      How hard is the hike to Augstmatthorn?

      Interlaken May 17, 2013 at 9:51 AM

      I have seen pictures and this hike looks amazing! But unfortunately I can't find a lot of information about the length or level of difficulty of the hike. Our time in Interlaken is very limited so I want to do as much of the planning now as I can so we don't waste any time. We will be there the first week in June.

      Airline check-in facility

      Switzerland May 14, 2013 at 12:19 AM

      I understand that there is a facility where you can check in your baggage one day in advance and get your boarding pass from selected Train Stations in Switzerland.
      I along with my husband will be flying out from Zurich in June with Swiss Airlines. I wish to know what are the charges for advance check in facility. Charges are as per number of passengers or number of baggage.

    • Jungfrau - Problem with the tickets

      Interlaken May 13, 2013 at 2:31 AM

      Hello!
      We would like to go to Jungfrau on Saturday 1st June due to an special offer for Spanish people but with this offer is compulsary to make the reservation on-line and then print the tickets in paper (it is not possible to buy the tickets at the station).
      We have contacted the hotel but they have told us it is not possible to do it at the hotel.
      As weather predictions can vary a lot from one day to another, it is complicated to reserve it before leaving home.
      So, could anybody inform us about if there is any place at Interlaken where we could book and print the tickets or how could we solve the problem?
      Thanks.

    • Driving through the Alps in April

      by ell369 Online Now Jan 2, 2012 at 7:36 AM

      Hi folks My girlfriend and I are planning a very long trip around Central and Northern Europe in our campervan. We have done alot of research, but the Alps is something we need a little help with. What are the driving and weather conditions like during April? We plan to travel from place to place in the camper, stopping to do outdoor activities like hiking. We don't mind it being cold, but I'd rather the roads weren't either closed or dangerous whilst in an old VW! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    • Help on swiss passes

      by AmyKitchen Online Now Feb 5, 2011 at 3:04 AM

      Hello, We are driving over to Switzerland this July and using Interlaken as our base for 9 days, during this we have booked one night in Zermatt. We intend on using swiss transport whilst there, but are totally confused at which pass to buy. There's the swiss youth pass (we're 23) but then there are also the 'Jungfrau Region 6 Day Pass' and 'The Adventure Card Upper Valais - Uri - Grisons pass'. Basically, we want the pass (or passes) that give us the cheapest travel for traveling: from Interlaken to Zermatt, Harder Kulm, Schynige Platte, Jungfraujoch (Top), Luzern and Grindelwald. But we are then driving over to Davos for 3 days and will be using swiss transport there too. I cant seem to find anything about what discounts or free usage you can get on any cable cars etc (as we'll be using them a lot) Can anyone help? Many thanks! Amy
