A country known as a railway paradise⁠
An excursion into the fantastic glacier world⁠
To places where heaven meets earth ...⁠
An unforgettable experience🙏⁠

5. The waterfall of Lauterbrunnen

Nestled in a valley with snow-capped mountains with 72 surrounding waterfalls that include the famous Staubbach and Trümmelbach Falls is the beautiful village of Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland.

6. Hardergrat Ridge Trail above Interlaken

Closer to the clouds. Brienzer Rothorn is a 23.3 kilometer moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Interlaken, Bern, Switzerland that features a lake and is rated as difficult.

7. The turquoise colors of lake Brienz

This lake is beautiful, such a brilliant blue (due the glacier mineral run off I believe), perfect for a paddle steamer cruise on to see the little villages on the shore and to get a glimpse of Giessbach falls.

8. The cute pedestrian village of Mürren

Drink a hot cup of tea, snuggle into your thickest sweater and simply let the time pass. Doesn't this sound like a good plan? Mürren is a tiny car-free mountain resort, accessible by cable car and placed high up in the mountains.

9. The crystal clear water of Blausee

Blausee is the fascinating gem of Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland, and one of the most famous lakes of Switzerland. It is distinctly known for its intense blue waters.

10. First in Grindelwald

Take the lift from Grindelwald up to First. A short walk brings you to the suspended walkway with amazing views of the valley below and the Eiger dominating the valley. A fun little walk for those who are not afraid of heights with great views of the mountains.
