I wanted to go to Jungfrau, but the weather was not good. I didn't see it clearly in the fog. I took the train and turned to the cable car, which was a bit disappointing. Of course, the scenery should be beautiful when it is sunny.
Cost-effective, you can see the opposite Jungfrau, you can get a discount by taking the cable car with the traffic pass, want to buy a one-way and then walk down, and then the conductor patiently persuaded me. The mountain top restaurant is good and has WIFI. The snow-capped mountains and green forests coexist beautifully.
[View] At 2970, magnificent, you can overlook the lake to the northwest; you can see the valley of Laut regardless of tenderness; you can see the town of Milen (the most beautiful place in Interlaken) in the middle of the mountain, and most importantly, you can see the panoramic view of Jungfrau. The snow on the top of the mountain is just right, with boulders in the middle and green woodland at the foot of the mountain. [Fun] Because it is the shooting location of the 007 film "Queen's Order", the furnishings on the top of the mountain are based on the theme of 007, such as the silhouette of 007 characters on the platform; When you enter the men's toilet, the broadcast will play "ha,Bond,you are here!" of course, the most important thing is that the cableway on Xuelangfeng is divided into 4 sections, three transfer points, each point can go out of the cableway station to play, which includes Mirren, cliff plank road, etc., very play. [Cost-effective] Some people will entangle in the day trip to the girl or the snow Lang, I think it is no problem to go, because the Jungfrau mountaineering train is privately operated, about 1,500 yuan, and when using the Swiss pass, the cable car is about 64 euros round trip. There is WIFI on the top of the mountain, inexpensive water bar 🍸🍴, 360-degree revolving restaurant 🥐🍧. Of course, there are a lot more to play than Jungfrau, as mentioned above. [Transportation] From Interlaken East Station train 🚞 to Laut regardless of the Neng Valley, go north to the ropeway station 🚠, very convenient, about 7:20 first class, but at that time, go up to the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, can not see too far. You can walk 🚶 climbing and going down the mountain. I spent 9 hours going down the mountain. The scenery along the way is beautiful and worth it. The walking road is clear and guided. [Others] Be sure to go to Mirren for a walk, exquisite to the extreme place, sitting in the restaurant, facing the peaks of the East!
The feeling of the magnificent world, the fresh and refined scenery, the sweet air at the entrance
Near Interlaken, besides the famous Girl Peak, there is also the famous Snow Lang Peak, which is famous for filming the 007 Queen's Order. Mount Xuelang is about three kilometers above sea level. On the viewing platform, you can see a group of mountains, such as the Girl Peak, the Monk Peak, Egg Peak and so on. The 360 degree revolving restaurant on the top floor is great. Because it was once the scene of Queen 007's secret decree, there were 007 elements everywhere. Every time the cable car started, it played 007 music, even men and women's toilets. The most important thing is that every time you press the toilet pump button, you will play the sound of gun battle, so many people only listen to gun battle everywhere. It's really thirteen o'clock. The traffic room first takes the train to Lauterbrunnen, then changes the 141 bus to Stechelberg (usually the bus departure time is 5-10 minutes after the train arrives at the station), and then changes the cable car to go directly. The cable car is discounted by pass.
It started to snow when I arrived at the platform, and the scenery was not visible at all. The children had a great time. We only had a group of six people as if it was not cold at all.
Xuelang Mountain Scenic Platform is so good that I can see three peaks such as Girl Peak very clearly. Because of this, I almost feel that since I can see it so clearly and so close, there is no need to go to Girl Peak any more. 007 theme peak, a cable car is 007 music, very funny. It's worth praising the Xuelangfeng Rotary Restaurant. It has a Chinese menu. It feels like the basic service is very good. And the swisspass cable car discount is worth recommending.
Mount Xuelang is a peak in the Alps. It's snowy all the year round. It's like a dream. Climbing the peak can take a cable car, but the price is very expensive, and there are small trains but only half the mountain to the rest of the need for hiking. It's very cold in the mountains. We must keep warm.
