Is hiking safe on the Mountains?? İs there any wild animal or dog attack? 😢 next week i'm going to Zurich and i want to experience these nature miracle. What's your advice??

[@heartofhome]

We met Jana and Brett on the train from Grütschalp to Mürren and they were so gracious to us! We had arrived in Switzerland without our luggage and they had already guided us as to where to purchase some clothing, so it was fun to actually find ourselves on the same gondola with them. They attempted to get us to take that same picture on the stump in Mürren, but due to a shoulder surgery we couldn’t make it happen 😆 We had previously spent a few weeks studying their videos and found them so full of information, which was so valuable for a trip we thought up and planned within 5 weeks. I saw that someone commented that they have too much talking in their videos, but please keep in mind that their videos are not for ASMR purposes, but instead they are here to give us all the information we need as travelers to have in person aesthetically pleasing experiences. Thank you, Jana and Brett! We literally couldn’t have planned our trip without your guidance. Love from Michigan.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

You guys are SO kind and encouraging! We loved getting to spend some time with you and hear your vision for your trip! Thank you for leaving such an encouraging comment for other people to read as well. We genuinely want to help people like you travel Switzerland with confidence! We know how much a trip to the Swiss alps changed our lives, and we hope maybe it will for other people as well! 🥰 Can’t wait to see you both again some day!!!

We love your videos. We talked to you at the breakfast buffet at Piz Gloria. We stayed 7 nights in Gimmewald at the Pension Gimmelwald and loved it. The Mountain Hostel next door to the Pension Gimmelwald had awesome pizza. Your videos provided invaluable guidance and inspired us on what we needed to see. We will be returning for a much longer stay! We did paraglide from Murren! Love the cable cars and trains.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Dora, we remember meeting you during the James Bond Brunch! We've heard fantastic things about Pension Gimmelwald, but not about the pizza (I'm making a note that we need to try it!).

Thank you for all the amazing content. Really helped us plan our trip from the US to Interlakken. Steininger Bakery for bfast, and lunch to go, we headed up to Murren and then Gimmelwald. Found a chair a little lower than the one in the video to sit and have lunch. We just took the main walk over from Murren, as we didn't have enough time to do the North Face Trail. You are right the views are spectactular! After Schwarz Monch beer, we actually hiked down from Gimmelwald to Stechelberg, waterfall viewing down the trail. Had a sweet treat then headed on the bus to Lauterbrunnen. Thank you for all you do and keep up the great content. Following more of your ideas for our other days.

Murren was my favorite on my recent Swiss trip. Much quieter than Wengen, not that Wengen is loud but Murren is more private. We got a great AirBnB with awesome view and if I had a choice, I would go to Switzerland and just spend a week in Murren relaxing. James Bond bathroom was just awesome, those who have been there knows what I am talking about.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Murren is so charming and feels much more secluded, like you mentioned. We agree that it would be easy to relax there for a whole week! And yes, those bathrooms are one-of-a-kind ;)

[@vovolokno4547]

Hi! This video is great, thanks! And when exactly were you in Murren? Is it September?

[@MrGreatplum]

Some really great tips, thank you. I really want to do the thrill walk at Birg! (I might be the only one in my family 😜) Great inspiration with the walks as well

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Glad you enjoyed it! (and yes, do the thrill walk even if you're the only one!!)

Hi and thank you! We are definitely considering doing more itinerary videos. Be sure to check out our Swiss Food Tour video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4LNgXZpltiap68) where we share a few fun, local food spots in Lauterbrunnen!

[@samshukporkwong6698]

We followed your guide to Giessbach waterfalls this June. Super fun day trip. Now we can’t wait to do Sprutz waterfalls and visit Murren next year. Don’t think we can do it in one day but sure will do a weekend trip. Do you have any recommendations of hotels/airbnb in that area. Thank you so much for the Alps informative and fun videos. Great job both!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Aww we're so glad that you enjoyed Giessbach! You'll probably love Sprutz as well :) We do have recommendations for places to stay in Mürren - it's included in our brand new guide! You can find it here: aplinsinthealps.com/resources/1-day-guide-to-murren--gimmelwald-switzerland/

[@AmicusPlanners]

Is the Spurtz waterfall PART of the Northface Trail? Or is it a detour off of the Northface Trail? I'd prefer to skip the Spurtz waterfall, but want to make sure I understand how to get to Gimmelwald if we skip it... Do we turn around and go back the direction we came to get to Murren, and then take a cable car to Murren? Thank you!!!

[@brandnewname5185]

I would love a 2-day itinerary version! I feel like a lot of other first-time Switzerland visitors would benefit too since we need two days to see everything! We're planning on staying in Interlaken and doing the Lauterbrunnen side one day and the Grindelwald side the other day, with hikes and eats like your video shows! Do you think that's a good way to split the two days?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thank you for taking the time to share your helpful thoughts with us! We really consider feedback and suggestions from our audience to better inform our future content. I think that is a great way to split your two days!

[@felipeperin5534]

Love the video!! It covers a lot of wonderful spots!! Great help for my itinerary! Thanks a lot!!! Just wondering.. I’m going there end of October, do you think it will be possible to have some clear views from the cliffs or probably it will be foggy already in that time? Thanks again!!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thanks Felipe! You’re so kind! We haven’t been here in October, but we’ve heard from some locals that the clear autumn days are some of the best ones for hiking, so I think you should be alright! We always recommend that people plan at least a few days here so you have a greater chance of clear skies at least once during your trip!

[@vinnie3658]

I wish you could post this a week earlier but I missed it...as I spent last week in Switzerland and murren was the best place

Hey Jana and Brett, love your videos! Just a quick question - ive understood that the funicular from Mürren to Allmendhubel is under maintenance from April - June 2023. As such, would you happen to know if there is an alternative route get to the North Face trail without using the funicular? I've tried to search but almost all used the funicular to ascend / descend when hiking the North Face trial. Thanks so much

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Great question! Since the Northface trail (the way we describe it) ends in Mürren, it would be best to hike the trail in reverse. Head uphill from the Schilthornbahn station in Mürren along the Northface trail, ending the trail at Allmendhubel. From there, you'll find a couple steep trails that go downhill back to Mürren. Or if you're up for a longer hike from there, you can hike the Mountain View Trail from Allmendhubel to Grütschalp, and take the train back to Mürren. Hope this helps!

[@naimadelafeunte9165]

hi guys! love your videos, they have been so helpful! just wondering, is there a way to get to the bench of the minute 8 by just walking from Murren to Gimmewald? We want to take funicular up to Allmendhubel and the walk down to Murren and if we have time go down to Gimmewald

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Yep, you can! But it's kinda hard to describe the most direct way. Basically, it's right along the road/hiking path right above the village, just before you would enter the forest (or exit the forest coming from Sprutz Waterfall).

[@xinia711]

Wohoo🎉 thanks! I will try my best to find it

[@yaksarahny]

Hello there thanks for the amazing videos. We are heading to grindelwald next week and it looks like the weather isn’t going to be so cooperative 😂 any suggestion ?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Sarah! We’re so glad to help! First tip is to use Meteo Swiss for weather. We’ve found that it’s the most accurate. Sometimes I laugh when my phone weather app says it’s raining all week…when I’m literally sitting on our deck in the sun! And if the weather isn’t great, we recommend visiting Giessbach Falls and then walking from Giessbach to Iseltwald (even if it’s drizzling). And of course cities and villages like Interlaken and Grindelwald are good options for bad weather days too. Save your hikes and views for clear days. We hope that helps!

[@mountainlover830]

Sarah, Trummelbach Falls in the middle of the Lauterbrunnen Valley or the Aareschlut (Aare River Gorge) in the neighboring valley by Meiringen are good places for light to moderate rain. Trummelbach are waterfalls inside a mountain, so you're protected from the rain, but you're going to get wet from the falls so a raincoat is advised either way. The Aare River gorge is protected 85-90% of the walk. I've never been here, but there are the St.Beatus caves off of Lake Thun. Thun also has some pretty neat castles to explore. There's one in the center of town, displays have English translations if I remember correctly, and the Schloss (castle) Oberhofen is interesting as well. If things are really rainy you can take a day trip to Luzern, Bern, or the Kambly Cookie factory store in Trubschachen (free samples, interactive displays, and cookies in bulk--savory and sweet). All reachable by train (except St. Beatus ond Schloss Oberhofen---you'll need to take the bus) and then you don't have to worry about rainy roads. Do download the App MeteoSwiss. It's the most accurate and will show you graphs of when and how much of the predicted rain will occur. Safe travels--we're travelling there the week after you!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Such great tips Laura, thanks for sharing! We've never been to the Kambly factory-do you think it's enjoyable for adults even without kids, or is it more of a family experience?

[@yaksarahny]

[@mountainlover830]

@@AplinsintheAlps My take is it's good for all ages, especially if you like free samples of every cookie and cracker they make. Must be 50 or more varieties. My visits were all pre-Covid (and both visits were all adult), so I don't know how they're handling the samples now. I found the displays to be interesting.

Jana may i know what hiking shoes you used when hiking Switzerland? Looks not too bulky for carry on . Planning to hike Jungfrau region on October

[@AplinsintheAlps]

I have these Solomon trail running shoes: www.amazon.com/dp/B081KGMJ5Q?tag=thegroshe06-20,aps,168&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=thegroshe06-20&linkId=78020e4466c46b1c58502a0729b1a4d7&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl They are fantastic for the trails because they aren’t as bulky as a hiking boot but just as sturdy. They keep my feet cool when it’s hot but are surprisingly warm when it’s cold. And I’ve worn them in rain and through mud and in a field of cow poo and honestly love them! (However they tire my feet if I wear them on paved roads so I only wear them on trails, and would recommend separate shoes for the cities/towns). Hope that helps for your trip in October! 😊

Another great video!! And the day guide is such an awsome idea! Mürren isn’t in our plans for when we visit, but it looks a really beautiful area with lots to see and do. Are you planning to continue making purchasable itineraries for other days out in this region?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Jenny! First of all, we hope you have a fantastic trip🇨🇭 And yep, our hope is to continue making KZbin videos and guides to help people travel Switzerland with confidence, and to minimize their planning time and budget! Do you have a suggestion for where our next guide should focus?

[@jennymeynen]

@@AplinsintheAlps Oooo a suggestion 🤔 Well we’ve planned do to your DIY farm fridges food tour, so a guide that could extend to a full day of things to do in in the Lauterban area would be really useful 😊

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Sounds great! We're seeing how things go with this guide, and then we'll consider what else to create! FYI Mürren and Gimmelwald are right above Lauterbrunnen so it would be very easy to combine them with a visit to Lauterbrunnen. And for what it's worth, if we could only spend one day in the entire area, we'd go there! :)

[@jennymeynen]

@@AplinsintheAlps First, so sorry with my extreme typo of Lauterbrunnen 🫣 that’s great to know those places are easily connected! We will look into this! 😁 Thanks so much for ur advice and content 🙏🏻

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Don't worry about typos! It's another language and that always makes things more difficult :)

My dream being there...dont know when come true

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Maybe one day it will!

Hi! Just got the guide. I just want to ask for sure ( staying in murren in couple of weeks)my question is… If I book only a ticket for cable car from murren to shilthron… and back ….I will be allowed the entry to the top? I’ve been seeing “ schilthorn round trips” on get your guide apps and I’m confused now what do do… Please help

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi there, and thanks so much for buying our guide! You're correct...your ticket for the Schilthorn is also your entrance for the visit there as well. No need to buy anything else! (unless you're wanting to eat in the restaurants as course) This is also the case for the Birg Thrill Walk-it's free with your ticket. Hope this helps!

[@danielpozo9224]

How much are the train cart tickets from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald to Murren to the Schilthorn. Im visiting in a week and it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me what the cost would be to use the train carts.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Daniel! We're not quite sure what you mean by the train carts? We do have prices in this video for the cable car if that's what you're talking about!

[@tobindunn223]

Do we need hiking boots are will good tennis shoes work?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Tobin! For the hikes we show in this video, at least a good pair of trail running or hiking shoes is best. No need to have big hiking boots, but there are quite a bit of rocks and roots on the trails around Mürren, and they'll tear up your tennis shoes :)

[@lizziedavies5898]

Hey, would you recommend staying in one place in the Alps or separating the trip into a couple different places?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Oooh, great question! How long will you be there, and do you specifically mean the Jungfrau Region?

[@lizziedavies5898]

@@AplinsintheAlps thanks for your reply! will be there for a week, and yes Jungfrau Region :)

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Staying in one place for a week gives you the chance to get a potential discount if you book on airbnb, allows you to save money buying groceries and cooking at "home," and keeps you from wasting time checking in and checking out. We tend to prefer this, but we also stay longer. Interlaken or Wilderswil would make a great home base for a week. But it can also be fun to split your time between 2 places that are pretty different. Mürren, Grindelwald, and Interlaken/Wilderswil would each give you a very different experience! We wouldn't stay in more than 2 places for just a week, for sure.

[@SabaFaizanMUA]

We are very bad in gettung up early. Especially with kids. They take ages to do breakfast and get ready. You reached at 8am at the top, is it because its less busy in the morning?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

We understand that not everyone is a morning person! Yes, we find that places are usually less crowded in the morning, so we prefer to take the first lifts to the top.

[@SabaFaizanMUA]

@@AplinsintheAlps oh bless thank u u always reply. I would love to know about booking hotel in Grindelwald? I did try to search online but i dnt knw y i dnt get the answer. When is cheap to book? How many months in advance i can book? Which is reasonable and good star hotel in Grindelwald? We used Eiger lodge we didn't like it. If you can help for 2023.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

We almost always book our lodging through airbnb, so we don't have much advice on the hotels unfortunately! It seems you should be able to book pretty far in advance though (maybe even up to a year?). Hope you find a good one!

[@Scrappy1451]

What did you mean by clearer skies in the morning?? I have a few tours I booked in the afternoom for this june because I figured mid day would have the highest chance of clearer skies

[@AplinsintheAlps]

The skies are usually clearest in the morning in the mountains, and you have a greater chance of clouds rolling in through the afternoon (and short evening rain showers are not unusual in the summer!). But the clouds can still be high in the afternoon!

[@Scrappy1451]

@@AplinsintheAlps ah I see, thank you for that tip!

[@bliavang5775]

How much does it cost to get up there without pass?

[@davidkelly9932]

Oh no how disappointing :( the cable car is shutting down for maintenance in Spring: 22.04. - 26.04.2024. My family will be there during this time. I'm guessing rail can take us most places except Birg? Any alternative mode of transportation? TIA

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Ugh, what a bummer! You can get up to Mürren using the cable car and train from Lauterbrunnen and Grütschalp. But unfortunately no transportation will be running up to Birg or the Schilthorn during this time.

[@tyyg9469]

Is the COOP promounced "Cope" or "Co-Op"?🤔😇

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Great question! Here it's pronounced "cope" :)

Hi can you please tell me if a buy a swiss half price card will I get any discount on swiss travel pass purchases time Also earlier on your travel pass video you have mentioned that you created a spreadsheet of each are travel cost Can you please share the same

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi there! Unfortunately the Swiss Half Fare Card doesn't get you any discounts on the Swiss Travel Pass, so you'll want to choose one or the other. The spreadsheet we created is just for our research purposes, but we did make a free checklist you can download if you're interested: aplinsinthealps.com/the-ultimate-swiss-rail-pass-guide/ Hope this helps!

If i have a travel pass then how much is the fare from Murren to Shilthorn ?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi there! The cost depends on your travel pass. If you have the Berner Oberland or Swiss Travel Pass, it'll cost 42.80 CHF to ride roundtrip between Mürren and the Schilthorn.

[@Momentum_Option_Buyer]

Is Murren open in the between Mar 30 - Apr 6th

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Sure is!

How much is the gondola ride between Murren and Gimmelwald?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

About 3 CHF last time we checked! You can always look up ticket costs on the SBB mobile app as well.

[@brittanyalvarez8401]

Is the playground in this video in Gimmelwald?

[@MrGreatplum]

That certainly is - the cable car station is very distinctive!

[@insectatravel3657]

Hello! I want to ask you, Jungfrau Travel Pass it is only valid until Murren? To Piz Gloria is paid separately? Thank you?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

You're correct, but only the Mürren BLM from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp to Mürren is fully covered. You'll only get a discount on the entire Schilthorn cable car.

Very nice video, but please slow down the presentation, it's not a race. Will be there in 7 weeks!
