Lauterbrunnen & Swiss Alps

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.

Lovely view from our stay
Very cozy coffe shop; befeore heading to the top of mountain

We took the train to Murren before started our trekking to Jungfrau

Say bye bye to the Great Alps
All in all Swiss Alps is the most suitable place for any couples who wanted a 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
