Does the cable car from Wengen cost 5ch each way or 25? You said at the end it’s 50ch round trip from Wengen.

[@Papudepapus1]

Im going next week, are there any plans with rain? 😞 its gonna be raining all week

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi there! We know it can be discouraging to see bad weather in the forecast. But hopefully this will help! The phone weather apps often do a poor job of predicting the weather. For example, mine showed thunderstorms today. But the sun has been out all day except for a one or two-hour period when it rained/stormed. Our suggestion is to use meteoswiss.ch for your weather forecasts for Switzerland. It's more accurate and will help you choose the best part of the day to get out and explore!!

[@corazongamboa6540]

Hi Jana and Brett. All your videos are amazing and very informative. Will be in Switzerland in august for the very first time. To be honest narrowing down to where to go, see and do is tough. Will be staying in the jungfrau region for 4 nights and making Lauterbrunnen as our home base. Mannlichen is on my lust as a must see and the panoramic hike. I’m traveling with my husband who has mobility issue so I will be doing this excursion by myself and I’m doing the panorama hike as well. I’m doing this on our last day and I wanted to spen sometime in Lauterbrunnen as well, stroll the village and see the falls. How much time should I spend in Mannlichen with the hike and spend time also in Klein Scheindegg. Should I buy the overland pass which gives me unlimited train rides , cable cars for free? Harder Kulm, grindelwald first, schilthorn, lake Brienz are on my list also. If you have overland pass, do you just hop on and off on the train. Thinking of buying Swiss half fare card as well. Help please. Thank you. Cora

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Cora! You will only need about 3 hours to explore Mannlichen, do the panoramic walk, and see Kleine Scheidegg - very doable in just half a day! Be sure to check out our 1-Week Guide to the Jungfrau Region for tips on what to see, and we also have a free train pass checklist to help you pick the best pass for your trip. www.aplinsithealps.com/1-week-guide-to-the-jungfrau-region aplinsinthealps.com/ultimate-swiss-train-pass-guide-2023/

[@corazongamboa6540]

Thank you for the response. I have a question about train commute. For example if I go to Interlauken from Lauterbrunnen, can I buy the train ticket the day before or on the day of the travel. And if I have a connection ( transfer) to my destination, do I have to purchase another ticket. Also , I notice that train transfers are very short, like 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Are these minutes doable and how far are the train tracks. I’m concerned because my husband can’t walk very fast. If I missed my connecting train, what should I do. Need I advice. Thank you. Cora

Just last month, my wife, daughter and I took this adventure after watching this video and it was well worth it. The views from the path up to the royal crown were incredible! Also, it was funny when we actually ran into both of you in the Lauterbrunnen train station! While my wife and daughter decided to take the gondola down to Grindelwald, I ventured onto the Panorama-weg trail toward Kleine Scheidegg. Between the start of the tail at the gondola to the train station at KS, it drops only around 120 m in elevation so the trail is an easy venture for just about everyone, I even encounter folks pushing baby strollers. And the view of the "big three" near the end of the trail is truly breathtaking. This is a must see if you visit this region!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Can we go to Mannlichen from First?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Of course! You can ride the cable car down from Männlichen to Grindelwald Terminal, then take the train to Grindelwald. From there, it's a short bus ride or a 10-minute walk to reach the First cable car station!

Have dinner on the gondola. day 3- morning-manna lichen, have lunch in Wengen afternoon - go to Lauterbrunnen, glacial waterfall day 4- morning - go for paragliding in the areas and leave. i plan to get the half fare card and the Oberlan dpass and Eurail (i will be moving from the 5th to germany and subsequently ,spain. do you think i can be able to do all these and what futher adviced can you give . i love how detail your videos are tho.

[@AdamJakowenko]

We rode that cable car just a couple days ago but it was confusing how to do the "Royal ride", as there was no option to purchase the $5 add on when we bought them online and we saw no way to buy them when we arrived. There was no person working we could ask before the car left either. Would be helpful if you included how you can buy the Royal ride add-on as we couldn't figure it out. Otherwise the Royal walk was awesome, albeit pretty difficult uphill even for us fit folks, but the views were totally worth it. We brought our small drone and got some of the best shots of all of our Switzerland trip

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So sorry you were confused! You can actually only purchase the Royal Ride tickets from the Wengen-Männlichen cable car station. There should have been someone there at the window to help you. At least you still got to enjoy the views from the Männlichen summit 🤩🤩
