Switzerland: Interlaken + Bern + Alps Snow Mountain Highlights 🇨🇭

🧳 Pre-Trip Notes​ ▪️ Transport: Train from Interlaken to Bern takes only 1 hour 🚂​ ▪️ Money: Swiss Francs (CHF) are a must! Euros work in most places in Bern, but small shops in Interlaken only accept CHF. ATM withdrawal fees are high—better exchange CHF in China in advance 💰​ ▪️ Accommodation: Stay near Hoheweg Square in Interlaken—you’ll be just steps from the Eiger (Maid of the Mountains) ⛰️​ Best Time to Visit​ December to February: Perfect for skiers hitting the Alps slopes ⛷️​ Day 1: Interlaken | Alps Snow Mountain "Wow Moment"​ ▫️ 8:30 AM: Eiger (Alps) Summit Adventure​ The train cuts through meadows, and riding the cogwheel train up the mountain is so cool! The meadows are covered in wildflowers, and you might even meet a cowherd who’ll smile and say “hallo” 🐄! A round-trip ticket to the Eiger costs over €230. At 3,454 meters above sea level (“Europe’s Top”), the area is covered in glaciers—stand on the observation deck and watch the snow-capped mountains spread out like a sea of peaks 🏔️​ ▫️ 12:30 PM: Big Chicken Leg at the Mountain Top Restaurant​ The Eiger Glacier Restaurant is a must-try! The view outside the window is of thousand-year-old glaciers ❄️. Budget travelers: Bring your own sandwich and have a picnic on the observation deck for a more immersive experience 🥪​ ▫️ 3:30 PM: Lazy Boat Ride on Lake Brienz​ The lake is so blue it looks filtered! Small wooden houses are hidden in the forests on both banks, and the wooden chairs by the lake are perfect for photos 📸​ Day 2: Interlaken → Bern​ ▫️ 9:00 AM: Train to Bern​ It only takes an hour! Don’t sleep when the train passes through the forest— the wooden houses with snow-capped mountains outside the window look like illustrations torn from a fairy tale 📖​ ▫️ 12:00 PM: Traditional Cheese Fondue Feast​ The classic cheese fondue bubbles and oozes—dip bread cubes in it for a salty, stretchy treat. Pair it with local white wine to cut through the richness 🍷​ ▫️ 3:00 PM: Old Town “Treasure Hunt” Walk​ ▪️ Zytglogge (Clock Tower): At every full hour, little bear figures come out to ring bells and “dance”—arrive 5 minutes early to get a good spot 🐻⏰​ ▪️ Bundeshaus (Federal Palace): Free to visit! The dome hall is magnificent, and you might even see MPs working (keep your voice down!) 🏛️​ ▪️ Bärengraben (Bear Pit): Watch brown bears bathe and climb trees—walking along the riverside path to get there is super relaxing 💧​ ▫️ 6:00 PM: Grindelwald Waterfall Visit​ Take a 40-minute train to Grindelwald—the Mürren Waterfall crashing down the cliff is breathtaking! Walk along the waterfall trail for 10 minutes to reach a “water curtain cave”—the mist on your face is refreshing (bring an umbrella!) 🌊​ Grab an ice cream in Grindelwald, sit by the road and watch skiers race down the slopes. The sunset paints the mountain peaks gold 🌇—my last memory of Switzerland is the gentle warmth of the Alps.​ 📸 Photo Spots​ ▪️ Interlaken: Hoheweg Square for full views of the Eiger (morning light is perfect for photos)​ ▪️ Transport Gems: Window seats on the cogwheel train for forest/snow photos; boat deck on Lake Brienz for shoreline views​ 💣 Travel Tips to Avoid Mistakes​ ❌ Don’t buy full-price Eiger tickets! Book online in advance to save €20—Swiss Travel Pass holders get an even better discount​ ✅ Bring a windproof jacket! The Alps can have strong winds that make you shiver even in cold weather 🧥​ #SwissTravel #InterlakenGuide #BernOldTown #AlpsHiking #EuropeFreeTravel​
