Hello. Why are new bookings not accepted on the above link? Thank you

[@crochetlovemelbourne]

Thank you for the great day trips ideas, I'm headed to Geneva soon on my way back to Zurich to fly out and these day trip ideas were exactly what I needed!

[@knowledgeb2u]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@Petra.Disney]

Excellent advice! Used your advice in Zurich and Colmar this past December and was excellent! Loved it so much we going to Chamonix in 2025 and plan some of these day trips as well

[@rkw2917]

Hermance is also a very relaxed day trip especially with children Nice beach, excellent restaurant, and lovely people

[@Petra.Disney]

Perhaps do you have a video of Lyon?

[@bigfish4483]

Great timing, I will be there in Geneva in 2 months!

[@vaneandalaft5504]

Thanks for all the tips ! Is the Leman Pass good for all these rides ? And also how pet friendly are the boats ?

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

Would love to see a video of day trips from Basel to include places like Freiburg and/or Colmar if you ever have been there.

[@Celestialkarma]

Great information Thanks God Bless

[@Petra.Disney]

Just booked again for this December, mostly skiing but got 2 days in Geneva. Choices between Montreaux, Annecy, and Gruyère. This past Christmas we were in Zurich and did a day trip to Colmar. Annecy too similar?

[@ElrosTar-Minyatur]

Love the new video! ❤

[@wendyxcmeng]

Is it best to see lavaux vineyard fields from Lausanne or Montreaux?😊 You mentioned a metro from Lausanne? And a small express train from montreaux?

[@tompurvis1261]

Thank you. We are using Montreux as a hub later in the week. We will have a car. I am still deciding what to do on the Saturday and Sunday. It may be weather dependent.

Hi guys, love your videos. I'm traveling to Geneva from Canada in early May. Looking to visit Domodossola from Geneva for the day. I'm so confused by the train schedules. Do you have a video or resource to help me book this? Thanks. 😊

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Hi! I would download the SBB app. There are a few direct trains (direction Milan) from Geneve Cornavin (main station) to Domodossola. This will be a 2 hr 40 minute ride in each direction though

[@DaLinA-we2gm]

Hi Alexis and Louis! I have been fascinated with Switzerland rver since I watched a video about it a little over a year ago. I just discovered your page. 🙂

[@AfterMyDayJob]

Thank you very much.

[@Petra.Disney]

Also any thoughts on Courmayeur?

[@Aih777]

so many amazing places to visit in Switzerland, i am so confused. I have 10 days i want to visit all the cute villages in this video :)

[@bambarcelona]

Any recommendations for a traveling family WITH KIDS? thanks! :)

[@grzegorzklimczak9324]

Fajny Film 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sizzlingjoeyboy]

Coming next month November 7 in Geneva, but was surprised that Augille du midi and Grindelwald is closed due to maintenance work. Any suggestions where we can visit a mountain park that isn't closed in november?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

November is a common time for track maintenance since this us the low season, but The Gornergrat and Matterhorn glacier paradise in zermatt are open all year. zermatt is generally a good destination in off season for this reason

[@sizzlingjoeyboy]

@@TheTravelingSwiss thanks! will look into this! Jungfraujoch is our last option :)

[@chanellec5386]

Hi! I plan to pre-purchase a train ticket from Geneva to Germany. What do you think of the site Rail Europe?

[@jasonclark2237]

If I get a Swizz Schengen Visa, will I be able to visit Chamonix as this is not in Switzerland? I am from South Africa

[@95acw88]

Hey loved the vid.. As a Brit, visiting Geneva with my wife on 21st December, would you recommend booking with a tour company to visit Chamonix, do the cable cars up the mountain etc… Or would you recommend getting the bus ourselves and ‘free styling’ it? The tour company seems to have some terrible reviews and seems SUPER expensive. We are also cautious about booking it and the weather cancelling the cable cars etc. I’m also wondering about sledging as opposed to skiing? If there’s anything or anywhere else you’d recommend for a December visit, please do tell! Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

I would just book the bus tranfers in advance. Get your guide has a lot of options which are just bus transfer + ticket packages which are a great option. I don't think a full tour would be needed, Chamonix is quite easy to navigate in my opinion!

[@musika2682]

can I go to the places in geneva with a saver day pass?

[@openbabel]

Severely blind disabled adults and children registered with the government get automatically 53% discount on all fares and offers. This legally protected group Always get the highest discount on all train networks. Could you outline the situation on disability discounts and careers in Switzerland. Please also comment if the BLE EU identity card is required on Swiss trains, cable cars, vehicular railways, and buses ?

[@MarieClaireMonterey]

Thanks for the tips. I just wish Alexis would not talk that fast
