      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.

      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.
