My wife and I and 2 daughters are planning to spend a few days in the Interlaken area, actually east near Meringen. I have seen that the cost for Jungfrau is really high. Any ideas on other places to see mountains and glaciers that is not to expensive? I saw some things to see around Brig.

Thanks

I am a South African Citizen and will have a valid Schengen visa. I will be vacationing in Freiburg for 11 days ( 4-15 July 2013 ) and then will need to catch a flight out of Basel Mulhouse to Amsterdam. I will catch the train from Freiburg to the Basel Euro-airport and from the looks of it the train goes through Basel and therefore Switzerland - I will not have a swiss visa so will i be able to get to the airport?

We are planning to fly Newark by Swiss airline. Our holt at Zurich airport is for 9 to 10 hours so is it possible to explore Zurich for few hours on arrival visa or any bus facility is there to explore Zurich city for few hours on arrival visa.

Hi will be travelling to Switzerland (possibly staying around interlaken) in september and am wondering if there is snow in the mountains around this time? If so where and how is the best way to get there? Thank you

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.

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.

I am trying to book a train ticket from Zurich to Interlaken however, the website is only giving me dates with no times. Can you buy a roundtrip ticket and use that ticket at whichever time you'd like?

I need information on a hotel booking you made for me on 3/25/13.. I was never e-mailed the confirmation and when I called the telephone number on my statement, all I got was an automated response and couldn't get a person to talk to. PLEASE call me at 317-346-6678. My name is Barbara Weathers. The reservation was made on 3/25/13 for October 2013 in Ashville, NC. I think it was booked at a Holiday Inn. I'm not sure of that so you can see I need information on this. I really would appreciate a prompt response.
Thank you

Hello!

Is it possible with a single train ticket from Geneva to Interlaken (71 CHF) get off at the different stops to visit them and then with the same ticket continue the journey? I mean, stop at Laussane and visit it for 3 hours, get on the train and stop at Montreux, get off, visit for 2 hours and continue to Interlaken, everything with the same ticket?
Thanks.
