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!
Pavel ( — Google review
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.

Nestled in the heart of Leukerbad, Walliser Alpentherme & Spa offers a range of spa facilities including saunas, massage treatments, and an outdoor thermal bath with stunning mountain views. The complex is conveniently located near restaurants and nightlife. While some visitors found the entrance hard to locate, others enjoyed meeting fellow travelers and appreciated the clean pools and welcoming staff.
This is a wonderful thermal bath! Location is breath taking!!!!! Love the inside and outside pools, wash areas are clean and super well stocked. Absolutely recommend at least a 3 hour stay.
Amlu N — Google review
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
Tracey B — Google review
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.

Lake Thun

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 an absolutely stunning and romantic lake! I visited in 2019 with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lake offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear water, and many beautiful picnic spots to relax and enjoy nature.

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.

Mountain peak
Outdoor Activities

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.

Harder Kulm is a must-visit elevated lookout point in Interlaken, Switzerland, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. It's an ideal destination for families, couples, friends, and solo explorers. The modern building at the top provides seating for 130 people and is perfect for meetings, seminars, and events with its unique view.
In my opinion, this place is a must-visit if you are in Interlaken. A life-changing tip: try to go a bit before sunset, so you can really enjoy the best of the view. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes. I wouldn’t recommend the vegetarian pizza – it wasn’t really worth it, but the view made up for it, haha. There are also some shops where you can buy ice cream and souvenirs.
Khalad J — Google review
We visited on a bit of an overcast day but the skies cleared and offered spectacular views of Interlaken. We purchased the special ticket offering return trip on the Harder Klum Funicular and a set lunch menu at the Panorama restaurant at the top. Great value. The trip is also wheelchair accessible however you need to locate the back entrance which is further up the road from the main boarding area, on the first side entrance on the left. Well worth the visit.

The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — definitely one of the best panoramas in Switzerland. The ride up was smooth and easy, and once you get there, the viewing platform makes it feel like you’re floating above Interlaken. We loved taking our time at the top just soaking in the mountains, the lakes, and the fresh air. Such a peaceful and memorable place. Totally worth the trip — highly recommended!

We recently visited Harder Kulm, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located above the beautiful town of Interlaken, this panoramic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The journey to the top is an adventure in itself taking a funicular ride from Interlaken up to the summit ( there happens to be a pretty steep hike as well that can take you up there) was smooth, comfortable, and gave us our first taste of the stunning alpine scenery. Once at the top, we were greeted with a 360-degree vista that truly took our breath away. The observation platform is perfect for photos, and we spent quite a while just soaking in the views. We also had a chance to explore the area a little more, with well-maintained paths leading to even more scenic spots around the summit. One of the highlights was the viewing platform's ( also referred to as the two lakes bridge as you get to see the Thun and Brienz lakes) glass floor.Stepping out onto it felt like flying over the town of Interlaken, and it was a thrilling experience. For those who are a bit more adventurous, there also are a couple of hikes around ( one’s simple the other being a challenging strenuous hike) where you can feel completely surrounded by nature and mountains. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the warm atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day out or an adventure in the mountains, Harder Kulm delivers both in spades. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and it's definitely worth the visit!

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.

Gorgeous! Recommend to take a hike from Bettmerhorn to Fiesch (along the glacier). The hike was not challenging but offered a very beautiful view of the mountain range. The Black Nose Sheeps were very cute too.

Visiting the Aletsch Glacier was an unforgettable experience. Standing before the largest glacier in the Alps, I was completely in awe of its sheer beauty and majesty. The endless river of ice glistening under the sun, framed by snow-capped peaks, created a breathtaking scene that felt almost otherworldly. Despite its immense scale, there’s a remarkable sense of peace and tranquility here — the kind of silence that makes you pause, breathe deeply, and truly appreciate nature. The hike along the glacier was equally incredible. The trails are well-marked, offering stunning panoramic views at every turn. Walking high above the valley with the glacier stretching out below was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and the variety of landscapes along the way — from rocky ridges to alpine meadows — made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty, serenity, and an unforgettable adventure, the Aletsch Glacier is a must. It’s not just a hike, but an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Visiting the Aletsch Glacier is an unforgettable experience, where the largest glacier in the Alps stretches before you in a breathtaking scene. The combination of towering mountains and the endless icy expanse makes you feel the true power and beauty of nature at every step. It is a perfect destination for hiking and photography lovers, offering unique panoramic views that will remain in your memory for years to come.

Magic. Uou can get from the car parking by cable train, it cost ~50chf both ways per adult. Then you have another cable train to go to the top for 24chf one way (return they suggest to come back on foot 1.5h) We went the second part on foot both ways. Amazing views, take more wather as the hike is not flat and you will be exposed in the sun. When you are in the top i recomend to have a trekking on a trail that is parrarel to the glacier to enjoy the view. Very good experience and enjoy it while it lasts, as its melting rapidly.

First is a breathtaking destination that offers an array of outdoor adventures and stunning vistas. Nestled in the Bernese Alps, it serves as a popular hiking hub where visitors can embark on a scenic 5.5 km trail leading from First to Grosse Scheidegg. This easy trek takes about two hours and showcases rolling meadows alongside magnificent views of the Jungfrau massif, making every step worthwhile.
This mountain is a gem. It's an amazing place to be and just sit and watch the cows, the bees and the paragliders. I advise to go up by cable cart / furnicular and go down by hike. You could go even further up to the top but we didn't do that. Unfortunately there was a long line for the mountain carts so we went back by cable cart.

Season summer/ Perfect for hiking and viewpoints, a lot of cows. Approximately 25 minutes the cable car route. Winter Jacket, and sunglasses too 😅. But be careful. If you want to do extra activities there, you have to be there early because at 14:00 there was a waiting list of 150 , 190 minutes ..

We arrived at First Grindelwald around 3pm hoping to try some of the rides, but unfortunately they were all sold out except for the scooters, which we decided to skip. We still went up the gondola though, and it was worth it for the stunning views and the First Cliff Walk experience. To really make the most out of your gondola ticket, I recommend visiting earlier in the day or booking your rides online in advance so you don’t miss out like we did. The place is absolutely beautiful, but be prepared—it can get really crowded even on a weekday.

Expensive but also very beautiful scenery. Cost almost $200 U.S. dollars for two people. Cable car ride is 25 minutes and you can hike to the lake or do the cliff walk. I spent about a total of 4 hours here including the cable car ride.

Really nice place there also if you want to save up some money and not go to Jungfraujoch. The only “problem” is the weather and from what I’ve been told from people that work there 50% is good weather 50% is bad weather and foggy. Not that it’s a big problem . It was still really nice to me! But the view is much more clear obviously and you can definitely appreciate the beauty of the mountains all around in 360 view without the foggy weather :-)

Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum

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.

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.

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.

Mount Pilatus

Mountains
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.

Highly recommend!

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland — Mount Pilatus truly feels like being on top of the world!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Titlis Cliff Walk

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Bridges
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.

An absolute must do!! 2 cable car rides, a Glacier Cave and then the cliff walk across the suspension bridge. You can also pay for the IceFlyer This was an amazing day. The restaurant downstairs is not that good though

What an incredible experience! The rotating Rotair cable car is as cool as everyone says. The 360-degree views on the way up to Mount Titlis are stunning and ensure everyone gets a perfect view. The summit is a blast with the cliff walk, glacier cave, and endless snow. It can get crowded, so go early, but don't miss this. An absolute highlight of our Swiss trip.

We visited Switzerland in October during the weekend. Reached Switzerland friday night and started our journey to titlis early morning 7AM as we need to travel from Bellpark hotel(Luzerne) to titlis(engelberg). Cliff walk is walk on the cliff. Can see the attached photo from titlis. So it's easy. Just 2 mins walk. Cable car, Glacier curve, Cliff walk, Open cable car, Zip lining, Paragliding, Trubsee lake (last) after completing all the above. Boat surfing in trubsee lake.

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!

Titlis is a renowned mountain destination that boasts the world's first cable car, providing access to a skiing area, suspension bridge, and glacier caves. The area also offers a variety of dining options, including cozy fondue restaurants and Italian eateries. Visitors can enjoy the panoramic views while dining at the Panorama Self-Service restaurant. Additionally, there are accommodation options such as the Spannort Hotel & Restaurant in Engelberg, which provides easy access to Titlis and other attractions in the area.
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!

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.
Lake Lucerne, Switzerland 🇨🇭💙 Lake Lucerne is truly one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland, just next to Lake Lungern in terms of natural beauty. The crystal-clear water, the surrounding mountains, and the peaceful environment make it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Whether you’re walking along the shore, taking a boat ride, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery — it’s a place where you feel calm and refreshed. A must-visit spot if you’re touring Switzerland with family or friends. 🌿🏞️

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole of Europe, in my opinion.

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.

The shimmering blue waters, snow-kissed alpine peaks, and storybook villages nestled along Lake Lucerne’s shores.

Schöllenen Gorge

Ravine
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.

Nestled in the heart of Vals, 7132 Hotel is a contemporary and stylish retreat offering an array of amenities. Indulge in unadulterated culinary experiences at Red, where timeless classics like crepes Suzette are flambeed tableside. The hotel's luxe spa boasts quartzite walls and offers rejuvenating treatments like the highly recommended deep muscle massage. While some find the rooms a bit small, they appreciate the welcoming team and creative cuisine at Silver restaurant.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel 7134 in Vals, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the stunning architecture and the serene surroundings. The hotel seamlessly blends modern design with the natural beauty of the Alps. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt right at home. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking views from my balcony. The hotel’s spa facilities were a true oasis. I enjoyed relaxing in the thermal baths, which were both rejuvenating and tranquil. The on-site dining was also outstanding, with a delicious menu that showcased local ingredients.

I had visited many hot springs hotels in Japan, but this Swiss thermal hotel was very different experience. It is mixed thermal bath with bathing suites on which is major difference than the separated bath/private bath in Japan. The water quality was amazing and you can actually feel its healing power. The hotel is set in a beautiful valley and the hotel rooms are beautiful designed with gorgeous view(not very comfortable and guest friendly though, like any other design over functional situations). The Silver restaurant is a must do where the food is amazing and you get to spend 10 minutes snack time inside this Michelin two stars restaurant, meet the chefs see how they create. Though the hotel is bit remote but they offer limousine for 100 CHF or helicopter for tens of thousands dollars.

Truly a special place that I dream to return time and again. The waters and the facilities, designed by famed architect Peter Zumthor, are close to a spiritual experience, calming and quieting. I’ve stayed in the luxurious penthouse, which is designed by Kengo Kuma, truly expensive but worth it for special occasions, and in various rooms in the House of Architects—these are compact but much more reasonably priced and special with the vibes. The on site restaurants are magical, including the formal restaurants at Red and the elevated Silver whose teams are truly artists. The spas, the front desk, and the concierges trolly go above and beyond to make you feel special, as they have for me each time I’ve stayed. Can hardly wait to return as soon as I’m able.

Great place for ski, although a lot of flat parts which is can be annoying for snowboarders. Breathtaking viewes, good slopes preparation, snow cannons are in operation. Second half of season n February-March gives nice opportunities for free ride and a lot of off-piste routes, earlier snow coverage is not enough. Only disappointment - you can buy ticket only online where only two payment types are accepted - wish that they enable PayPal and other wide-spread options (limitation due to corona, last year it was possible to buy ticket at place)

Small resort with one stop services in main drop off cable car station. Themed with movie and films interior decor. View is amazing during our visit where sunshine is abundant. Would suggest for more experienced skiiers compared to novices. Main entrance is humble and nested amidst the small boutique hotels. Will be great if they can have clear directions from main road so that first timers can find way easily.

As a Colorado (U.S.) native, I'm not going to say that the skiing/ snowboarding was great (very packed, icy terrain & thats why I say 4 stars) 😅 but the views more than made up for that. We also just happened to go the weekend of the final smowboarding qualifier for the '22 Olympics, so the atmosphere was AWESOME! I'm not sure if it was a special occasion or its always a party, but the building at the top of the mountain was such a DOPE vibe with a DJ and absolutely amazing sound system 🙌 The weather just happen to be very warm & sunny, so our favorite part was drinking a beer and listening to great music, soaking up sunshine & enjoying the breathtaking views. It was the best part of our Switzerland 🥰. I can honestly say that we'd come back to Laax if we get another chance to visit 🇨🇭 P.S. This resort was recommended to us by a friend of ours who's a German native. He says he usually snowboards in Austria, but if he were to be on Switzerland, he would choose Laax.🤷🏼‍♀️ Hope that helps!

BUT the content inside is amazing ,so many pretty fishes some big and ugly ,the ocean recreations in small tanks is incredible ,it's like watching a small part of the deep ocean just in front of you ! It's very large ,it even has a kinda glass tunnel where the fish ,sharks and even sea turtles can be seen crossing above you ! So cool! The entry for wheelchairs is easy there is a large ramp but some parts inside have stairs might be difficult to move ,dunno if there is someone who helps or alternative rout at the end there is a gift shop with plushies and other stuff also is where the nature museum is just go up the stairs and you will be at that museum ( yes in the gift shop)

Pretty cute aquarium mostly designed for children, with a sad 46 year old Carp and sea turtle. The natural history exhibits are informative. And you can walk across the Swiss border for a snack along the shore.

Nice place to visit with the kids. It's not the biggest aquarium but nicely put together and interesting. The tanks were nicely decorated as well. Parking was a bit crowded but not very expensive.
Jens J — Google review
Buy tickets before. Too crowded, even though they work with time slots. Very good for small kids, not for adults. The app with animal recognition doesn't work well. It's announced as in German and in English, but only German is available in the app. Bistro is good! All text is only in German!

Disappointing. It is so overpriced for the variety of species you can see there. There is nothing special at all. It’s so small and that I really couldnt believe that was all. Doesn’t make sense to drive if you live far away. And definitely not worth the price you pay. You can visit much better places for this price.

If you are with little kids, it's the perfect place to spent a couple of hours.

perfectly presented aquariums, large variety of species, interesting lecture about penguins, small museum about nature
Ari F — Google review
I had an okay experience at the aquarium. While there were lots of fish to see, I felt bad for the penguins because their space seemed quite small. It was also pretty loud with so many people around, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was nice to see the variety of marine life, but I wish the conditions for the animals were better.

Aescher - Guesthouse on the mountain

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Guest house
Inn
Mountain cabin
Aescher - Guesthouse on the mountain is a charming 19th-century inn located at an elevation of 1,454 meters on the mountainside, offering stunning panoramic views of the Swiss countryside. The guesthouse provides a picturesque setting for a day trip, with breathtaking landscapes and affordable, delicious food. The young couple managing the restaurant are friendly and enthusiastic about sharing their travel experiences.
We did a day trip from Zurich and hiked all the way up from ground level – an amazing and rewarding experience! The trail is fairly steep in places but well worth it, with beautiful spots to rest including a lake, forest chapel, hilltop chapel, and even curated cave exhibits. The restaurant itself is perched dramatically on the cliff – totally unique and with absolutely stunning panoramic views. Food was super fresh, healthy, and surprisingly delicious given the remote location. Great service too. A fantastic reward after the long hike – unforgettable!

A spectacular place to visit. Food at the guesthouse was wonderful. The hike down from the cable car was about a 20 minute walk. The climb back up was challenging for us seniors. A 350 meter vertical challenge with no hand rails on the upper 2/3. A good portion of the path was very rocky with hot wires for the grazing cows on both sides. For such a popular spot, it's too bad the walkways aren't in better shape.

Hiked down from Schafler and stopped for a drink and snack. Both were delicious and excellent service. Around 10 am was just starting to get busy. Also had a very cute gift shop but as we were hiking the next two weeks we could not afford to carry any additional weight.

Great food and fantastic views. Worth the hike up. Come in fall to sample the seasonal venison and dark lagers. The house whiskies and cheeses are also delicious. The accommodations are lovely but a bit cold at night.

Came here early for breakfast at 8AM and there were already a few people, but was still able to grab a table. I ended up getting the breakfast choice but without any of the meats. Also added the warm brownie with vanilla Ice cream. Both were good and a great way to start my hike up to Schafler Ridge. Service was friendly and quick. They also accept credit cards.

From the Ebenalp station, we hiked down for around 20 minutes, passed through a cave and arrived in this charming chalet by the cliff. Service was super - friendly staff. We were lucky it was very sunny the day we went. View is amazing.

I am very disappointed with my stay in your hotel. We had three rooms and each one had serious issues: • First room (4 guests): there were no shampoos. • Second room: there were insects, the water was cut off in the morning, and at night there was something disturbing in the room which made it hard to rest. • Third room: it was clearly not used for a long time. When flushing the toilet, brown water with a bad smell came out several times until it turned clear again. The shower was broken, and the bathroom window could not be closed. When I reported these problems, one of the staff called the hotel owner. He was very polite and kindly offered us free breakfast. However, the staff themselves treated us in a very unpleasant way: • They kept staring at us with uncomfortable looks. • They approached our group several times in a rude way. • One of them told us not to eat a certain food. • And when we were leaving, she said: “I hope you enjoyed eating for free.” So while the owner was polite, the staff’s behavior was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. This made the whole experience much worse. I truly regret staying at your hotel and I will make sure to share this terrible experience.

Bernina Express

Mentioned on

Tours
Mountain cable car
Scenic Railroads
The Bernina Express is a renowned panoramic train journey that takes passengers on a breathtaking ride through the Swiss Alps and into Italy. Departing from either Chur or St. Moritz in Switzerland, the historic red train climbs to impressive heights, offering unparalleled views of Italian and Swiss mountain ranges, glaciers, and picturesque landscapes. The route includes crossing 196 bridges, including the spiral viaduct of Brusio, and traversing the Bernina Pass to Engadin.
The most beautiful train ride I’ve been on! The train has really big windows so you get a better view of the landscape. We went from Chur to Tirano, it was about 4 and a half hours. The train goes at a relatively slow speed so you get to take in all the views. Definitely book your tickets and seats ahead of time.

It was amazing experience for us. We went from St. Moritz to Tirano. The train has panorama windows and the driving is very comfortable and gentle. The views are breathtaking. I highly recommend everyone to try Bernina express.

Great experience. From chur to Tirano take the Right side for more view. Both sides are great but the major attributes can be appreciated at the right side (from Chir to Tirano). Something that I don't know was that they offer a gift (a mini carrier with chocolate hearts and a beverage tea).
Dr. C — Google review
Absolutely incredible! No words to describe the beauty of Alps throughout the journey from Chur to Tirano. This Bernina express is unique and definitely a must try lifetime experience.
Abdul B — Google review
This was the best train journey I’ve ever experienced. I went in first class but space and seats are probably the only difference between the two classes. The views are just stunning! You go over mountains, fields, glaciers I could just keep naming things. Around the end (if you are going from Tirano to St Moritz) you can get off at the highest point for pictures and a coffee. The staff are super friendly and always try to make your journey pleasant. This exhilarating ride takes about two and a half hours (if you again are going from Tirano to St Moritz). I highly recommend going on the right side as you get more amazing panoramic views though both sides are great. It is best if you book in advance although upgrades are sometimes available on the day. 5 stars.

Beautiful experience! I traveled today in 1st class from Chur to Tirano — it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The landscapes were breathtaking, the train was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere very peaceful. However, the Wi-Fi link didn’t work, and unfortunately the toilet in 1st class was out of order, which was a bit disappointing for such a premium journey. Other than that, everything was lovely — I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy one of the most scenic train rides in Europe.

We travel to Milan for our vacation, but noticed that there is such a cool train track, Bernina Express. So we decided to try booking the entire trip via Klook. This turned out to be the best decision we made in this trip. The mountainous and forest view along the train route is so beautiful, breathtaking and stunning. Please see the photos and vedios I uploaded. Don’t think too much, just book and go. There are many ways to do this, please look up more detail in Google or Youtube. Highly recommend to go. It’s a MUST in your life time.

One of the best trip we've ever made, a must for any couple despite it was far from our hotel (3 hiur to reach it) but it worth ever minute. On time, good value for money and refreshing. Not easy to book online, you should buy the ticket, then "separately" the seat !

Arosa Bergbahnen offers an unforgettable experience for both skiing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nestled in the stunning Swiss Alps, this destination provides excellent skiing opportunities with well-maintained slopes that cater to all skill levels. Visitors can enjoy a seamless journey on their efficient cable cars, which depart every ten minutes, whisking you up to breathtaking heights where panoramic views await.
Magical trip up to Weisshorn. I recommend you to take the ca le car to middle station, see the bears and then continue up to weisshorn. It was a spectacular view. The cable cars departure every 10 min and the trip up is just a few minutes. Only downside is that the last cable car down was at 17.30.
Maycoll V — Google review
The ride up and down was great although we were unfortunately at a time when some rain was moving in and didn't have much of a view. You do go by the bear habitat but even the weather wasn't good enough for them to come out and play. The Jägertee at the top was warming for the chill outside.

We are an instructor from Kyrgyzstan. This year we were lucky enough to be in Arosa. We learn here everything they have. Proper skiing is one of the most important. Arosa provided us with the practice of the same day on 15 days. They have booked us free accommodation, meals, free skiing, all equipment. I'm very grateful. Thank you so much !!!

Lünersee

Lake

Bodies of Water
Lünersee, located in the Austrian Alps, is a breathtaking destination for couples, families, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. It is one of the largest lakes in the Eastern Alps and offers a variety of activities such as hiking, climbing, fishing, and swimming during the summer. The turquoise jewel of the Alps sits at an elevation of 1,970 meters and boasts a picturesque setting at the end of Brandnertal in Vandans.
Beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. It is quite touristy though, you won't be here all by yourself. There's a nice hike you can do around the lake but don't underestimate the hike, definitely doable but not flat all the time. Would recommend taking the cable car and if you have the time you can explore A LOT more hikes around the area of the Lünersee. There's a nice hiking map overview in front of the cable car end station at the Lünersee.

Was a bit disappointed. Got there when they have drained the lake. Besides that amazing hike, and nice scenery. Do check the state of the lake before going there

A Perfect, Picturesque Stroll in the Alps Title: An Absolutely Stunning and Accessible Walk I recently did the easy 7 km loop around the Lünersee and it was the highlight of our trip to the Vorarlberg region. This isn't a strenuous hike; it's a breathtakingly beautiful walk that is absolutely perfect for almost anyone looking to enjoy the Alpine scenery without a major climb. The convenience starts with the Lünerseebahn cable car, which whisks you up from the valley and drops you right at the edge of this stunning, turquoise lake. The path is wide, well-maintained, and almost entirely flat, making it ideal for families with children, casual walkers, and even trail runners. The 7 km distance felt just right—long enough to feel like a proper outing but short and easy enough that we could take our time, stop for countless photos, and simply soak in the views. The colour of the water against the backdrop of the Schesaplana massif is something you have to see to believe. We were lucky with a clear day, and the reflections of the mountains in the still water were incredible. We completed the loop in just under two hours at a very leisurely pace, including stops. There's a great alpine hut, the Douglass Hut, perfectly positioned for a drink or a meal with a view partway around. In a nutshell: If you want an unforgettable Alpine experience without the sweat and effort of a major hike, this is it. Scenic, easy, and utterly rewarding. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Tips: Bring a light jacket as the weather can change quickly at that altitude. And don't forget your camera! Rating: · Scenery: 5/5 · Difficulty: 1/5 (Very Easy) · Family-Friendly: 5/5 · Value: 5/5

5/5 – Stunning and Serene! I visited Lünersee in Vorarlberg this September, and it was absolutely breathtaking. It happened to be the first snow day, which added a magical touch to the entire experience. Taking the cable car up was smooth and the views were stunning. The combination of sunny skies and fresh snow made it a perfect day for a peaceful walk around the lake. If you’re looking for a serene spot with incredible mountain scenery, Lünersee is a must-visit. Highly recommended!. The restaurant there is so delicious !!!
David M — Google review
Amazing. You can hike from the car park. Its an easy hike or take the cable car. At the top there is a nice restaurant. Unfortunatly it was very windy and the forcast was also not good so we decided to not to the whole hike around the lake.
Andrea — Google review
What a gorgeous lake! Hiking around it is about 2 hours and it is a very relaxing and easy hike. If you start from the right side after getting off the lift, you will face a bit of uphill towards the end of the hike but nothing difficult. Pretty flowers you can enjoy all around the lake, mesmerizing incredible colors of the water, and diverse shapes of rocks you see all around. One of my favorite lakes in the region!

Its really a beautiful place for a short trip if you want, you can make it longer by climbing up the mountain, but just the lake is absolutely beautiful
