This
place is one of my childhood favorite of all times. For a long period I have
been dreaming to travel to Swiss and thanks God I had the chance to visit this country.
After Italy our next destination is Swiss, and once again we decided not to go
to the capital of the country. We preferred to go to the more nature place
which is Lauterbrunnen! And one of our goals is
to conquer the top of the Europe, Jungfrau J From Pisa in Italy we
need to drive further up to the north about 6 hours passing through Milan (we
will come to you next time) and crossed the border Swiss-Italy.

Zurich? Maybe next time :) |
If you are considering traveling by
train from any place in Switzerland (or neighboring country), you may take
international train connections to Interlaken; there are several direct trains
- others connect through Bern or Spiez. Exit at the Interlaken West or at the
Interlaken Ost Railway station, depending on your train, or location of your
accommodation, or further travel plans. When traveling to Interlaken from
either Central Switzerland (Lucerne region) or from the Lake Geneva region
(Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux), please consider getting on the scenic train
Golden Pass.

So for the whole 6 hours journey from Pisa to Lauterbrunnen was filled up with spectacular view and we really really wound
up when we reached the Interlaken region. The scenery of Lake Como and Lake Lugano
cought our eyes and I think view was fantastic and incredible! Interlaken is
captivating and a must for every Swiss visit! The small town between the
cristal-clear lakes of Thun and Brienz is surrounded by Alpine pearls such as
sparkling streams, fantastic falls and extraordinary mountain scenery including
the famous peaks of the Eiger, the Moench and the Jungfrau. From the Interlaken
it took like half an hour more to go to our stay. We didn’t stay at Interlaken
because we had another plan; to make things more amusing tonight we decided to
sleep in a valley in between gigantic snow-cap mountains with waterfalls in
front of our place; Lauterbrunnen J

Purposely we stopped here in the middle of the road to capture the nice view of Alps |
The
next morning we have a full day to explore the Alps and of course conquering the
Jungfrau. It offers all the visitors an awesome view as we take the cog railway
up into the mountains to the summit of the Jungfrau Mountain (3454m), a scenic
journey taking about 1 and half hours. Whilst at the summit beside the
incredible views you can explore the ice palace, and if the weather is fine try
your hand at skiing or enjoy a ride on the flying fox (Remember to bring your
sunglasses, jacket and suitable footwear if you are planning to venture into
the mountains). But for
those not taking the excursion to the Jungfrau you can visit the unique
Trummmelbach falls (10 amazing waterfalls in a cave) or hike the many trails
of the mountains.

memorable vacation. I think for us this place was fantastic and worth every
penny. You will find that, not only the nature and scenery but the people the
food and the air will make you smile all day long J
