    skip Meggenhorn and go to the "Dreilindenpark" instead for a picnic with a stunning view. take Bus Number 14 to "Konservatorium" and climb the stairs. to retur to the city, you walk all the way down Wesmelin Monastry and then the famous "Hexensteige" and then end up near the Lion Monument.

    3:40min abouth the weather: my experince with weather in the alps: generally best conditions in the mornings and at the evening. Over day it becomes often more cloudy and can restrict views - especially into the distance. Often it clears in the evening - the problem by this: most destinations where you can get up by cable cars and other closes at 4 or 5 p.m., so its often to early or you haven´t much time anymore to stay up there. (The better choice are fpr example: Gornergrat near of Zermatt. Latest trains are around 7 or 8 p.m. in the summer. Stanser Horn near Lucerne: in sommer on some days you can stay up there until after sunset.)

Thanks again, love watching your videos, I have been able to plan so much from these. We go in September. We are doing the Berina Express from Italy then the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt. We will stay in Zermatt then on to Grindelwald and visit the fabulous Lauterbrunnen 👌

    Hi there! It's doable, especially since the cable car stations are just a 5-minute walk from one another. But keep in mind that you can find yourself standing in lines all day if you try to do a few activities at Grindelwald First. Hope you have fun!

    why do all these Italian tourist advice channels keep acting like it is a big deal that dinner starts at 8pm? It's not uncommon at all in America to eat dinner this late.

  • @AplinsintheAlps

    In our part of the USA (southeast), most people finish eating dinner by 7pm, that’s why we mentioned it! And a lot of folks put their kids to bed by 8:30, so eating at 8pm is a different cultural experience!
