UK Study Abroad | Swiss Travel Guide (6 days 5 nights)
🇨🇭The long-awaited Swiss travel diary is finally here
We flew directly from Paris to Switzerland, the airfare is cheap and very convenient, those who can adapt can choose to play in two countries together🫡
Although the title is 6 days and 5 nights, we arrived quite late on the first day, which is equivalent to a 5-day itinerary👀
The general route of this trip to Switzerland is: Geneva➡️Zermatt (Matterhorn)➡️Grindelwald (First⛰️)➡️Interlaken (Paragliding🪂)➡️Zurich➡️Lucerne (Rigi⛰️)
🌟Day1–6.5–Paris✈️Geneva
Arrived in Geneva in the evening, the airport seemed to be in a state of no one, just follow the crowd to find the bus stop!
‼️About transportation💰: You can directly purchase from 💚"Swiss Railway SBB" (💚 payment available), choose "Swiss Travel Pass" which can be used for all transportation in Switzerland during its validity period, and some scenic spots can enjoy half price discount with Swiss Pass (Matterhorn, First Mountain...)
When we bought it, there was a discount, buy 4 days and get 1 day free, perfectly covering the whole itinerary, those who have plans can check in advance whether there are recent activities😎Taking the train at any time saved a lot of time and energy
🏨: Hotel Admiral (8, rue Pellegrino Rossi, 1201, Geneva)
This hotel is very cost-effective, with breakfast, close to Geneva train station, and there is Chinese food nearby
🌟Day2–6.6–Geneva🚅Zermatt
Woke up in the morning and went to lunch!
🥣: Jingyan (special Sichuan cuisine, and many star photos)
The consumption is at p13, the price doesn't seem as scary as the legend, it's about the same as London! The taste is also good😋
📍Flower Clock➡️📍Jet d'Eau➡️📍Lake Geneva
The above three attractions are almost together, walking aimlessly along the lake, it's really comfortable, Lake Geneva is very very clear, you can sit/lie by the lake and waste time🥹
I love drinking and watching the lake observing the human vibe🫶🏻
📍Old Town Citywalk
Depending on the time, I wandered around the small shops, bought some souvenirs, but didn't go to the church (I'm already immune to European churches🥲)
📍United Nations Palace of Nations🇺🇳➡️📍Broken Chair
The Broken Chair is opposite the United Nations, you can check in and take photos, the United Nations should be able to make an appointment for a visit (those who want to go in can find out)
🥣: For dinner, we chose the Swiss specialty cheese pot🫕
Les Brasseurs (right next to Geneva train station, very convenient)
The taste is good, only a little bit smelly, with potatoes🥔 it's quite fragrant, but it's a bit greasy if you eat too much. The pork chop is also good with 🍟🥗, they also have a Chinese menu👏🏻
After dinner, we took the train to Zermatt😼 (about 4h in total)

Harder Kulm : TOP of Interlaken🇨🇭
Harder Kulm is a mountain at 1321m, located above the tourist town Interlaken.
Getting there: Take the funicular from Interlaken (East) to Harder Kulm where you’ll have panoramic views of the Bernese Oberland. The ride is about 10 minutes and costs more or less 25 CHF for a return ticket.
Restaurant: You can enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner in the panorama restaurant. The price is surprisingly cheaper than of the City. Eat fondue with a view😆❤️
Once you’re at Harder Kulm, you can look down onto Interlaken and the surrounding lakes.

Soaring Above Interlaken: My Thrilling Paragliding Adventure
I can hardly put into words how amazing my trip to Interlaken, Switzerland was.
The natural views were absolutely stunning - I found myself constantly in awe of the towering mountains, lush forests, and sparkling lakes that surrounded me.
And then there was paragliding - what an incredible experience! Flying above the landscape, feeling the rush of the wind and the warmth of the sun, was an adventure that I will never forget.
Overall, my time in Interlaken left me feeling inspired and invigorated, grateful for the chance to experience such natural beauty and excitement.

Alps Scenic Train
#switzerland One of the greatest train rides in the world, the Goldenpass trainfrom Interlaken to Montreaux brings you along magnificent landscapes. Staring from rolling hills, the train climbs into the tall peaks of the Alps, visiting charming towns like Gstaad.
The train ride lasts around three hours, and passengers will be rewarded with magnificent views of snow, grazing cows, tiny charming villages and much more. From Montreaux, lake Geneva beckons with stunning views across the water. #alps #snow #couplestrip #love #mountains

At the top of Harder Klum!
This was taken at the top of the Harder Klum! We went up in the late afternoon via the vertical train up! It take roughly about 20mins to travel all the way up! Be sure to take the bottom row seats to ensure a Birds Eye view while it’s moving up!
It was breathtaking to see the 2 lakes and interlaken in between! Definitely recommend if you haven’t visit! A must do! 🥳 #harderklum #interlaken #switzerland

Interlaken at its finest
I would say that it was one of my best holidays I’ve ever had. Waking up with an impressive mountain sceneries and lakes, walking down to the crowded yet peaceful streets, and sipping a hot chocolate with a cold breeze and turquoise water are some of the reasons why I want to go back there.

Interlaken is one of my most favourite places that I have visited. The scenery there is so spectacular with snowy alps, Lake and town. As I was there during the fall season, the weather there made it even more enjoyable. Another memorable aspect of this trip was that I travelled there alone which I never thought I could did it. Finally, it was here that I got to try out pumpkin soup. It was so nice even though I didn't like to eat pumpkin on its own.
Interlaken is a Swiss town and municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern. It is well known for the Swiss alps and lakes.

Interlaken is a lovely small town where the tourists who want to travel to the famous alps must stop by as their base. It is so beautiful and peaceful here.

Interlaken Casino
Beautiful casino in Interlaken which I’ve been seen in Bollywood movies since young. We can also spot the statue of the late famous Indian director who was appointed as the tourism ambassador for this town.

Beautiful train ride from to Interlaken
Interlaken is a traditional resort town in the mountainous Bernese Oberland region of central Switzerland. Built on a narrow stretch of valley, between the emerald-colored waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it has old timber houses and parkland on either side of the Aare River.
Trains to the Jungfrau region in the direction of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen with connections to the railways to Mürren and from there to the Schilthorn as well as via the Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch depart from the Interlaken Ost railway station. Thus many tourists usually choose Interlaken as the base to explore the surrounding areas.

Harder Kulm is a nice 2.5 hour hike to the top of Interlaken. There are two main trails with small branches and shortcuts . If you want real Swiss mountain and lake scenery you must do this. In the middle of Interlocken, between the two lakes. The Harder Kulm is just incredible and offers the most amazing view of Interlaken.

St Beautus hidden treasure
Beautiful caves in breathtaking scenery The cave system is very impressive and beautiful. There are plenty of hand rails but good non slip shoes should be worn. It can get cold inside but we were comfortable with a light top and jeans. The walk down to the bus stop was very steep but again just take your time and use the hand rails. There are plenty of seats to sit on along the way. We enjoyed our trip to the Caves and all slept very well that evening.

Interlaken
here is more charming and quiet than a city like Zurich. A wooden idyllic cottage with a modern touch in quaintness. This English town walks around, small and beautiful, with a sense of paradise.
This town is most looking forward to me in addition to the paragliding experience, this luxury hotel, Victoria Jungfrau, this hotel is full of artistic decoration and quiet and service, reminiscent of only rich Victorian era in which people can travel

Swim in "God's Eyes"
Walk in Switzerland to experience the beauty of the world. Among the more than 1,500 lakes in Switzerland, the most important thing to miss is the Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, known as the God's Eyes.

Alpine Wonders: Discovering Interlaken and Its Scenic Surroundings 📷
Interlaken is one of Switzerland’s most popular travel destinations. The town is nestled between two lakes and surrounded on all sides by mountains. 🏔️
Days could be spent in this small Swiss town as it’s an excellent base to explore the surrounding attractions. Here were my favorite locations on my 2 day Interlaken mini-break:
1️⃣ First Cliff Walk and surrounding hikes - Take the 30 minute train ride to Grindelwald and then take the gondola up to the First Cliff Walk. There are many hikes with spectacular views on top! Be sure to check the gondola operating times if you don’t want to walk down! 🚡
2️⃣ Rosenlaui - This one is a little bit further out but it’s definitely worth it! Take the train to Meiringen and then take the bus to Rosenlaui. The benefit to being slightly harder to reach is the lack of tourists!
3️⃣ Brienz - I made a stop at Brienz on my way to Meiringen because I read online it’s home to the most beautiful street in the world. The town is small and quaint and definitely worth checking out.
4️⃣ Lauterbrunnen - Another unmissable stop and located about 25 minutes away from Interlaken. The village is quite walkable but be sure to check out the surrounding hikes. When you’re done, take the train up to Wengen for spectacular views of the Lauterbrunnen valley below. From Wengen, you can take the gondola over the mountain and down into Grindelwald at the other side.
Helpful Tip 💭: Switzerland has an excellent transport network, but it’s pretty pricy. It’s worth investing in the Swiss rail pass if you’re going to be there for an extended period. I opted for the half-fare card as I was in Switzerland for only five days. It meant I could use all transport in Switzerland for half the price. Check it out!
