Great video, thanks for sharing. Maybe you should mention the market names not only on the video but also on the description below, It would be more helpful for us to take notes. Also If you travelled from Basel, did you take the train? Have to book tickets in advanced?? Thanks again!! G.

May i know the cathdral need entrance fees or not? How much?

This posting is really packed with lots of useful information for both - tourists as well as ex-pats. For Americans who need to establish a banking relationship in Switzerland - Raiffeisen is most certainly the way to go. Food - throughout Europe - look for either ALDI - OR LIDL. Best quality/price - below Migros /Co-Op. Swiss Hotellerie is world-known - if you can afford it. If you combine the extremely high Hotel and Restaurant prices - AIRBNB is the solution. Cheaper Hotels outside the main centers are clean - but considerably below the standard that an Americana would expect Clean they are - don't be surprised - the rooms are smaller than you would expect and you might not like the idea that the "toilet" is somewhere on the floor.

Just came back from my 10 days trip from Swizerland and i can confirm that Jungfraujoch not worth the money and time. Couple of reasons based on my personal experience. 1- Very costly. 2- If you go during early Spring even till May end like i was there last week you wont get a chance to explore it. Snow activity area that also lead for hike to other area was closed due to SNOW. Staff mentioned if we have too much SNOW then we are not open. 2- If you cant get out of the building then why would you go in crowded place just to see everything from glass windows and nothing else. I know on SPINX terrace we have small open area but it is over crowded. My suggestion is to go to Kleine Scheidegg/Eigergletscher and go outside and see the beautify. My fav was Grindalwald First.

Can you do Rigi,Stoo and Pilatus in a day?

if you didn't know, in America there was a vote on what would be the national language, the choice was between German and English, the English language won by a few votes, because there was a perfect genocide against the natives

That was very helpful, thank you so much.

I respect your cow 🐄 may country

❤good 👍 nice food

Thanks!

Switzerland has too many strict laws

My driver license(s) are from Colombia and Mexico (both in spanish) what should I do?

Very nice & great insight. Thanks

I am a regular visitor to Switzerland, travelling around using a first class Swiss Travel Pass. Swiss public transport is so good that people who live there assure me that 'I do not have a car, I do not need one.' It is therefore extremely disappointing that you chose to drive to Saas Fee rather than take the IR 90 from Geneva to Visp and then the connecting 511 bus. BOTH SERVICES RUN TWICE AN HOUR. A lot of ski resorts are not on the rail system (eg Adelboden, Leukerbad, Lenzerheide, Flims), but all these resorts will have a bus service (at least once an hour) giving direct connections into the railway system.

9:06 yeah, every time I see someone break the rules I feel this itch in my brain “WRONG, that’s not allowed”. Maybe I will make a small comment, most of the time I just look on in shock and confusion. Could also have to do with my ridged thinking tho

Hello , I wanted to book consultation with you as soon as possible but can not see any time available in your schedule.

i am from switzerland and the jungfraujoch is not so filled with people

Expensive amd over rated.

Thank you for an extremely informative video. At the prices now being charged, (160 franks for Swiss Travel Pass holders ) the Jungfraujoch is just not worth it. Two further alternatives I would suggest are firstly, the Gornergrat, which costs about 50 franks if you have a Swiss Travel Pass. Unlike the Jungfraubahn which is mostly in tunnel,, the Gornergrat railway is almost entirely in the open. At the top there is an almost 360" view. Secondly the Mittelalallin, 3462m altitude, at stunningly beautiful Saas Fee. Saas Fee is reached by the 511 bus, which runs every 30 minutes from Visp. The assent to Mittelalallin is by two cable cars, and then an (underground) funicular.

I was delighted that Louis included the line from Lausanne up through the Vineyards on the way to Bern. In September 2019 I was travelling around Switzerland on a first class Swiss Travel Pass. I just managed to catch the !R15 leaving Lausanne at 1644. The only spare upstairs seat was next to a very well-dressed woman who spent most of the journey to Bern engrossed in her lap-top. But she did pause to admire the Lavaux vineyards! Nearly three hours later, watching the evening SRF news I had a shock. 'Hey, that the woman I was sitting next to on the train from Lausanne to Bern!' She was/is Bundesratin Karin Keller-Sutter, now (2024) Finance-Minister and Vice-President of the Confederation.

An excellent video, except that you do not stress important points about the Swiss Travel Pass. If you have an STP it will give you FREE travel on both lines up the Rigi; the Bernina Express bus from Tirano to Lugano; not only the whole of the line from Locarno to Domodossala but also the main line from Domodossola to Brig; the WAB between Lauterbrunnen and Wengen. Above Wengen the STP gives only a 25% discount. You rightly stress the joys of the Gornergrat line. STP gives a 50% discount on that line. The Gornergrat, with a near 360% view at the top, is very definitely value for money. The Jugfraujoch is grossly overpriced.

I have been visiting Switzerland since 1971. The reasons. (1) the fantastic scenery (2) It has the best public transport in the world (3) The Swiss Travel Pass (introduced 1972) which allows me unlimited use of all Swiss public transport except the high mountain lines. The STP allows me to change my mind as to where I am going in mid-journey. You cannot normally do that with tickets bought using a half fare card. And of course the only time I have to buy a ticket is when I want to travel on a high mountain line not included in the pass. Not having to fuss with ticket machines, booking offices or Apps is a huge advantage of the STP.

I am a regular British visitor to Switzerland. I travel around using a first class Swiss Travel Pass. Melchsee-Frutt is one place I have never visited, I have seen the bus to Stockalp waiting in the bus station next to Sarnen railway station! The STP is of course valid on this bus route, and gives a 50% discount on the Gondelbahn up to Melchsee. In this series about out-of-the-way resorts, can I suggest you include Stoos?

I have visited Leukerbad a number of times, and it is certainly a very beautiful location, The bus ride up from Leuk bahnhof to Leukerbad is also extremely exciting, and like all rural Swiss bus routes it is covered by the Swiss Travel Pass. And the connection between bus and train at Leuk is extremely easy. The bus stop is right alongside the platform for trains bound for Lausanne. And it is at the top of the ramp which leads to the pedestrian underpass under the tracks to the Visp/Brig platform. A weakness of your videos is that you seem to largely ignore the excellent rural buses. Swiss public transport in Not Just Trains.

How many people can use one swiss pass?

I have watched this video at least 4 times preparring for our trip. I am so excited to do the Archaelogical Windows. I would have never found taht on my own!

Bruh jungfraujoch is so good

One day, this guy from a full tropical country, will see all of this stunning whiteness.

Guys i was born and raised in Switzerland and i can tell you that these places can look terrible because of bad weather, polloution or just people. If you're lucky you'll get some breathtaking results, especially the Jungfraujöch.

Can we see good amount of snow on this route in June 2nd week? We want to go on this train only if the view has snow covered views on the way.

Talking about patriotism: In Germany, there is a widespread vile hatred against the own country. Basically throughout the leftist spectrum. Even displaying the own flag or singing the anthem often counts as ultra right wing radical. Merkel threw away the German flag with disgust and many official bodies show rather the rainbow flag.

You have a strange definition of patriarchy... 🤔

Switzerland the most beautiful place on earth! I have been many times and never tire of its stunning views, especially the Berner Oberland. It's absolute heaven 💖

You are being very diplomatic in regards to Interlaken. My experience there: it felt like you were in Japan with all the Japanese tourists….all the business signage also including Japanese. It was certainly different to every other place i visited in Switzerland. Apparently the Japanese love this area and why not. It is sensational. Just doesn’t feel like Switzerland. Whilst expensive i do think the trip up to Jungfraujoch is worth the cost. Same as the train trip to Gornergrat at Zermatt. There are some things that seem expensive but they provide incredible memories. If you do go to Junfraujoch to see the top of the Aletsch glacier it is also worth catching the cablecar from Fiesch up to Eggishorn to see the bottom end of the Aletsch glacier. Spectacular. Switzerland is a magnificent country with jaw dropping scenery. Enjoy.

Are you sure the glacier alpine coaster is open from may and not June I was thinking of going there in may but I am scared that it will be closed

Very good information thank you !!!

Hi guys great video. I want to visit Zermatt either in October or November, but won't it be mostly foggy to see the Matterhorn? Seeing the Matterhorn is my main priority. Thanks.

This video really cracked me up. i was laughing galore. The culture shock you guys have mentioned are really good. I live in US in NJ for 45 years. I have also seen a lot of things have changed. The tipping in US after covid has just gone outrageous even for not being served for anything people expect tips at register.

I was there in Switzerland for 5 times. Switzerland Is always beautiful in 4 season

Still it's beautiful. The same.

Their patriarchy is at the core of why they are so successful as a country. I'm Swiss and now live in the US, and feminism has ruined this place, looking forward to returning home to Switzerland.

Which month did u shoot this in?

Hello, I have Swiss travel pass 2nd class with 2 children having Swiss family card as they are below 16 and travelling with both their parents. How do we go ahead to reserve glacier express for children ? Adults with Swiss pass getting it at 49CHF . What option do we chose for children with Swiss family card while booking ? When we select child 6-15.9yr as option it cost 185CHF per child - why ?

Thank you for providing such useful information! Greatly appreciated.

Just came back from Switzerland and was shocked by a restaurant in Zermatt that charged chf8.00 for a glass of tap water. Also, some of hotels don't include the tourist (city) taxes with the hotel bill. And, they made you pay it on top.

We booked our first seats in this area. We're going to Hawaii and it's over 8 hr. Flight. Do you get to keep the blanket or no

WAIT A MINUTE. TOURIST AT THE HOTSPOTS NOOOO WAYYYYY🤣
