train fare. Then train to LB for your car.
