Vanjai:“The cable car is so stable and the atmosphere on the mountain is great. There are different things to do in different seasons.
In addition, the sky is very straight. People who are not afraid of heights must try to check in. The nature is really beautiful.”
Tania Akter (Sumi):“Engelberg-Titlis is a breathtaking alpine paradise that stole my heart! The panoramic views from the rotating cable car are absolutely unforgettable. From snow-covered peaks to thrilling glacier activities, every moment felt magical. The Titlis Cliff Walk offered an adrenaline rush with stunning scenery. Engelberg village, with its charming vibes and cozy cafés, added a peaceful touch to the adventure. Whether you're a nature lover or thrill-seeker, this destination is a must-visit.”
SUNSHINE ONUS:“Snow Lang is a famous mountain peak in the Swiss Alps, at an altitude of 2970 meters. It is a great place to see the Alps, with spectacular views of more than 200 peaks in the Alps, including the most prestigious Junfrau, Mönch and Eiger, on a clear day. Lunch at the 360-degree rotating panoramic restaurant on the top of the snowy mountain is the world's first revolving restaurant built on the top of the mountain, rotating around its axis every 45 minutes for a week. Very recommended snowy mountain view.”
Nachtisch:“The town of Spiez on Lake Thun is an absolutely charming place to visit. It is backed by mountains, faces vineyards and, most magnificently, is crowned by a splendid castle. The Niederhorn mountain range above the lake stretches all the way to the Bernese Alps, creating a magnificent panorama. The mild climate and bright sunshine make it an ideal starting point for exploring the many famous tourist attractions in the Bernese Oberland or Valais.
Spiez Castle is a highlight here, as is the castle gardens. From the castle, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding area. Likewise, a detour to the castle church is worthwhile.
There are many hiking and cycling trails around Spiez. In addition, the neighboring cities of Thun and Interlaken are also great for day trips. Last but not least, the Bernese Oberland is easily accessible from Spiez.”
我是水晶:“Paragliding in Interlaken is a popular sport among local tourists (especially European tourists). In every corner of Interlaken, looking towards the Jungfraujoch, you can always see paragliders floating in the sky around the Jungfraujoch like dandelions. I personally think paragliding is a game for the brave. Anyway, I don’t dare to play it. I can only watch and envy.”
横竖是二温小迪:“The last boat from Interlaken East Station to Lake Brienz was at 15:07, and when we went there, the boat had just left. The staff taught us to take the bus to Brienz, and then catch the boat at 16:40, and take the boat from Brienz back to Interlaken.
We bought a second-class Swiss pass, which allows free boat rides. There are not many seats in the second-class cabin, but there are more open-air seats. If you are afraid of the cold, you can get on the boat earlier. I sat in the restaurant at first and thought I had to consume, but after sitting for a while, I realized that there was no mandatory requirement.”
旅の径:“Herweg Street is to Interlaken what Chang'an Avenue is to Beijing and Nanjing Road is to Shanghai.
Herweg Street is 1,400 meters long. The east end is the East Railway Station and the west end is the West Railway Station. Both sides are full of luxurious hotels, elegant restaurants and various shops. The south side of the middle section of the street is the green Holhemat Green.
Visiting Herweg is a must for Interlaken.
The happiest thing is to look south on the street. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Jungfrau often shows its heroic appearance in the mist, inviting people who love it to take a photo together.
The most worry-free thing is that there are always tourists speaking Chinese dialects from all over the world on the street, and there are always shop assistants speaking standard Mandarin in shops, especially watch shops. Asking for directions and buying a watch, language communication is not a problem.
The most annoying thing is that there are many public toilets on the street, all of which are advanced coin-operated access control, 1~2 Swiss francs per time. If you want to find free ones, it’s impossible in shops and too difficult in restaurants. Don’t forget to bring a few Swiss francs with you when you go shopping.”
横竖是二温小迪:“A very beautiful park, located in the heart of Interlaken, surrounded by shops selling watches, luxury goods, and restaurants. Every time I pass by here, I can't help but take pictures. The European-style buildings are as beautiful as oil paintings against the backdrop of the large lawn.
We basically went there at dusk. There were not many tourists on the lawn, and we saw people playing paragliding.”
横竖是二温小迪:“We first took a train from Interlaken to Spez, and then took a boat from Spez to Thun. Lake Thunersee is known as God's left eye. I personally think it is a little worse than Lake Brienz, God's right eye. Lake Thun is greener, while Brienz is bluer. Of course, Lake Thun is also very beautiful, especially with the buildings and natural scenery on both sides.
If you take a boat, it is free with a Swiss pass. However, there are few seats in the second-class cabin, and it is a bit cold to sit outside. It is recommended to wear more clothes.
From Thun back to Interlaken, we chose to take the bus, and we can see different beautiful scenery along the way.”
行耀:“The beauty of Bern lies in the veins of its ancient buildings, in the cracks of its cobblestone streets, and in the history that unexpectedly appears at every turn. It is not only the capital of Switzerland, but also a living medieval museum. In an unassuming street corner arcade, I stumbled upon Albert Einstein's former residence, built from 1903 to 1905. The Bern Clock Tower is one of the most famous landmarks in Bern's Old Town, Switzerland, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 13th century, its dial displays not only the time but also the day of the week, month, constellations, and moon phases. It's incredibly detailed. At every hour, the tower's miniature figurines—a rooster, a bear, a knight, and more—start to ring and rotate.”
