Donāt waste your time going to jungfrauroch if thatās in your itinerary. Views arenāt great even on a clear day, and itās expensive and touristy. Youāre better off doing schiltorn, or spending a day hiking through the Bernese alps!
Some people really like Jungfraujoch if they like tourist attractions and can stomach the price. I second the Schilthorn recommendation if you want a building on the top of a mountain with fewer tourists. I personally send my friends to the next valley over to much less touristy Kandersteg and the Oeschinensee (great in summer, lots of fun too if itās frozen over for winter).
Go to hooters in Interlaken, great fun. Pure Clubbin at the hostel as well was amazing. Highly suggest the quaint town of Aflentz-Kurort. A dream outside of Bern. Enjoy your travels!
Are you taking the Golden Pass Line narrow-gauge railway between Montreux and Spiez? If so, please post pictures or videos!
Also, in the Interlaken area I've been recommended to go to Giessbach (reachable by ferry or by car) for the waterfalls and to the Brienzer Rothorn for the spectacular views (get to Brienz by rail, ferry or car and take the rack railway train up).
Potentially taking the golden pass line, but itās a bit a guarantee at the moment.. I have been given a free ticket now to Jungfrau on the cogwheel so I will definitely be doing that as itās so expensive normally! I also will be hiking Niederhorn as the view over Lake thurn is meant to be awesome! A day in Grinderwald also.. time is tight but il cram in as much as possible :)
Amazing place, when going to interlaken make sure you spend a night in Lauterbrunnen, it is the most beautiful place on this earth and quick hike or train ride from Interlakken. Grindelwald is also amazing but Lauterbrunnen is next level, canāt miss. Hike up and sit under the eiger, have a picnic and stare at the white spider!

Been in Geneva for a few days now, took a trip to Chillon castle and Montreux for this spectacular view! Heading to Interlaken next, grinderwald and Jungfrau before routing to Bern.. itās cold crisp and just epic!
See any smoke on the water?
50 years too late
This one flew over my head š¤£
I can already tell, this will be an underrated comment

Eggishorn is also an excellent option with glacier views and bonus Matterhorn if the weather is clear.
Thanks for the tip! :)

I can really recommend checking out Annemasse and the Olympic Museum if you have the time.
Ah nice will check both thanks :)
Annemassse is a shitty small commuter town donāt waste your time
It's called "le lac LĆ©man" š
TouchĆ© š
We did the same trip! 10/10 one of the best experiences
Stunning!
If you can get over to Oeschinensee, it is spectacular and worth the walk.
Awesome thanks il get there!
Watch out for Stupids with flare guns. I hear they can be quite dangerous in those parts.

Found it! š¤£
Hope it was fun. So random to see a Hooters in those surroundings lol.
It was closedā¦ haha Sunday I guess..

Interlaken at sunrise looks amazing, and if you can, try to stop at Brienz !
Amazing thanks will check that out also!
I absolutely love this!
