This was quite helpful. How did you manage the baby with the stroller during all these activities? I am travelling with an 18 month old and I am curious about what activities we can do.
well done
ممكن سوال هل نستطيع أن نصل بسيارة إلى هنا وهل مواقف السيارات مجانا وشكرا
Great Info, it's easy to get caught out, even by little things that can mess your whole day up, so a good heads up! Yes the Do-not's are as important as the Do's!
All this hate for the Jungfraujoch is unfounded. For a first time traveler to Switzerland visiting the Jungfraujoch (if they can afford it) is a rich and rewarding experience (in spite of the maddening crowds). It has almost become a fashion these days to dismiss all well known attractions as tourist traps without providing any context as to for whom they should be designated as such. For first time travelers, Jungfraujoch is a place worth visiting not just for the summit but the views on the way and down the summit.
Hi, I have been planning a trip to Switzerland and it is actually coming soon but one thing is not clear and I cannot find info about it - do I need to book tickets for the mountain trains and gondolas which are included in the Berner Oberland Pass? I can see options for Swiss pass and other discounts but BOP is never listed- does it mean I can justo go to the station and jump into any free trains and gondolas without previous ticket purchase? Thank you for your help and for all the inspiring videos!
My advice for visitors - bring an umbrella. The weather here in Switzerland (Interlaken) have been a bit odd. Rain. A few day of sunshine. And then more rain and chilly. A bit of sun. And again more rain ☔
Hmm The Jungfrau is a great trip, best to go all the way by train and enjoy the atmosphere and great views.
I think it would be helpful to include comments about what time of year your videos and pictures are taken from. We found out shortly before our trip that many things mentioned in these videos were still closed for the winter, even at the end of May.
Is there any luggage restriction in Golden Pass train ? Can we carry 2 large trolleys for 2 people in it?
the river Aare DOES turn that turquoise colour. Only not the whole year round. mainly in spring.
Can i use a capital one credit card?
I booked hotels for next week in Interlaken but forgot to check what it looks like at that time of the year. There's still snow and the grass is brown I'm gonna jump off a cable car 😭
We did the egg itaramen hike today, and it was amazing. Best possible views. Thanks for recommending. On the way back, we took the inner tracks (not the bus route) and it made the trek memorable.
So glad to hear this!
Amazing
Wow this video was pack jammed with great info !
love to get your 3 day iten. written out as so many details, trains, furniculars, etc
Very useful... Thanks
NEED SWISS FMILY CARD FOR MY GIRLS 10 YRS OLD TWINS AND ME JULY 9TH
Wow ! INTERLAKEN A TRAP? Didn't you go Paragliding there for free?
As we mention in the video, it's an amazing base for activities - but not a destination in and of itself we suggest going out of your way to see the village, it's just a good base
Really liked it bro..enjoy with your partner...❤
👍 just subscribed (❁´◡`❁)
Efficiently done.
I don't agree with you about the Yungfraujogh. Yes it is ridiculous expensive, but that is the case with a lot of things in Switzerland. I found it a very nice trip, especially the walk to the mountain hut on the glacier. Ofcourse there ar always better and nicer things to do, but if you go there in the early morning it's nice. Maybe Zermatt wil blow my mind next august.
Das stimmt nicht ganz
So I have checked on SBB app and for four of us it’s showing 65 francs from Leuk to Geneva if we choose super saver class upgrade . Question in here if we purchase this ticket can we still travel and do we need to have any travel card to purchase this ticket or we don’t need
Thanks for this very helpful video ❤ Does swiss travel pass cover all these cable cars and other transportation services?
It does not, the Swiss travel pass is generally not great in this region. We recommend the berner oberland pass which will cover all of this
You are probably one of those tourists that would go to Iceland in the summer to see the Northren Lights.
I am planning for a July trip. Can I stay in Zermatt and visit interlaken and grindelwald for a day trip? Is it too much to cover in a day? Please reply
Thanks...
I live here😌
Your hubby looks like Fondue 🫕
Thanks for pointing out those places and sharing your experience
I purchased the Grindelwald itinerary from the website. Very detailed. Made my job easy. No research on what to do. Just review and decide what you want to do.
How do you get from Lugano to the Tamaro Coaster Bob? I saw that you take a train from Lugano to Riviera-Bironico but from there what do you do?
WOW! What a perfect timing that you released this video and it’s coming from the best KZreadrs for Switzerland. I am going in August and your videos never fail to impress me with great info! Thanks Alexis and Louis🥰
Truly appreciate all your videos that are encouraging me to plan a trip to Switzerland. However, I will likely visit in December, and I plan to stay in Interlaken, enjoy 2 to 3 days around the mountain areas and a few of those from this video, then travel out daily to explore Bern, Bienne, or Lucerne (2-3 days) before departing via Zurich. It seems that this method can minimise the time in check-in/out hotel, yet able to cover other interesting places which are very reachable from Interlaken. Do you recommend this idea? Thank you.
Hi!😀 can i check which date and month did you visit Grindelwald? :)
How many days did you stay in St Moritz for those activities? Thanks
Love your videos. Is it ok to travel solo on these trains? thanks
This video is gold. Thanks. Love your videos. We are going to Switzerland in a few weeks and your videos have helped me a lot for planning and comfort. Greetings from Sweden!
I love your channel! My family and I are will be in Switzerland in July and you guys have been so helpful. If we start early, do you think we can do Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald in one day? We’ll be coming from Lucerne.
What is the season where you recorded the video?
What about infants? are they allowed on the rides ?
No there are minimum weights and age limits for the rides - I believe 10 years old for most / 35 kg
My family is from Bönigen near Interlaken. Any suggestions on doing family history tourism in that area?
How would you compare Jungfrau to Mount Titlis?
Interlaken was not bad, but please please avoid the Chinese restaurant called Asia Restaurant right next to the Interlaken OST station. Horrible service and food not good but pricy.
I have arrived Laussane from Bern today, first impression was far from Zürich and Bern, while the later two are more organized and tidy, people are more friendly, and feel safer there too.
Great video! We went there May 2023 and you were very helpful! Please keep doing these kind of videos. We absolutely plan to go back. Quick question: what month you guys did that itinerary? I’m asking because we were there may 20th and there was much more snow. Thank you!
Thank you, very good video 👍💯💕
