we just returned after staying at the Edelweiss, where Tomas greeted us with the warmest reception we ever had in our travelling years. Wengen was a perfect location to post camp for a few days in order to travel to other beautiful locations nearby with ease via train. A small quiet town with stunning beauty just like everywhere else in Switzerland. Highly recommend the entire country

Thank you so much for featuring gorgeous Wengen in its own video! We were there in July and we left our hearts at the Hotel Alpenrose 🇨🇭 Wengen is the perfect location for unmatched beauty, views, and a perfect launching site for the entire Jungfrau region. The Berner Oberland pass is a necessity for this area and we enjoyed the freedom of not even having to think before going anywhere our hearts desired. We can hardly wait to return with our entire family (hopefully next year). Thank you for all of your highly informative videos that we binge-watched to prepare for our perfect trip to Switzerland to celebrate our 25th anniversary!

Do you recommend staying in Wengen over Murren or Lauterbrunnen? Trying to decide which to call home base and would love to hear your thoughts on the pros/cons of Wengen!
@heartofhome Жыл бұрын
@@Trevor_H I’m so glad you asked! We do recommend having Wengen as a home base for several reasons. The first is how amazingly beautiful the views are from anywhere you are in town! You can look down to Lauterbrunnen and across to Murren-so why not stay where you can enjoy all three? The second reason that we prefer Wengen is the small-town feel (although, you could argue that Murren also has this benefit). For us, Wengen offered the perfect balance of feeling quaint while still offering many shops, restaurants, and activities, which we felt Murren was lacking. Thirdly, Wengen is a great location for jumping off to both of the other towns you mentioned, as well as up to Mannlichen (which leads to Grindelwald, Eiger, and Jungfraujoch). It felt like the perfect balance for us to come “home” to our cozy hotel after a day out up and down, and maybe up again, any mountain in the area! Lastly, we were there with just the two of us, but we constantly dreamed of having our kiddos with us, because the town is set up so beautifully with children in mind. Additionally, Mannlichen is just an 8 minute gondola ride up the mountain to the most fun playground with a giant cow that you can climb on-we can hardly wait to return with our children! I hope this helps :) (also, you didn’t ask this, but we wouldn’t consider any of this without purchasing the Swiss Half-Fare card and the Berner Oberland Pass-it saved a TON of money and allowed us complete flexibility in the entire region).

@russracing14 ай бұрын
@@accless510 Grindelwald is more of a tourist town with lots of shops, restaurants and hotels. There are many convenient stores & markets to suit all of your needs. It does lack the charm of a smaller place like Wengen. However, we stayed at Hotel Gletschergarten just outside of the town, yet just an easy 15-20 walk from the train station. They picked up/dropped off us at the train station. Super convenient. Wengen is perched on a cliff just above Lauterbrunnen Valley. Like Grindelwald, it has excellent views of mountains & countryside. Not as many conveniences, but definitely more charm than Grindelwald. Good news...no car noises. Bad news...you have to carry your bags from train station to your hotel. Speaking of hotels, prices may be higher there. We are planning a return to the area and will probably stay in Grindelwald.

5:27 It took me a few _years_ to get that large (0.5 l) Rugenbräu glass! For some reason souvenir shops don't sell beer glasses, they are only given to restaurants by beer companies. So my quest was to find a restaurant around Interlaken that would be arm-twistable into selling me one. To no avail! And I decided stealing was out of question. Finally, I got one in 2021 from a restaurant that cannot be named, of course, for security reasons. As of last September the guilty party waiter was still employed 🙂And the Wengen views are unbeatable!
