Switzerland Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Jungfrau Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I see trees of green ♪
Beautiful alpine village nestled in the mountains with an amazing view of the Jungfrau valley and Lauterbrunnen down below. Taking the train up to Wengen will guarantee you a lovely view of Lauterbrunnen.
The village has shops, attractions and amenities within walking distance. Though, if you do decide to get a resort/hotel further up, be sure to ask for shuttle cars, the upwards slopes are no joke.
Our hotel had a lovely view of the cable car rides up to Männlichen, the street below and at night- if you’re willing to stand in the 14 degrees cold (even in summer) you can get a good picture of the night sky!
Of course, we couldn’t stay in Wengen without visiting Männlichen and her famous Royal Walk- a short hike of 1.7km, with elevations up to 80-120m up/down, grants you a truly breathtaking panoramic view. ((the gravel paths can be a bit slippery so be careful on the way down))
The trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg was an overall downhill walk with a view of Grindelwald down below and the snow capped mountains. But before you embark on this trail be sure to either get something to eat or drink (and the WC of course) at Männlichen as it is quite a long walk (about 4.7km). Near the midpoint you can see Eiger! A truly memorable walk with amazing scenery of the town below and mountains all around us.
Truly a scenic paradise with plenty of activities to do, whether you prefer to simply enjoy the views or try out some of their more thrilling activities. It was my first time visiting Switzerland but certainly won’t be the last!#switzerland #summervacation #nature #alps

Jungfrau | Top of Europe !!!! 🇨🇭
How to get there: There are 2 ways to go up Jungfrau: 1) By the Cable Car (Eiger Express) or 2) By train. We went up by the eiger express (from Grindelswald, interchanging at Terminal), and we came down by train.
Before we went up, we contemplated of joining a tour but given we have done a fair share of research, I ended up going by ourselves.
There are several viewing sites, which ofc include Jungfrau itself, ice palace, exhibition of history of the site construction of Jungfrau, and Lindlt chocolate museum.
It was negative 18 degree celsius on Jungfrau!!! So for those who cannot handle the cold, don’t visit during the winter 😂😂😂
Despite the weather condition was not ideal (no blue sky😣) but i guess it is as expected because we went during the winter ❄️)
Pro tip: I would recommend purchasing the swiss pass as you get discount for the jungfrau ticket and free transport within Switzerland!!

Grindelwald: A crime if you miss it!
Get here by train! We came via Basel and just enjoyed the scenic views from the huge train windows. Lake, villages, mountains, you won’t want to close your eyes!
Coming here in early autumn, we escaped the crowds and could explore First, Eiger, and Jungfraujoch with ease and little wait time. The mountains are magnificent all thru the year! The colours of the landscape will change and hiking to the Balchapsee is an experience in itself. Discovering WCs in the middle of nowhere, up
in the mountains, complete with toilet tissue is something only the Swiss can guarantee!
There are many hotels in this little village and all are within walking distance of the train station. We stayed at the Eiger Aparthotel as we wanted to prepare our own meals to save cost. Bookings come with daily afternoon tea and the variety of cakes, teas and coffees were an absolute treat!
There are many cafes around for fondue and all sorts of local delights. We opted to explore the two supermarkets for raw ingredients and cooked up our own dinners at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Do check out the different yogurt flavours, types of cheese, and cured meats too!
As it is a tourist destination, you can get souvenirs and major brands here. There is a post office (to send postcards) and some banks if you need forex.
My #2023travelwish is to drop by this beautiful place again in the SUMMER and take in the wonders of creation ❤️

Interlaken, charming village in Switzerland!
#2023travelwish
My most unforgettable vacation destination was Interlaken; a charming village beneath of Jungfrau, Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and nature beauty, sits between the emerald-coloured waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it has old timber houses and parkland on either side of the Aare River, truly a beatiful and picturesque holiday destination.
Interlaken is also a hotspot for paragliding, hiking and sightseers alike, and the gateway to exploring the Jungfrau region.
My 2023 dream destination would be Kyoto, Japan for stunning Autumn leaves.🍁

Engelberg - Titlis Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
TITLIS - A MOUNTAIN OF ADVENTURE 😍
Hello, this mountain is stunning! Beautiful landscapes and what fresh air! Very clean environment! No littering. So to the trip:
1. Buy tickets at the SBB counter, huge like for selling tickets.
2. If you go to the Top make, step out and visit Trübsee! 3. Bring warm clothes - the Top Top part is very fresh 10 Celsius.
4. Bring food and drinks. You can bug drinks and Ice cream for much more cost then downstairs in Engelberg. 5. The restaurant is very crowded and the waiters in stress and give harsh feedback if you ask if you have a table for 2?
6. People up there are very respectful and friendly! The complete opposite from Pilatus visitors that shown a very disrespectful manner.
7. The Gondels are very clean. Very good in shape and maintained.
8. Souvenirs shop just closed when we wanted to step in at 14.00h that was a wired closing hour. Usually shops in Switzerland closing between 16.00 - 20.00h but not at 14.00h. We got our souvenirs in Engelberg shop.
9. The last Gondel that brings you to the top makes a 360 turn! Amazing you see all of the glacier Trübsee etc! 10. On top the hanging bridge: wonderful made, very safe! Picture opportunity provided.
11. Ice tunnel walk: amazing, not words - just beautiful! Flowers were frozen in blokes, beautiful lightings! Just wow!
12. I can truly recommend Titlis!

ski fun at Mount Titlis
#skiadventure
Mt Titlis is located near Engelberg, and a trip up for us was free as we bought the Swiss pass. Up at the peak, there is only one season: Winter. So even in the month of May, the place was still suitable for some ski moments. Watched the people skiing was quite therapeutic. Our ski moments were when we did the snow-tubing. It was really fun!
I wish to be back soon for a real ski!

On Top Of the World - Mt Titlis
It is forever hot here in Singapore and If I can escape the heat, I would. I flew to Switzerland and I enjoyed the cool cold weather so much and especially the snow.
My friend and I made a tour up to Mount titlis and it was the best decision ever. This once in a lifetime experience was amazing as you get to see how magnificent the mountain was. The wind was extremely cold at the very top and Mt titlis is one of the highest mountains. The view was also breathtaking. You could play with snow or create a snow angel or even play with snow sledding.
Do wear thick jackets as it is really chilly but it is all worth it for the trip to the top!

VTL Europe: Zurich - Mt Titlis
Switzerland has been a country of my dream where I wanted to go study culinary or hospitality but too bad, I never do so have to wait for chance to go and visit this beautiful country.
I have to thank my partner for the surprise VTL trip. Although I hate to do PCR as it hurts, but the price is worth. We didn't come here straightaway, but we enter from Germany.
In Switzerland, we rented car and my partner is the one who drive. Drove from Zurich to Mt Titlis, and we stopped by Laderach to buy chocolate.
It was snowing and super cold, the weather which I love to discover. We had fun playing snowball fight at Mt. Titlis and took a few pictures as memories.
I can't wait for other countries to open VTL and you should travel too! Trust me, the price is worth to spent especially if you go to far away place like Europe or US.

Sky-High Secret: Unveiling the Alpine Splendor of Meiringen's Lesser-Known Peaks
Embark on a journey to one of the Alps' most hidden gems, a spectacular destination that begins with a scenic cable car ride from Meiringen to Reuti. From there, your adventure continues with a second cable car to Magisalp, followed by a third ascent to the summit, reaching an impressive altitude of 2250 meters above sea level. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a stunning 360-degree panorama, showcasing over 400 majestic peaks of the Alps.
At the summit, you'll find more than just views. A cozy restaurant invites you to relax and soak in the scenery. For the adventurers, numerous hiking trails emanate from the top, each offering phenomenal vistas in every direction. One notable route leads all the way to Trubsee, near the famous Mount Titlis. We opted for a shorter trek to a panoramic viewpoint, an experience that was both intimate and awe-inspiring, with no more than ten people sharing the summit with us.
The round-trip ticket is reasonably priced at CHF 54, but if you have the Berner Oberland Pass, this breathtaking experience comes at no additional cost. This serene and somewhat secret spot in the Alps is a must-visit for those seeking tranquility and beauty away from the usual tourist trails.

Top of Europe: Snow, Sculptures, Slopes
Hop on a train to reach Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, without the huffing and puffing! The air thins as you head up the mountain so take note not to over exert yourself.
The ice palace with beautiful ice sculptures is fascinating to visit, especially if you are from the tropics like me! Walking in the snow is fun but watch out for slippery ice as you queue to take a pic with Swiss flag. The view is breathtaking and it is COLD! Sunnies are really helpful with the blinding snow. Something special to do would be to video call your loved ones and show them the Top of Europe ❤️
There are a couple of eateries and a variety of shops if you are looking for Swiss gifts and keepsakes. The Top of Europe pass entitles you to some discount here.
Opt for the gondolas as you head down to Grindelwald first where you can get a cuppa hot (Lindt) chocolate: it’s amazingly good! That was our ‘cherry on top’ to complete this unique adventure.
My #2023travelwish is to bring my friends on a trip to New Zealand’s South Island to explore the glaciers and look out for wild life.

Geneva, the second-largest city in Switzerland
Geneva, home to many international organizations, is Switzerland's second-largest city, nestled by one of Western Europe's largest lakes, Lake Geneva. Upon arriving in Switzerland, the first impression is of cleanliness, even the waters of Lake Geneva are so clear that you can see to the bottom! The natural dividing line between Switzerland and France is Lake Geneva, where you can also find one of the world's tallest fountains, with water jets reaching up to 140 meters high! 👉 St. Peter's Cathedral is the most representative Catholic church in Geneva's old town 👉 The Palace of Nations was the headquarters of the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations, and is now the European headquarters of the United Nations 👉 The Broken Chair is an artist's longing for peace, with the chair's broken leg symbolizing the limbs lost by humanity due to war! Although Switzerland is expensive, the tourist bureau has prepared free transportation cards for visitors, allowing free use of buses, trams, and boats on Lake Geneva, which is very user-friendly. However, whether we take the tram or the boat, no one has ever checked or needed to scan
The Mysterious Fork by Lake Vevey: A Wonderful Fusion of Art and Nature
