      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.

      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.

    • Christmas in Locarno?

      by SurelyNot Online Now Oct 9, 2012 at 9:34 AM

      Hi A friend and I would like to spend three or four days in Locarno over Christmas. I've been before, but a friend has told me that restaurants and bars will be closed over this period (24 - 31 December). Is this true? We don't need a huge variety of options but we will need to eat out and hopefully spend night or two in the bars as well as finding B&B within a couple of kilometres of the town. Can anyone advise me? Would Lugano or Ascona be better options? Thank you!

    • Name that Statue

      by milesy80 Online Now Jul 23, 2009 at 4:39 AM

      On an all too brief visit to Locarno a month ago, I photographed a large statue near to or in the gardens adjoining the lake shore - and within walking distance of the railway station - and would like to know what it is about and to whom dedicated. It is in grey granite (?) with a Toscanini-like figure apparently reading from a scroll and surmounting a deep plinth, on which are a succession of human figures. I hope this brief description will serve to identify it. My photograph is good and clear but the inscriptions do not seem readable. Thank you.I liked Locarno and my train journey through CentoValli but I doubt I shall much longer be able to travel in Switzerland/Italy

      Campeggio Piccolo Paradiso

      I've just found out that our climbing club will hold its annual summercamp on Campeggio Piccolo Paradiso near Avegna in the Ticono region of Switzerland. Is there anyone who has been there and has comments on this campground? I've found a site about it on the net but personal insights are always more valuable, I think.
