Sports Camps & Clinics
If you're looking for an unforgettable skiing experience, look no further than Eskimos Sports. This ski school offers personalized lessons that cater to all skill levels, ensuring everyone has a blast while learning. Instructors like Mat and Darsey are known for their patience and expertise, guiding students through essential techniques without ever feeling rushed. Whether it's pushing more confident skiers to refine their skills or gently encouraging nervous beginners to overcome their fears, the instructors at Eskimos Sports create a supportive environment where fun meets learning.
Our kids had private and semi private lessons with Eskimo ski school. They both learnt a lot and had fun, the two things we look for most. Matteo really pushed our daughter, the more experienced and confident of the two, showing her new techniques. Our son, who was more nervous was taken patiently by Asbjörn, he overcame his nerves and really progressed, coming away much more confident and looking forward to skiing again. We felt that they fitted the instructors well to our kids needs and that the instructors gave them both the teaching that they needed.

This was my first time skiing for me and my daughter. Our instructor Asbjorn was very patient and friendly. But above all he gave us confidence, so we improved rapidly and made us even doing a short red piste being completely in control.

Great experience with the booking and ski instruction too. Ash was really considerate but pushed me to realise my potential. I really did learn from Ash and put this into practice while skiing with the family and friends in the afternoon. With best wishes, Yvonne

My son and I had an awesome private ski lesson from Mat. He was super courteous, patience, competent instructor. He let us have our own pace (never pushy) yet taught us all the basic principles and forms as well as important tips such as you never look down or look at your skies when skiing. He made sure we got our forms down correctly and challenged us to improve our forms. He made our time so worthwhile and fun. By the end of the session, we both felt confident and highly satisfied with our day. I highly recommend him for your ski lessons! Thank you so much Mat!

Ski Zenit - Ski School Snowboard

Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
If you're planning a trip to the stunning Alps, make sure to connect with Ski Zenit - Ski School Snowboard for an unforgettable experience on the slopes. This fantastic school offers everything from gear rentals to tailored ski and snowboard lessons, catering to all skill levels. For those seeking a more intense challenge, they even provide year-round training in ski racing on the glacier during summer months. Visitors rave about their experiences at Ski Zenit, highlighting how well-organized and efficient the camps are.
We had two private lessons with Chris. First, Ski Zenit was able to accommodate our selected time slots. That really helps our schedule. Chris was down to earth and personable. He identified our needs and improved our skills with targeted exercises. He made the learning enjoyable and rewarding. I will definitely recommend him as a ski instructor.

I wanted my son to brush up on his skiing this August after his travel baseball season ended in July. He played football last school year but decided to join the high school ski team this winter. Since he hadn't skied very often the last couple seasons I contacted Ski Zenit and asked if they could help him shake off the rust. Since this is a camp for experienced ski racers we opted for a 5 day private lesson on the Saas Fee glacier. Rich was my Ski Zenit contact and he couldn't have been more accomodating. He planned our transportation from Geneva and laid out everything we would need to be prepared and make this excursion a success. My son's ski instructor, Chris, sent us daily videos and kept us informed of his progress. He improved dramatically over the week and we couldn't be happier with his progress. Way to go Ski Zenit!
Andrew M — Google review
Had a great experience taking lessons with Chris! He taught us so much in two days; I felt much more confident after just our first lesson. Chris was able to tailor the lessons very well to everyone’s skill level, and took us to a variety of terrains where we practiced and improved on various techniques. I would 10/10 recommend Chris and Ski Zenit if you want to improve your skiing and have fun doing it!
Anusha A — Google review
Amazing lesson- my first time to take private lessons. Finally after years of trying to learn I feel more confident! My instructor, Max, was fantastic! Patient and great company. He made it look so easy. The staff had excellent communications before we arrived as well. Highly recommended.
Crystal J — Google review
I had an incredible experience with Ski Zenit! After 28 years away from skiing, I decided to book a private lesson, and I was lucky enough to have Chris as my instructor. His teaching approach was clear, patient, and highly effective. In just one session (2.5h), he taught me the essential skills I needed to move forward confidently. Chris made everything easy to understand and apply, and his encouragement was incredibly motivating. I can't recommend Ski Zenit and Chris enough – if you're looking to improve or get back into skiing, this is the place to start!
Grischa M — Google review
I had an amazing experience with Max as my ski instructor! He was incredibly patient and kind throughout the lesson, always encouraging me and making me feel comfortable. Max helped me regain my confidence on the slopes, and thanks to his expert guidance, I managed to conquer an icy red slope without fear. I couldn't have done it without him! Highly recommend Max to anyone looking to improve their skiing skills or just enjoy their time on the slopes. Thank you, Max!

We booked the trainer Ellen for 1 week. We had so much fun and where able to ski on the first day. Ellen is quit and very professional. We had really a great time.

We had a fantastic experience with Zenit. Our instructor Tim was brilliant, super patient, fun and helpful. The children said he’s the best instructor they’ve ever had, and they have both made huge progress. The whole team at Zenit were so and accommodating. I highly recommend this company - 5 stars!

Leukerbad Therme

Spas & Wellness
Spas
Leukerbad Therme is a must-visit destination, boasting the title of the largest natural thermal spa in Europe. With four floors and ten pools to explore, it offers a variety of options for relaxation and rejuvenation. The Sauna-Landscape provides additional opportunities for pampering with steam baths, herbs sauna, and more.
We visited Leukerbad Therme today and absolutely loved it! The hot springs and thermal pools were incredibly relaxing — the perfect combination of warm mineral water, bubbling jacuzzis, and soothing hydro-massage zones. We’ve been to other thermal spas before, but this one truly stands out for its unique atmosphere and natural charm. The mineral water felt rejuvenating, and the entire experience was peaceful and refreshing. We had a wonderful time, felt fully relaxed, and truly enjoyed every moment of our visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in the heart of the Swiss Alps!

Absolutely wonderful place for the family. Lots to do, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. No matter the weather this is a great year round activity. After you have paid you don’t need to worry about anything else, your wrist band is your locker key and how you pay at the bar. On the way out scan your wrist band on the pay machine and pay for your drinks.
Martin E — Google review
Much remains the secret of nature, but what is known makes Leukerbad absolutely extraordinary. It takes an unbelievable 40 years for the seeping mountain water deep in the Alps to be enriched with valuable minerals, warmed to the perfect temperature of up to 51° Celsius, and transformed into thermal water. Only then does it bubble naturally from the earth and flow into the Leukerbad baths. To step into these waters is to experience true Alpine wellness, a gift of nature that has been patiently prepared for decades. The Leukerbad Therme is the largest thermal bath in the entire Alpine region, and it truly deserves its reputation as an Alpine wellness paradise for young and old. With ten relaxing baths, family-friendly slides, and a modern sauna area offering a wide range of wellness and natural healing options, this place is unforgettable. The backdrop of the Alps, combined with the charm of the beautiful town of Leukerbad, makes the experience even more magical. We stayed from 8 in the morning until 8 at night and enjoyed every moment. The pools are soothing, the atmosphere is rejuvenating, and the spa treatments are exceptional. Be sure to request Nicole for your massage or treatment, as her care and expertise make the day even more special. From bathing in the thermal waters to indulging in the wellness services, the hours simply slipped away in pure relaxation and joy. This is not just a place to visit, it is a place to linger. A single day is wonderful, but a few days are ideal in order to fully enjoy both the Therme and the many beautiful hikes that surround Leukerbad. Between the healing waters, the serenity of the spa, and the natural beauty of the Alps, this is truly a destination like no other. If you are searching for an experience that combines wellness, fun, and breathtaking scenery, the Leukerbad Therme is perfect. It is a place to restore body and spirit, to laugh and relax, and to create memories that will last forever.

I have absolutely loved it. There are so many things to do: water slides, outdoor and indoor pool, pool bar, sauna and so on. There are also facilities to people with children. Minuses: - Towel is not included, so bring yours. - We did not find any water fountains.

Worth doing at least once ! I really enjoy the place… you can just swim on top, or slide in the tube with the kids!! Or just relax on the other level, where water is just so great…

I have visited this location during both the winter and late summer seasons, and the views were consistently impressive. The water temperature was notably pleasant. While the buildings exhibit some age, the environment offers a relaxing and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. Furthermore, the pricing is quite reasonable, especially for Swiss standards. The facility also provides a small dining area for guests who wish to bring and consume their own meals.

I liked the landscape and the diversity of options, both indoors and outdoors. I didn't find the installations particularly beautiful, but they were clean, perfectly working, and all seemed fairly priced. We didn't wait, and the employees were very welcoming.

The main indoor and outdoor pools look newly renovated and are in excellent condition. There’s also a children’s pool and a small play area, which makes it great for families. The spa area is in good shape, though a bit small. It includes a steam bath, three or four saunas at different temperatures, and a cold-water pool outside. The spa area is nude-only, and access to it costs an additional 15 CHF. Overall, a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

I’m glad I ignored the handful of negative reviews, which mostly are from a few years ago. These thermal baths are quiet, in a stunning location and with helpful, friendly staff. The view from the outdoor pool is beautiful, the spa “village” is very good and the Aufguss - every two hours - was excellent; the man who led it was a master with the towels! The Roman-Irish bath was well done - sure, it’s not Baden-Baden and the facilities are a bit tired in places, but I’m very pleased I made the trip.
Robin H — Google review
Wanted somewhere to relax after a day waking in the mountains and was going to go to one of the other pools after reading the reviews. The other place was too busy for me so decided to ignore the reviews and try here. So glad we did. The pools are lovely and the outdoor pool has a stunning view It wasn't at all crowded and so relaxing. Yes the changing rooms may need an update and some of the lockers too but they were clean and the staff helpful and friendly

The Spa/ Therme is in a bad condition. In the shower the handle fall off, lights are broken, the floor in the water is dirty. Multiple elevators are broken. One Sauna is out of orders for years and I payed 40.- CHF for 3h. All that said, it's a shame cause the building itself is beautiful and has a great view. And the idea of an underground Sauna village is also beautiful. Because it's so run down you also have not many people around either what is nice at least. Of you owner of this spa reading this review: Please please please renovate this spa! It would be a shame to see it go under.

Baroque castle with guided tours, formal gardens & an exhibition on the history of the Simplon Pass.
Impressive baroque palace in the heart of Brig, built in the 17th century by Kaspar Stockalper. The castle is very well preserved, with beautiful gardens and a peaceful courtyard. Guided tours are interesting, and the views of the town and surrounding mountains make the visit even more special
Marcio R — Google review
The castle's history, from its construction to the present day, is very interesting. The castle garden invites you to linger. I think it must be particularly beautiful in spring and summer.

The castle was closed the day we went to Brig, but the garden itself is worth the visit. It was quiet, a perfect place for a picnic with an astonished view. Toilets are available. Highly recommended

Nice Palace, but without a guide, you can't explore the interior at all. My bf and I ended up sitting out in the gardens feeding sparrows for an hour (which was lovely). Admission is free.
Sonja L — Google review
Late this freezing cold January Sunday afternoon we visited this magnificent 17th century castle in the very center of the old town of Brig, that previously was unknown to us. We were all by ourselves and could enjoy the sun progressively setting on the western facade of the castle with shadows of the naked trees being projected on the pale yellow color of the building. Our only regret was that we had not arranged for a visit to the interior but that will be a good project for a future visit.
Sebastian R — Google review
There was a wedding going on when we arrived, so it felt rude to go in. Can't tell you much about the interior. Spent our time outside in the park. Nice kempt garden with students and kindergartens in all directions, but they were well behaved and not offensive. Lovely views and nice weather. Park at the train station and walk up. Plenty of touristy stuff around the area, so well catered for.
Chris S — Google review
I haven't been inside the castle and only been to the courtyard and outside park of palace. It is an impressive palace and courtyard. If you are in Brig and have 30-45 mins, take a short walk from Bahnof through the old town to the palace. It is totally worth your time. You can have a guided tour for which you will need more time. Hopefully next time, I will be able to do it.

Mountain peak
Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
Nestled in the heart of the Bernese Alps, Schilthorn is a breathtaking destination that offers an unforgettable experience for both adventure seekers and movie buffs alike. Standing tall at 2,970 meters, this iconic mountain features the renowned revolving restaurant Piz Gloria, which gained fame as Blofeld's lair in the classic James Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service.' Visitors can reach this stunning summit via cable cars or by hiking through picturesque trails.
Awesome summit. Good services and safe reliable transportation. Highly worth the money for a full day trip. Have a coffee or a drink at the summit but skip the over priced Buffet. Dine at the bottom of the cable cars before you board the train to the last cable car down to valley
Gerard V — Google review
Visiting Schilthorn Piz Gloria was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip. The cable car ride itself was an incredible experience, smooth, comfortable, and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Swiss Alps. As we ascended, the scenery just kept getting more and more spectacular. At the top, the weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even more magical. The 360° views from Piz Gloria are truly stunning with snow-capped peaks, valleys, and endless mountain ranges that leave you speechless. The Bond-themed touches add a fun and unique twist to the visit, but the natural beauty alone is worth every penny. It’s not just a sightseeing trip, it’s an unforgettable adventure. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the overall experience, I can confidently say this was worth every moment and every cent. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland!
William S — Google review
Somewhat pricey to take the gondola up to the top, but it's well worth it for the views. There is a bunch of James Bond history and plaquards. But the views alone are breathtaking. You should fefinitely wait for a clear day, othe you'll just be looking at the fog.

Was the filming location of a 007 movie. Granted it is not as high as Jungrafraujoch, but the views are equally fantastic. Highly recommended to make a trip here. There is a rotating restaurant at the tower area also as well that serves very decent buffet lunch.
SL W — Google review
Great experience. The cable car on the first stretch is supposedly the steepest in the world. Remembered to include the 9 Euro cheese / cold cut option, which is served at the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant. It comes with a drink and there was plenty of food to fill us up. And it tasted good, too. So pretty much a no-brainer. The view from the top was great. Unfortunately clouds descended while we were there and it even started to hail. Which kind of added to the whole experience. Some cool James Bond stuff - check out the bathroom mirrors! Unfortunately quite a lot of construction going on, which detracted from the whole experience. Will still give it 5 stars, but probably more like 4.5 due to construction, high cost and a very unpleasant guy in the ticket booth. Everything else was perfect and definitely an experience. Now back in the US and planning on watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service tonight 😊
Mike O — Google review
My less-than-ideal rating was solely due to the unfortunate timing of my visit. Otherwise, I would have missed the opportunity to go altogether. It was a heavily overcast day, because of that, I skipped exploring Birg and went straight up to Schilthorn instead. On top of the poor weather, Schilthorn was still under construction. After a quick browse through the gift shop, a short walk around the outdoor deck, and a light snack at the restaurant, it was already time to head back down. I’d have to return someday to truly experience the full beauty of this attraction. Hopefully on a clear day and once the construction is finally complete.
Cat H — Google review
The views are priceless and it's definitely worth it to go! However, be warned that getting around through the construction is extremely difficult. It look 20 minutes to figure out how to go down to the Walk of Fame and the View Lounges. That, for me, was the best part. It's away from the hordes of people fighting to get the best selfie and closer to nature. You can see forever! The best time to go is usually between 15:00-18:00 in the summer (weather permitting) because the clouds tend to lift around that time.

Trümmelbach

Mentioned on 
+7 other lists 
Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Trümmelbach is a stunning natural attraction in Switzerland, featuring ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside a mountain. The cascades are a spectacular sight, with up to 20,000 liters of water per second rushing through ravines and potholes shaped by the swirling waters. Accessible by a tunnel-funicular built in 1913, visitors can experience the power and noise of the falls from inside the mountain.
This is awesome! You get to see the waterfall from 10 different viewing spots. Plus the views of the valley are amazing! My recommendation: Take the lift up as far as it goes, then walk the rest of the way to the very top (lift doesn't go that far). Then walk down to catch the viewing spots you missed during the lift. The walk is nowhere as steep or rocky as Staubbachfall. I enjoyed Trummelbach so much more. It's a wonderful experience! P.S. Free parking and a cute little cafe right outside (we didn't try it, but it was popular).
Krystle — Google review
Maybe the one thing in Switzerland that doesn’t feel overpriced. Awesome experience. The roaring of the waterfalls in the caves was potentially a cooler experience than the actual waterfalls themselves. Plenty of parking Pro tip: take elevator to the 6-10 waterfalls and then make your way down from 6-1. Was an hour and a half experience for us.
Doniel E — Google review
Spectacular falls which are well set up with all the different viewpoints. I took the lift up to viewpoint 6 then walked the stairs to the top, which isn't difficult but you definitely need good grippy shoes. I didn't get too wet, only a few drips here and there but you will need a jacket as it is very cold. There is a little souvenir shop located along the path as well as the cafe with clean toilets. I stopped for coffee and a muffin, both were delicious 😋
Tanya H — Google review
An unforgettable experience! Trümmelbach Falls is a truly unique natural wonder — 10 glacier waterfalls hidden inside a mountain, carrying meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. You ride a lift up through the rock and walk through tunnels, stairs, and bridges carved into the cliff. It’s moderately physical (lots of steps!), but totally worth it. The sound and power of the waterfalls — up to 20,000 liters per second — is breathtaking. Well organized, very safe, and perfect for a 1-hour visit. Highly recommend wearing good non-slip shoes. Tickets were CHF 14 for adults (2024) and free parking is just a 2-minute walk from the entrance.
Pavel ( — Google review
Trümmelbach Falls, in Lauterbrunnen Valley lets you walk inside a mountain, with roaring waterfalls echoing through rock tunnels. The short hike includes stairs up and down, so wear sturdy shoes. There is optional lift inside the mountain. Visit early to avoid crowds and bring a waterproof jacket—the spray is strong. Tickets can be bought on site. The dramatic sound and close-up views make it a rare natural wonder worth seeing. Photography is allowed but watch your gear around water.
Noel M — Google review
Very cool experience! The admission is 15CHF per adult and 7CHF per kid and for us it is it was definitely worth it. Not to mention that the walk to the area is breathtaking.

That’s Trümmelbach Falls—Switzerland’s underground spectacle that’ll leave you awestruck! 📸 **Why This Is a MUST-See:** ✅ **Glacial Powerhouse** – Witness 20,000 liters of water *per second* crashing through narrow gorges. ✅ **Mountain Elevator** – Ride a funicular into the cliffside to explore caves, tunnels, and jaw-dropping viewpoints. ✅ **Nature’s Sculpture** – Marvel at how water has carved swirling, roaring chasms over millennia. **Pro Tips:** 🔊 **Earplugs optional** – The roar is *deafening* (in the best way). 👟 Wear waterproof gear – You *will* get misty! 💰 Entry fee: ~CHF 16 (worth every franc). 📅 Visit May-October when the falls are accessible and raging! **Pair It With:** ✨ Staubbach Falls (5 mins away) – Combine the raw power of Trümmelbach with its graceful neighbor. 🚞 Jungfrau Railway – Continue your alpine adventure to the “Top of Europe.” This isn’t just a waterfall—it’s Earth’s heartbeat turned up to 11. Have you ever felt this level of natural power? 🌍💦 #TrümmelbachFalls #SwissAlps #GlacierMagic #EpicNature #AdventureAwaits *P.S. The spiral staircases inside the mountain feel like a secret dwarven kingdom. 🧙♂️✨*

Lake Thun

Mentioned on

Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Lake Thun is a stunning alpine lake located in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. It offers a range of activities such as kayaking, boat rentals, hiking trails, and swimming beaches. The town of Interlaken serves as an excellent base for exploring the region, nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with easy access to the iconic Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger mountains.
A gorgeous stretch of blue and teal with trees on either side of the water is nothing short of spectacular. I was completely in awe when we got on the boat. The lake was magnificent and the colours were gorgeous. We saw houses on the edge of the lake and mountains hovering near them. There was also a small waterfall somewhere in the middle. But as the evening progressed, the winds became extremely cold to a point where it became intolerable and we had to step inside. The boat itself was quite old, beautiful, and well-maintained. There is a restaurant and a snack bar but you will need to be seated in the dining area to be served. It can get crowded so you may want bring some snacks and beverages for the long ride. P.S. A Swiss Travel Pass is an ideal option to avoid long queues.

Lake Thun is absolutely stunning! The serene waters and beautiful surrounding hills create a perfect atmosphere for families.

A dreamlike corner of Switzerland: Lake Thun Switzerland is breathtaking in every way, but Lake Thun has a special kind of magic. Surrounded by mountains, charming villages, and historic castles, it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in fresh air, and marvel at nature. The water has a mesmerizing turquoise color, and every spot looks like it belongs on a postcard. Whether you’re sailing, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting down to take in the view, this lake offers peace and beauty in its purest form.

Lake Thun has absolutely amazing scenery. We spent almost an entire day there and still couldn't get enough. Starting in the morning, we enjoyed the view from St. Beatus Cave, getting a panoramic picture of the lake from above. Then we continued our adventure by ship, circling the lake and savoring every corner. The lake has very clear water, with beautiful typical farmhouses and the Swiss Alps in the background, adding to the picturesque setting. Every corner of the lake was stunning, perfect for healing and taking a break from your busy life.

Thun Castle, a 12th-century hilltop fortress in the canton of Bern, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Bernese Alps and Lake Thun. The castle's picturesque setting and pointed turrets make it feel like something out of a fairy tale. Visitors can explore the museum inside, which displays local history artifacts such as prehistoric and Roman relics, tapestries, majolica, and armor.
Wow my favorite part of thun! If you are visiting interlaken, stop by this amazing cute place!! It’s super peaceful and quiet and cute! Away from tourists!!! A bunch of locals. Loved the castle! And it’s free!

We were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!
Karl P — Google review
Castle Thun is a must-see when visiting the town! The displays and information are well-curated, making it easy to explore everything in just 2–3 hours. There are also interactive sections, like the wooden architecture exhibit in the attic and rooftop area, and the fascinating collection of ancient armors and weapons. The castle is well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a great balance of history and experience.
BA — Google review
Worth the trip. The castle is stunning and you can see artefacts of the Old Swiss Confederacy, such as halberds, tapestries and armors. The Knight's room and the room under the roof where particularly stunning. On top of that, 4 towers flanking the roof are accessible and give you wonderful views of the city
Sebastien F — Google review
The basic castle tour was interesting, but I was disappointed to find that there were virtually no period furnishings in any of the rooms. The audio tour aid added tremendously to the understanding of the castle history. Look closely, though, to find the signs which indicate when to use the audio aid. I recommend paying the extra fee to use it. I enjoyed the views from the tower. I paid extra for the special exhibit, which I didn't feel was worth the fee; skip it unless you are interested in forms of medieval punishment.
Michael A — Google review
Definitely do the audio tour if you come here! Beautiful castle with a lot of history and amazing views from the top! No need to book tickets in advance

Thun castle does not match the vibe of other castles of Switzerland like Gruyère castle and Chillion castle. The castle is poor in terms of content and exhibits. Not much to explore inside. The staff is very friendly and there are free locker rooms available to keep your luggage. The best part was the top level of Thun castle from where you get 4 different panoramic views of Thun city and Lake Thun. If you are visiting Thun city then definitely visit this place otherwise skip it. Entry to Thun castle is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

Jungfraujoch

Mountain pass

Scenic Railroads
Jungfraujoch, also known as the 'Top of Europe,' is a popular tourist destination and the highest railway station in Europe. Visitors can take the Jungfraubahn from either the Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald valley to reach this glacier saddle, but should be prepared for the high altitude.
An unforgettable experience. The train ride alone is spectacular, and at the top you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of glaciers and snow-capped peaks. A must-do in Switzerland.
Jasper B — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking. The top of Europe it prides itself as. 3475M of elevation. A must visit if you're in Grindelwald. You have to change trains twice to get up here but the views are amazing. Theres different stations that you can go to and there's an ice station as well. You can easily spend 2 to 3 hours here.
SL W — Google review
There’s no denying it: the Jungfraujoch is one of the most spectacular spots in all of Switzerland. The panorama is simply breathtaking — an endless sea of snow and glaciers framed by the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. It’s the kind of place that makes you whisper “wow” before you even realize you’re doing it. That said, the experience is very tourist-oriented — and I say that with both appreciation and a smile. On the one hand, it’s impressive how accessible everything is: tunnels, elevators, shops, cafés, even an ice palace. The Swiss engineering behind this mountaintop infrastructure deserves applause. On the other hand, the sheer number of visitors can make you feel like you’ve taken a scenic detour through a luxury shopping mall at 3,500 meters. And then there’s the crowd itself — a fascinating, unstoppable wave of excited tourists from all over the world. You haven’t truly experienced the Jungfraujoch until you’ve seen a group of people taking selfies in sneakers at nearly 4,000 meters above sea level. It’s equal parts surreal and entertaining — like a nature documentary directed by Wes Anderson. All in all, the Jungfraujoch remains an unforgettable experience. It’s beautiful, over-the-top, slightly chaotic, and absolutely worth it. Just don’t expect solitude or silence — and maybe bring sunglasses, patience, and a good sense of humor along with your camera.
Hugo H — Google review
Absolutely stunning, snow all round the year, less tourist compared to Titlis. A nice tour route set up. You will clearly need 5 hrs and more if you want to enjoy every spot at your pace. The snowtubing and sledging were absolute fun. 20 CHF for Half hour and unlimited rides. Ice palace was beautifully carved. The hot chocolate shop at Aletsch glacier was yummy. Point to note- you have to walk a lot there, but for older people and people who are unable to walk a lot, there are places to sit in the warmth of the tunnel and enjoy the views.
Subhasree R — Google review
Mürren is a village suspended between earth and sky, a quiet balcony carved into the cliffs of the Swiss Alps. Here, the world seems to breathe more slowly. Wooden chalets cling to the mountainsides like timeless guardians, and the air carries the clean, ringing silence of high places—broken only by the distant echo of waterfalls or the soft bells of grazing cows. From this lofty terrace, the giants of the Bernese Alps—Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau—stand like ancient sentinels, their snowy crowns catching the first blush of dawn and the last gold of evening. The clouds drift low, brushing past rooftops like wandering spirits, and every path leads to vistas that feel almost unreal, as if the mountains had stepped out of a painting and invited you to walk inside. Mürren is not merely a place to visit; it is a place to feel. A place where time loosens its grip, where every breath tastes of pine and glacier, and where the heart instinctively slows to the rhythm of the land. It is Switzerland at its most enchanting—quiet, majestic, and impossibly beautiful.

Eileen L — Google review
An absolute must see if you're in the Jungfrau region. The views of the Alps are unreal. The viewing platform at the Sphinx and the area with the flags lower down give the best photo opportunities. The ice sculptures are worth checking out.
Dylan N — Google review
The number one attraction as well as the most expensive attention in all of Switzerland. It cost about $500 usd for two people. The gondola ride up is amazing and the best cable car ride in the world. After the cable car you arrive at eigen glacier which is also very beautiful, then you take the train up to jungfraujoch and the train stops in the middle for you to see another glacier. Once you’re at the top there are several stations you can take a look at most of which can be seen in the photos I posted. You’ll also want to check their public webcam to make sure the weather is good on the day you come.

Walking through the village, you’ll be greeted by traditional Swiss chalets, vibrant flower boxes, and the soothing sound of cascading water. The views are simply unforgettable—lush green meadows, dramatic rock faces, and the majestic Staubbach Falls tumbling down near the village center. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just strolling, every corner offers a picture-perfect scene. For adventure enthusiasts, Lauterbrunnen is the gateway to incredible experiences: take a cable car up to Mürren or Wengen for panoramic alpine views, or explore nearby Jungfraujoch for a high-altitude thrill. If you prefer a slower pace, enjoy a coffee at a local café while soaking in the serene beauty of the valley.

Zytglogge

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
In the heart of Bern's Old Town, the Zytglogge, or Clock Tower, is a historic landmark dating back to 1405. This 12-meter-high tower features mechanical moving figures that come to life on the hour, including a parade of bears, a jester, a golden rooster, and Chronos, the god of time.
Zytglogge in Bern is one of those places that catches your eye even if you’re not looking for it. It’s an old clock tower right in the middle of the old town, and the first time I saw it, I just stood there staring for a bit—it’s that striking. The big astronomical clock face, the golden details, and the little figures that move when the hour strikes—it all has this old-world charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. What I loved most was how it’s just part of the street, not tucked away or behind gates. Locals walk by like it’s nothing, but as a visitor, you really appreciate how much history is packed into that spot. The street around it is full of arcades, little shops, cafés, and those classic Bernese buildings with red roofs and green shutters. I caught the clock show on the hour, and though it’s short and simple, it was fun to see the mechanical figures come to life. If you're wandering through Bern, you’ll probably pass it anyway, but it’s worth pausing for. Zytglogge isn’t just a landmark—it’s a lovely little moment of Bern’s character and history.

Visiting the Zytglogge was a highlight of my trip to Bern. This 13th-century clock tower is not just a beautiful landmark, it’s a piece of living history. I arrived a few minutes before the hour and was amazed by the mechanical figures and the precise chime—it feels like stepping back in time. The surrounding Old Town streets are charming, full of cafés and little shops, making it a perfect spot to explore after watching the show. Whether you love history, architecture, or just a great photo opportunity, the Zytglogge is a must-see in Bern.

Walking through Bern’s Old Town, I stumbled upon Bim Zytglogge and was instantly charmed.

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) was built in 1220 as part of Bern’s western gate, becoming a civic clock tower after the city expanded. The astronomical clock was added in 1530 with moving figures such as bears, a jester, and Chronos, which perform each hour.

In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

BearPark, located in Bern, is a hilly park that houses several brown bears, which are the city's symbol and have been since the 12th century. The park incorporates a 19th-century bear pit where the bears used to roam before being moved to their own spacious park in 2009. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the old town from the elevated Rose Garden above BearPark and from the platform of the cathedral tower.
I’m usually not a fan of places that keep animals in captivity—but Bear Park in Bern was a real surprise. The setting is absolutely beautiful, nestled beside the river with plenty of space for the bears to roam. They’ve even got access to a natural swimming pool from the river, which was amazing to see. The bears looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely well cared for—it felt more like a sanctuary than a zoo. Best of all, it wasn’t crowded at all when we visited, and to our surprise, entry is completely free. You can walk right through and observe these magnificent brown bears up close, without any fencing or enclosures getting in the way of the view. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Bern—it was a highlight of our visit.

I recently visited the Bear Park in Bern and it was such a delightful experience! Nestled along the scenic banks of the Aare River, the park offers a peaceful and natural environment where bears roam freely in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. The bears looked healthy and well cared for, and it was heartwarming to see them play, rest, and interact with their surroundings. The park is free to enter, which makes it a wonderful stop for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing moment in the city. It’s also just a short walk from the old town, so it’s easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Overall, Bear Park is a beautiful blend of nature, education, and conservation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern!
YippieYaYa — Google review
It’s quite astonishing to see a bear park right in the middle of the city — a truly unique setting. The enclosure is spacious, well-designed, and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings along the river. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it as comfortable as possible for the bears. Still, it’s a reminder that the animals are in captivity, which can feel a bit bittersweet despite the excellent care they receive.
Akhil M — Google review
The views are quite beautiful, and the bears are adorable, but I feel terrible they don't have more space to roam around in. They did build a little section in the river so when it is hot, the bears can at least cool down and fish :)

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC.

If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

Very nice waterfall. You can view it from the top or from the bottom. During summer or depending on how the water power plants upstream are adjusted, amount of water can be small, but at least when we visited in July, there was enough to call it waterfall and it to look magnificent.

Great waterfall zo visit! Especially, when the powerplant opens the floodgates. When you stand near it, t's a good way to cool down as well during hot days. Finding parking can be tricky at the base of the waterfall. Bit the top has arranged parking.

Great walk to get to this place, amazing view of the waterfall right in the mountains. Not too strenuous to get there for a pretty basic hiker like me.

An old trade route and wow this must have been a popular stopping point for hundreds of years. I love the way there is a jetti that allows you to feel extra close to this dramatic waterfall. the valley leading up to it has many waterfalls, more if rained. I reccomend a visit. it's up a long dead end road from beneco. but there are places to stay and great walking at good altitude after the dam and mountain hut.

Lake Brienz, located to the east of Interlaken in Switzerland, is a popular destination for tourists due to its stunning turquoise waters and picturesque mountain views. The area offers a variety of activities such as boat cruises, hiking trails, and historical routes to explore throughout the year. One notable stretch along the lake's coastline is from Iseltwald village to the impressive Giessbach waterfall, known for its enchanting water features.
My boat ride on Lake Brienz was memorable. Endless views of the turquoise lake and surrounding Alps were breathtaking. Boat was clean and comfortable, service excellent. A peaceful, unforgettable way to soak in the beauty of Switzerland. Highly recommend.

Lake Brienz was one of our favourite spots when we visited Interlaken. Strolling along the lakeside and browsing the shops on both sides of the street was such a relaxing experience.

This stunning lake in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland is one of the most scenic and serene places in the country. Surrounded by majestic mountains, lush forests, and picturesque villages, Lake Brienz offers a variety of activities and attractions for every type of traveller. Whether you want to relax on a boat ride, swim in the crystal-clear water, hike to a waterfall, or explore a historic town, Lake Brienz has something for you. We stayed at Lake Brienz, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful and scenic moments of our trip. The lake's turquoise blue waters are truly mesmerizing. Absolutely captivated by the scenery. Waking up to a view of the Eiger and Jungfrau bathed in early sunlight is something I’ll never forget. The crisp mountain air, the mirror-calm lake, and the gentle sound of water lapping against the quay created the perfect backdrop for a peaceful stroll. Treated to postcard perfect views, a serene water, flower lined pathways, and the gentle rhythm of swans gliding across the lake. It is a must visit. PS: Whether you’re sipping a coffee as dawn breaks or enjoying the rose-gold glow of sunset on snowy peaks, every moment here feels like a postcard comes to life. If you’re after pure Alpine beauty and true relaxation, this spot i.e the Lake Brienz is not to be missed. Highly recommended for visiting when in Swiss.

This train is a must!! Arrive 45-30min early to get a good seat and sit on the left side closest to the entrance to get the best views. The train takes you to the top of the mountain and you can get off and enjoy beautiful views and walk around and see the beautiful cows and enjoy nature. They also have a restaurant where you can have cold beer. They are so friendly at the restaurant! During our time here we really felt close to nature and felt such peace and calmness. It’s a must do activity!
Liz M — Google review
Amazing! Totally worth it. Try to plan so that it's not too cloudy and foggy at the top of the mountain so you can enjoy the view. There are a couple of Cafe's at the top. Give yourself 1-2 hours to enjoy the view before the return trip.
Hussein M — Google review
Our journey stopped at the middle station as the train derailed, the staff said she has never seen it happen before so it doesn’t look like it happens often, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It was a cloudy day with little bit of sunshine, the view from starting point to the middle station was already stunning. As other people photos have shown, the best part is definitely the second half of the journey that we missed, it was a shame to have travelled across half the world to get here and missed that but we didn’t regret taking the train ride and enjoyed the first half, and unexpected events are part of the fun of travelling! While stuck at the middle station, they offered us apple juice for free. It took them about 1 to 2 hours to get another train up to take us back down to the starting point, then a full refund was given back to us.

This is an absolute must-do — totally worth it! We only made it up to Planalp that day because it was snowing at the top, but even that part of the ride was stunning. You get sweeping views of Lake Brienz and the surrounding snowy peaks all along the way. At Planalp, there are several hiking trails plus a restaurant that was packed with people. Honestly, the moment we opened the door it felt like walking straight into a scene from Red Dead Redemption 2 😂. Just a tip: if the sun isn’t out, it gets really chilly up there, so bring warm clothes. Definitely one of the unmissable highlights in the area!

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, an absolute MUST when visiting Switzerland. Highly recommended booking your tickets in advance, as they tend to sell out quickly. I was fortunate to visit on a clear day and the scenery was breathtaking at every turn. The panoramic views were nothing short of spectacular. So glad I didn’t miss this unforgettable ride.
Cat H — Google review
Well, if you are lucky and the sky ia clear, the views are insane! Really recommend for the views. It was a bit unpleasant on the way up because you have to stay with other 7 people in the same cabin all the time and it’s to tight. The best thing about this activity is that they offer you FOR FREE the ticket if it’s your birthday the day you go- so 100 less on expenses and they offer you as well a small gift ❤️

Unforgettable experience with the steam train and the hotel on top of Rothorn. The view was absolutely stunning during the train ride. The hotel staff was customer-oriented and very attentive. Food selection was quite limited, though. But we can understand because it's nearly 3000m from sea level, there's no direct access to supply.

I have to say that it is a very worthwhile experience. It is recommended to stay on the mountain for a while so that you can overlook the entire lake! also! The staff are really patient and kind! ! I accidentally left my headphones on the train and they helped to keep it until I was coming back!!! Sincerely appreciate it which makes me love Swiss 🥹

Handicraft museum
Museums
Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum, is a captivating showcase of traditional Swiss architecture and crafts. Situated about 6km from Brienz train station, the museum features over 100 century-old buildings from various regions of Switzerland. Visitors can witness demonstrations of cheesemaking and rural crafts while exploring meticulously reconstructed historical structures. The vast parkland houses animals like rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, cows, and ducks to provide an immersive experience in the region's rich cultural heritage.
I wouldn’t have chosen to come here on my own, but had a very enjoyable morning walking around the museum. Included in the Swiss Travel Pass, it’s an excellent and inexpensive way to get some steps in and learn about the history of the country. My favorite parts were the animals roaming throughout and the accordion group playing fabulous music at the cultural stage. We went to the east entrance (a few stops later on the same bus line if coming from Brienz) and made a loop before making it all the way to the west entrance. It was a little difficult to get around for young kids/strollers/those with mobility concerns.

Saw very good review about this place decided to give it a try. The playground is nice. CAROUSELL is simple but age 130 years old something different. The house that showcase how 200 years ago people living here is quite interesting, but wish there are more English explanation so that we know what we seeing. Many houses we visit is close or no one around at all. If need to pay for ticket I think is not quite worth it. We got cover by Swiss travel pass. The train ride inside is almost non existence because only a few ride a day at selected timing and you can tour around if you want to take train. End up we walk alot and some are not easy path. We were lost half way as this place is huge and limited sign. The map and sign some need sometime to figure out.

it's an amazing journey through time and hand-crafts! there are hundreds of structures guiding you through the places and timea of older switzerland with live demonstration for pottery, rope making, milling and many more! the crafts are well explained and kids & adults are equally in awe! many nifty playgrounds and infrastructure make the experience well rounded. the horse carriage schedule and high prices could be made more pleasant. also more simple info for how such houses were build would be cool.

Absolutely loved every moment of my visit! I had the honor of meeting a leather craftsman who was so kind as to make me a keyring. I chose a Longhorn design, perfect for a Texan. I also met the soup and coffee makers who used original equipment to create delicious, timeless food and drinks. It was truly amazing to watch. As I walked around the open-air museum, I was fascinated by how each house was unique in its own way. There was also a restaurant and a shack selling food and drinks. I could have easily spent the entire day there but unfortunately I had to catch a train and it's time to leave. Highly recommended.

So much to do and such great value for money.

The Gelmerbahn is a seasonal cable railway that stands out as one of the steepest in Europe, offering an exhilarating ride with stunning views of the peaks and valleys. To access this thrilling adventure, visitors can either drive to Handegg or take public transport to Innertkirchen followed by a short bus trip. As you ascend at an impressive gradient of up to 106%, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking Alpine scenery, culminating in glimpses of the beautiful Gelmersee.
Amazing experience The rail itself is a bit scary but it worth to ride it.You can see stunning view. After the train ride, you can enjoy 2hour hikes. Since the train is limited, it is less crowded in the hiking area.

The views during the hike and the funicular ride were breathtaking. Nature was in full display. We saw beautiful green mountains, sparkling lakes that reflected the clear sky, and we could hear distant waterfalls. This made the experience magical. Even though we had to wait a little for the funicular, it didn’t matter because the scenery was too lovely to mind the delay. The Golmersee hike tested our stamina. The paths were twisty and rocky, challenging us at every step. But for those who took on the challenge, it was worth it. Each step brought us closer to amazing views and hidden natural spots, giving us a rewarding sense of achievement. There is a small shop to buy tickets, snacks, and drinks. The toilets are clean too.

Overall, this one’s pretty cool and definitely worth a stop if you’re passing by. The near-vertical 90° up-and-down ride feels like a roller coaster — pure thrill. At the top you can hike around the lake (half or full loop), though when I went the water level was low so it didn’t look its best. Still, the 270° mountain views up there made up for it, even if the snow was a bit thin. Good to know: you don’t have to stick strictly to the time printed on your ticket. If there are empty seats, just let the staff know and they’ll usually let you hop on earlier. The downside: roadwork near the parking area made driving/parking a hassle, and construction of a new viewing platform at the top meant some extra noise.

We rode the Gelmerbahn on the last day of the season in october and the views over the mountain with all the autumn colors were such a memorable experience. It did challenge our respect for hights but we felt very safe. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. We did book our tickets in advance but were able to ride at different times than booked because we arrived a little early. This might not be able to do if it's high season.

Sights & Landmarks
Schöllenen Gorge, located between the towns of Goschenen and Andermatt, is a stunning canyon formed by the river Reuss. This steep gorge offers a panoramic road and railway adorned with dramatic bridges and tunnels, including the famous Teufelsbrucke (Devils Bridge) which dates back to 1595. The area also features attractions like the Suvorow bar and Russian monument, making it a historic site with plenty to explore.
This bridge is about 20 minutes away from the train station in Andermatt. You will have to cross a tunnel (short one though) to reach the bridge...and it is fantastic! There is also a Monument (Suworow) very close to the bridge. The people into rock climbing also have the chance to do so in the area. Pristine waters, nature and high mountains make it an awesome place to visit!

Very nice hike that is easy to get to from Andermatt. We walked down the path to the pretty bridge at the bottom (all downhill). Then walked back up and then cut into the tunnels to check out the other side of the river. It’s cool to watch the people doing the via Ferrata (near the start of the trail). Easy-ish hike/walk and very pretty scenery.

The Titlis Cliff Walk is a thrilling pedestrian suspension bridge situated at the peak of Mount Titlis in Switzerland. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it offers breathtaking views of the Uri Alps and an adrenaline-pumping experience as it hangs over 500 meters above the ground. Accessible via the Titlis Rotair gondola, this 100-meter-long bridge provides an awe-inspiring opportunity to walk across a narrow pathway high above the alpine abyss.
Unforgettable Mount Titlis Experience! ❄️🇨🇭 Visiting Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly a dream come true! From the scenic cable car ride with jaw-dropping panoramic views to reaching the snow-covered peak—it was magical from start to finish. I had my lunch right on the mountain, and believe me, the combination of good food and spectacular views made it extra special. Despite the crowds, the entire place was impressively clean and well-maintained. The highlights? So many! Walking through the ice cave, gliding through the snow on the ice flyer, braving the hanging bridge suspended over the Alps, and the thrilling ice gliding were all beyond amazing. Each activity added a unique touch to the adventure. I would absolutely do this again and again—it’s that memorable. If you ever find yourself in Engelberg, don’t miss this place. I highly recommend Mount Titlis to anyone visiting Switzerland. You’ll fall in love with it just like I did!

The walk was so exciting! We crossed cliffs surrounded by eternal snow, and when I visited in autumn, the temperature was around –2°C. There were many tourists from Asia, and I was glad to find a prayer room (musholla) and a restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play in the snow yet because it wasn’t the right season. But don’t worry — I’ll be coming back this winter for sure! ❄️🇨🇭

Whole area is under construction with large machinery everywhere. Area is now covered in tractor marks in the grey, watery, and dirty snow. At least there’s a clean toilet and good ice cream with a cool ice tunnel. I’d say only the ride up in the gondola was worth it for the view.

This was a really cool part of the Titlis summit experience. This bridge was one of my favorite parts up there. The views are just nuts, surrounding you by snow and mountains in every direction. Just a heads up, everyone stops to take pictures on it, so it can get a little clogged up. It was also cool to see who else was braving the heights—we saw a huge number of tourists from India and a lot from China. It doesn't take long to do, and it's included with your ticket. It's a must-do for the great photos and the bragging rights!

Our family trip to Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly unforgettable. The journey itself began with a stunning ride from Lucerne to Engelberg, which is the base station for Titlis. The scenic views along the way are absolutely breathtaking and make the trip worthwhile even before reaching the mountain. From Engelberg, we took the gondola ride up to the summit. The ride is smooth and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, valleys, and snowcapped peaks—an experience in itself. At the top, we enjoyed exploring the famous Cliff Walk, which is thrilling and offers unmatched views of the surrounding mountains. We also walked through the Glacier Cave, an enchanting tunnel of ice that fascinated both adults and kids. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the Ice Flyer chairlift and Snow Park were closed during our visit, but there was still plenty to enjoy. For meals, there are several restaurants inside offering pizza, pasta, and other cuisines, which made it easy and convenient to relax after exploring. Overall, Mount Titlis is a perfect family destination—offering adventure, incredible alpine beauty, and unique activities. Even with some attractions closed, the experience was magical and is a must-do when visiting Switzerland.

Beautiful mountains. There are many activities. Suspension bridge, glacier cave,cliff walk etc. I visited in the mid of August. Because of rain and fog they closed Suspension bridge. Cliff walk also not done, Because of poor visibility. We should avoid visiting if the weather is bad. But the cable car ride was too good I could not take pictures much Because of the weather. They have restaurant in the 2nd floor. , coffee station, souvenir shop etc. One should wear good layers even in summer time. Because it's cold on top of the hills. Carry umbrella, rain coat, gloves.

Good but not great. Titlis is widely popular as a budget friendly alternative to expensive Jungfraujoch which results in huge crowds coming here even on weekdays. The rotating cable car is always overcrowded. On the top level, there are activities like 'I love Titlis' photospot, Titlis cliff walk, Ice caves with ice sculptures and DDLJ cutout for Indians. Ice Flyer requires an extra ticket to be purchased. However will not recommended it as crowd spoils everything here. The restaurant on top is good and you can also bring packed food and eat in seating area there enjoying stunning views from windows. On first level from where you change to Rotating cable car there is snow park which has activities like snow tubing and sledging which are free. I enjoyed snow tubing it was great fun and a must do. There is also free shuttle service from Engleberg station to Titlis base. One star deducted for excessive crowds. The snow on top is very very slippery so mind your steps. If you are looking for privacy and calm experience, I would recommend to skip Titlis and go to other swiss snow mountains like Schilthorn, Matterhorn glacier paradise, Gornergrat Matterhorn or Glacier 3000 which are less crowded.

It was an unforgettable experience for me. Enjoyed the journey from Zurich to Mount Titlis. Cable car and rotating Gondola ride was exciting. Experiencing the Glacier cave was amazing. Enjoyed every second during my trip to Mount Titlis. While descending also visited the lake in between. Lake and the surrounding was serene. I had booked my journey from Zurich HB station. There is information center. People there are very friendly to assist. I shall cherish this memory lifelong.

Under Construction and lot of space reserved and restricted, few restaurants space used by few people as prayer room… restaurants views also obstructed…. Construction will complete somewhere in 2026-2027. Single photo on ice flyer and clif walk cost 19 CHF. Few other places are also closed and under renovation… snow park is not active… on lake should have installed paddle boat so people not expert can enjoy and sign board says on own risk….

An Unforgettable Alpine Paradise! A visit to Mount Titlis is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking experiences you can have in the Swiss Alps. From the incredible journey to the summit to the spectacular activities at the top, every moment is filled with awe-inspiring beauty and a sense of adventure. It's an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Switzerland. The Gondola Ride: A Rotating Spectacle The journey to the summit is an attraction in itself. It begins with a comfortable gondola ride from Engelberg, gliding smoothly over lush green valleys and charming Swiss chalets. But the true highlight is the final leg of the ascent on the Titlis Rotair, the world's first revolving cable car. As you step inside, the gondola begins a slow, 360-degree rotation, ensuring that you don't miss a single angle of the phenomenal landscape unfolding below. You'll watch as the green pastures give way to rugged rock faces and then to a vast expanse of pristine white snow and ice. The panoramic view of the surrounding peaks is simply jaw-dropping, making the ride up an unforgettable and magical experience. Breathtaking Panoramas from the Summit Reaching the summit at over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) feels like stepping into another world. The air is crisp, and you are surrounded by a stunning panorama of snow-covered mountains and ancient glaciers. On a clear day, the view seems endless, stretching across the Uri Alps. The viewing platform offers a perfect vantage point to soak it all in. Standing there, above the clouds, you truly feel on top of the world. The sheer scale and raw beauty of the alpine landscape are humbling and will be etched in your memory forever. The Thrilling Cliff Walk For those seeking a bit of a thrill, the Titlis Cliff Walk is an absolute must. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it's an engineering marvel that offers an exhilarating experience. Stepping onto the bridge, with a sheer drop below you, is a heart-pounding moment. Yet, any fear is quickly replaced by wonder as you walk across, suspended in the air with the majestic glacier and mountain peaks all around you. It’s a short walk, but the combination of adrenaline and spectacular scenery makes it one of the most unique and memorable parts of the visit. In summary, Mount Titlis delivers an exceptional alpine adventure. The combination of the revolutionary gondola ride, the awe-inspiring summit views, and the adventurous Cliff Walk makes for a perfect day trip. It's a place of immense natural beauty that offers both tranquility and excitement. Highly recommended!

Mount Pilatus is a stunning mountain peak in Switzerland, offering sweeping views and a range of amenities including a restaurant and hotel. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne, it provides an incredible setting with views of famous mountains like Rigi and Stanserhorn. The area also boasts a well-preserved medieval Old Town, souvenir shops, high-quality restaurants, and beautiful waterfront promenades.
I am struggling to find the right words to describe how incredible Mount Pilatus is. All I can say is that you absolutely CANNOT miss this if you are anywhere near Lucerne. The adventure begins with the cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, which was full of surprises. Of course, the views are amazing, but I was not expecting the ride to be such a thrill! It climbs at a seriously steep angle, and it's fascinating to watch the scenery and plants completely change as you shoot up the mountain. Once you get to the top, there are several easy, short hiking trails, and every single step is just ridiculously beautiful. You get these insane 360-degree views of Lucerne's unique landscape, the massive lake, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The photos don't even do it justice. And the wildlife! We saw mountain goats just chilling on the cliffs, basically posing for our pictures. Not to mention the friendly yellow-billed choughs (like mountain ducks) that are everywhere. From the journey up to the views at the top, this was a 10/10 experience. Just do it!

If you're in or neat Lucerne Mount Pilatus is a must see. I took the train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then took the cog train up the mountain. I had absolutely perfect weather and the views were stunning. There is a restaurant multiple lookout points and a few trails I hiked. I then took the gondola down the other side of the mountain. Highly recommend!

A definite must do,we had the silver round trip journey and it was well worth it,went up via the cable car and gondola and down by the cog train The views were amazing 👏 also the dragons caves were cool
Erwin T — Google review
Beautiful views all around. Be careful about visiting during spring, as parts of the viewing decks may be closed because of snow as late as early june in my experience. The facilities are new and very nice. I would recommend to take the cog rail up, and the gondola down the mountain for the best experience. Worth every penny.

My visit to Mount Pilatus was absolutely unforgettable! The entire journey — from the climb up through stunning mountain landscapes to the breathtaking views at the top — felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of thrilling rides, fresh mountain air, and panoramic scenery makes it a must-visit destination in Switzerland. The facilities are well-organized, clean and tourist-friendly. The staff were helpful and very professional, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Whether you take the world’s steepest cogwheel railway or the aerial cableways, the adventure is incredible in every way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland — Mount Pilatus truly feels like being on top of the world!

What a spectacular place! If you are visiting Switzerland, spend some hours at Mt. Pilatus. I took the steap railway to the top, but you can also choose to hike.
Marius N — Google review
Mount Pilatus was definitely a highlight of the trip to Switzerland. The weather in mid September was cooperative (it was as warm and sunny on the mountain as in Lucerne). Classic trip as advised: bus, cable cars to the mountain and trip back via cog-wheel train and lake cruise ending in Lucerne. Nature beauty is unreal, hiking a few paths at the top (paved or stairs) is almost a must. Utter surprise how tasty were the local beef hot dogs at the fast food joint on the mountain.

City government office
Neighborhoods
Rathaus Stadt Luzern is an impressive Italian Renaissance-style town hall that has been a significant building in Lucerne for centuries. Designed by Anton Isenmann and constructed between 1602 and 1606, it serves as the seat of government. Located along the charming Kornmarkt square, its towering structure and sturdy stone walls can be seen from Chapel Bridge. The landmark also features a beautiful clock tower, adding to its historical significance.
Visited the Rathaus in Luzern last week, and it’s such a gem! The building itself is stunning—classic Swiss architecture with those beautiful frescoes and wooden details. It’s right by the river, so the location is perfect for a stroll after checking it out. We popped into the basement restaurant too, and the food was surprisingly good—solid Swiss dishes with a cozy vibe. Staff were super friendly, and it wasn’t too crowded, even with tourists around. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Luzern, especially if you love history and a good photo op!

Chapel Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrucke, is a 14th-century wooden bridge in Lucerne that is considered one of the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. It is a significant part of the city's medieval fortifications and was named after St. Peter's Chapel nearby. The bridge crosses the River Reuss and features a roof adorned with 17th-century paintings depicting local history.
Walking across the Chapel Bridge after dark is just an absolutely core Lucerne experience. During the day it's beautiful, but at night, it's pure magic. You stand in the middle of this ancient wooden bridge, and the view from it is just incredible. The old buildings along the riverfront, like the Am-Rhyn-Haus with its clock tower, are all lit up, and their lights shimmer and reflect on the water. It’s so quiet and peaceful. I must have taken a dozen photos just like these, trying to capture how beautiful it was. If you're looking for a romantic spot or just a place to have a quiet moment, this is it. An absolute must-do.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. It was a beautiful evening, and the entire setting felt almost magical. The iconic wooden bridge, with its charming roof and historic paintings, reflected perfectly in the calm waters of the Reuss River—making it one of the most picturesque spots we’ve seen in Switzerland. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere around the bridge. As we walked through, the gentle lighting and the flower decorations along the bridge added to the charm. Right nearby, the Old Town was buzzing with life. The streets were lively with cafés, restaurants, and little shops, making it a joy to stroll through. The blend of history, culture, and energy gave the whole area a very warm and welcoming vibe. Walking across the bridge and then meandering through the cobblestone streets of Old Town felt like stepping into a postcard. The combination of medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and the vibrant evening atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are in Lucerne, visiting Chapel Bridge is absolutely a must-do, especially in the evening when the city lights and reflections on the river create such a breathtaking scene. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a place that captures the heart and soul of Lucerne.

Chapel Bridge lives up to the hype being the most iconic outdoor attraction in Lucerne. Pictures of the bridge from the river shore streets are more scenic than photos taken from the bridge itself. Given that fire of 1993 destroyed at least two thirds of the bridge, don’t expect too much from exposed paintings. Fortunately, Water Tower was spared and bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 8 months carefully reconstructed to preserve historic details.

Lucerne is beautiful city. The Chapel Bridge is one of the iconic attractions of the city. Very beautiful bridge with nice view of the river and the surrounding.
Nissim C — Google review
Beautiful bridge which has significant history; there had been a fire in the 90's but apart from some blackened sections it had been repaired. It was not crowded. It provided lovely views of the mountains, lake and Luzern itself. The wood is lovely and the craftsmanship is evident everywhere with examples of quality joinery etc. It's a short walk from the main railway station. I found it peaceful and calming. We were out of season.

The Chapel Bridge is an absolute gem in the heart of Lucerne. This historic wooden bridge, adorned with beautiful flower boxes, offers stunning views of the Reuss River and the charming old town. Walking across feels like stepping back in time, especially with the unique triangular paintings under the roof that tell stories from Lucerne’s past. It’s not just a bridge—it’s an experience that combines history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery.

Walked across Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne, and it was absolutely beautiful. The historic wooden bridge, decorated with colorful flowers and paintings, stretches across the Reuss River with a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and old town buildings. The reflection of the bridge in the calm water adds to its charm, especially around sunset. The whole area has a peaceful yet lively vibe — full of history and beauty. It’s one of those places that perfectly captures the spirit of Switzerland: calm, timeless, and picturesque.

Lion Monument

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland is a poignant and enduring tourist attraction. It was created to honor the Swiss mercenaries who lost their lives defending the Tuileries Palace during an attack in 1792. The monument features a sculpture of a dying lion impaled by a spear, carved into natural sandstone rock above a pond. The names of the fallen officers and soldiers are engraved nearby, adding to the melancholic atmosphere of the setting.
We wandered through the vibrant city center and stumbled upon a hidden gem. It was a remarkable spot to explore and offered a stunning backdrop for photos in the heart of Luzern. Though it was a bit bustling, we seized the moment and captured a beautiful picture.
Mrs T — Google review
As a tourist attraction, the Lion Monument is relatively small in scale, yet it draws a large number of visitors. The sculpture of the dying lion is strikingly lifelike, full of emotion and quiet power. In front of the carving lies a small reflecting pool, where a few lonely fallen leaves float on the water, adding to the somber mood of the place. Overall, the visit takes about 5–10 minutes. No tickets required.
Sweet K — Google review
A truly impressive monument, much bigger than I expected and really beautiful. The Lion of Lucerne is carved directly into the rock to honor the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. The expression of the lion is incredibly realistic and moving. The surrounding park and pond make it a peaceful place to stop and reflect. Definitely worth a visit!
Patrizia P — Google review
The Lion Monument is located in Lucerne, Switzerland, it is a massive rock commemorating the Swiss Guards who were killed defending King Louis XVI during the French Revolution in 1792. It is a very peaceful and tranquil place to visit, as there is a small reflection pool at the base with lovely trees and flowers around. It is easy to find and an easier walk to get there.

Lion monument was made to honour mercenary soldiers of Switzerland who died during the French revolution. The monument is stunning with huge lion sculpture in a rock with high level detailing. The surroundings are very beautiful and this is an ideal place for photoshop. Don't miss out to see the reflection of lion monument in the small lake below it. This is a must visit place in Lucerne and an important part of Swiss history.

Magnificent though-provoking monument to Swiss guards who died defending French king at the revolution times, emphasizing sacrifice by the people who fulfilled their professional duties to the end at the cost of their lives. It’s a small public park easily accessible by 10 mins walk from Lucerne lake shore. There are restrooms onsite, also expect the park to be crowded almost at any time of the day.
Mike Z — Google review
Shaded area with a calm pond and beautifully carved sculpture. There are historical and interpretive signs all around, plus a few benches. Additionally, we found the most technologically-advanced, free public restrooms we'd ever seen here - I seriously almost took a photo of the inside of it!

Lake Lucerne is the fourth-largest lake in Switzerland and offers boat trips with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. A steam boat trip from Lucerne to Uri, lasting about 2.5 hours, provides stunning views along the shores and into the mountains. The southernmost part of Lake Lucerne, Urnersee (Lake of Uri), is rich in Swiss history and mythology, featuring iconic spots like the meadow of Rutli and Tellsplatte.

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole of Europe, in my opinion. Obviously, the Alps on one side and Lucerne city on the other side give it ample backdrop for those picture-perfect photographs, but still :) Do not miss the boat rides available from Lucerne harbor. You'll thank me when you take one :)

Located in the middle of Lucerne city, surrounded by the beautiful Alps Hills. Lake Lucerne is a very picturesque one, probably one of the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Also is one of the main attractions of Lucerne (while it also has become one of the most recognizable images of the country). It is a symbol of the city and gives a sublime beauty on sunny days. Especially when even the nearby peaks are still snow-covered and can be seen in the background the Pilatus, majestic. There are many boats that allow you to traverse the lake and cross from one bank to another or even cruise excursions to nearby towns. It's a pretty big lake reaching over 210 meters. PS:- Highly Recommended for taking a boat tour around it to enjoy the tranquil beauty it holds.

Parking is mostly ln a paved oval double loaded lot. Toilets and pay station are at entrance/ exit. It accepts coins or credit cards. Two or three hours may be warranted. The castle is refurbrished to a high level and has many informative exhibits. It is a long steep walk on pavement to the gates.

Absolutely amazing castle. The information and kid friendliness is unmatched. We changed our plans to come here and we are so glad we did. Our kids made crafts that were provided, dressed up as knights and pages, had a sword fight, saw knight’s armor, climbed all through the castle and saw the amazing Fauchi, the castle Dragon! If you want to see an authentic Swiss Castle and have kids with you, it’s a must do. I would go back just to see the roses.
