We’re visiting this June! Your videos have been so informative! Looking forward to visiting with all your inputs
Thank you, we hope you have a great trip!!
Going to Switzerland first two weeks of September. Just starting the planning. Your videos are extremely helpful. In fact I am only watching yours. Original plan is arrive from U.S. in Zurich and take train to Bern right after landing (I know, long day!). Two nights in Bern, then two in Zermatt, two in Grindelwald, two Lucerne & 1 in Zurich before we fly out. Love the videos but everytime I watch one I start thinking of changing the trip up. Was going to rent a car but now decided to go everywhere by train. If it matters, while we're in fairly good shape (especially my wife) still I am 70 & my wife is 63. Does this itinerary sound reasonable?
Thank you guys so much for all of the super valuable info.
You're welcome!
So excited about my trip and this was fab❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great trip!!
Go to Paleo, Montreux and Lausanne!
We’ve been to Montreux and Lausanne a few times, just haven’t been able to film there yet! We’ve actually been all over this country, but haven’t had the capacity to film everywhere…one day 🙃
Doing a 3 day stop in the Jungfrau region with my wife and 2 teenage daughters..this wasn't even on our list but all of us now can't wait to do the open top cable car ride. I've taken an Air BnB in Wilderswil (also on advice from one of your videos) - hoping to be able to fit the Wengen-Mannlichen trip into the same day we're planning to do Pfingsteff flyline, toboggan run and the glacier gorge. Stop showing us all these awesome things! :)
You might wanna stop watching unless you want your trip to become longer and longer! :) So glad we can help - hope you enjoy the open air cable car ride!!
The Swiss train passes are ridiculously complicated, but your videos are a HUGE help. Thank you! But the SBB Mobile app is hands down the greatest train app ever!
Thank you for the information. My wife and I will be traveling to the Jungfrau region this June. If I purchase the Berner Oberland Pass, how do I add it to the SBB app so I can get the discounts and free rides when I purchase train tickets? Thank you for any help you can provide!!!
Can infants be accompanied in the Flyer ?
Hello Jana and Brett, Thanks for your detailed videos. just one clarification, How to use the Berner Oberland Pass. What i mean is we can directly go, show the pass and take a seat or we have to book a ticket before ? Also, will i get a physical or virtual BO Pass?
Travelling there from Malaysia with my young family for the first time later this year. Appreciate your videos and I would even buy a guide if our currency wasn't so weak
Don’t ride on a 1st class train carriage if your ticket clearly says 2nd class. 😂
please how can one be able to put up a good writeup for tourism cause have not done it before like the number of weeks or months that we make sense and the places for one to say he or she wants to visit and the time flame for each of them
Hi would you recommend getting a peak pass? Planning to stay 4 days in zermatt. TIA
Point 2 seems slightly incorrect. Intercity tickets are cheaper if purchased the SuperSaver tickets in advanced.
Hi I just bought the half fare card from your link and received the voucher.Do I still need to bring the voucher ti ticket center to get the half fare card or is the voucher all I need plus the actual train ticket to present to ticket inspector? Thanks
Ha! We saw that car stuck on the stairs at the Interlaken station two years ago. Epic fail.
Just to let you know: "Bündnerland" is a tourist trap. There is absolutely nothing authentic or traditional or swiss about that place. And eating a "Flammkuchen" there is like eating a "Poutine" in a place called "NY Pizza" in L.A,
It must be about 42-years since I was there. I remember the train stopping for everyone to get out and look through the glass windows half-way up the tunnel part. Thank your for your video it brings back some good memories.
No 17 😳. I'm glad I watch this video. Thank you for all the tips
Great Video. But I do want to ask, can you get all your tickets for your family thru 1 SBB app, or each passenger has to buy their own in their own app? Also, can we get the FREE tickets thru the app for children <15yrs old?
Yes, you can add co-passengers on the SBB app and keep everyone on one account. You also add whether or not you have a travelcard so you can take advantage of that discount.
You mentioned toilet fees, but have you made a more comprehensive video about what kind of places a tourist needs cash in Switzerland? We are travelling there this summer and this information would make planning the trip much easier.
Super helpful video. Thank you
hi I'm looking for the video you did about the budget for staying one month in Wilderswill(?) Watched it a long time ago and can't find now.Can you help? thanks it was quite an informative video.
I'm going to Switzerland this September & i was not sure which pass to get. This vid is loaded with great info. Thank you so much. Appreciate it very much
Great information to note 😍👏🏼. Will keep watching your info blog about Switzerland . We will be in Switzerland in three months time.
Wonderful! I hope all of our resources are helpful as you plan your trip! 😊
Will there be snow in July on gonergrat? Do we need to get winter clothes?
Is the train from Lucerne to Grindelwald Terminal covered by Berner oberland pass? Thank you 😊
Yep, it is!
Hello Sir, From last few days, we are watching your CZcams channel and getting valuable knowledge regarding travelling to Switzerland. Sir, we are planning to visit in June for 4-5 days and likely to visit jungfrau , interlaken and train visits of Bernia Express. We are staying at Zurich. Can you please suggest which travel pass we prefer like “Half Pay Card “ or “Swiss Travel Pass”. Thank You in advance 🙏🙏

Some great advice here - especially for those who don’t regularly get trains! I have to say that they are excellent for waiting for everyone to get on and off the trains - the staff were very kind to my aunt who had limited mobility on our last trip.
That’s so true! The staff do care about helping passengers and making sure everyone can board on time 😊
👍💯💕
I'll be in Zurich in 2 days and then I'm going to Lauterbrunnen. Can you really switch trains in 6 minutes?
Yep, it’s totally possible! Just follow the signs from one platform to the next 😊
You guys really helped me make my solo Swiss trip so easy, enjoyable! Your transport video, (being in the right carriage etc) visiting the swiss alps, etiquette and cafes (the eiger bean was BRILLIANT) I binged on all your videos without you guys I would’ve been the biggest noob and feel lost. Thank you - thank you - thank you! 🎉 you are guys are AMAZING 🤩 P.S the Swiss railway is amazing - how easy it is to travel and the SBB app was so easy to use! (I did buy the Swiss half fare card!)
Did your half fare card show up on the SBB app?
@@bethkaiser9288 for some reason it didn’t. So I always kept my PDF opened everytime there was a ticket inspector on the trains. Because they will ask for it 😊
Thanks for the reply! I was all signed in when I purchased it, but mine isn’t showing up either. I wanted to make sure I didn’t do something wrong before I purchased passes for the others in my party! Thanks!!
Aww so so so glad our resources we so helpful during your trip!!! And you can load the Half Fare Card onto the app. We have a screenshot tutorial in our Ultimate Guide to Swiss Transportation!
THANK YOU
You’re so welcome 😊
tHANK YOU.
Very helpful. I will be in CH in 2 weeks.
Enjoy!!! 😊
Do you push the door button to request a stop right after leaving the stop before or wait until you get closer to your stop?
You can wait until the train departs the previous stop and the. starts moving toward your stop 😊
Well guys map.. u r right. We wanted to go and see Oltschibachfall. Our map took us all the way up in residential area. I was kept on saying to my husband its wrong and he goes map is telling us. He never listened when we ended up to a no way😂😂😂
Uh oh! Yeah you can’t trust Google maps to drive you the right way here!
Lol not putting feet on the seats, my kids did so many times as they get tired in the evening after long day of hiking and going around
Now you know to encourage them to keep their feet on the ground 🙃
Hey Guys, when we buy berner oberland pass, for the train Brienzie Rothorn train do we still need to book seats? Last year we couldn't ride as he said we need to book the seat in advance for that day and he didn't have anything available during our pass availability😢
Seat reservations aren’t required for the Brienzer Rothorn so you should be able to show up and wait in line. I’m not sure if you can reserve in advance, but you can check their website!
@@AplinsintheAlps just because i didn't reserve the seat on the day, online they didn't let me ride. That day got wasted. We were very upset
You have made the very best videos! I have so appreciated all the free info! Lol. I would live to know something about living in Switzerland. Would you guys be willing to do that?
Thank you. You’re so kind! We’re grateful to live here (thanks to dual Italian citizenship!) 😊 and to run our business here too!
All your videos have been SUPER helpful while planning our upcoming Switzerland vacay! 2 questions I have ran into: Does the Half Fare Card show up in the SBB app? I purchased it and received an email with a QR code but am not seeing anything in the SBB app. I have a sign in for the SBB app and the SwissPass site. Do we need to verify our ID (on the SwissPass site) in order for passes to show up on the app?
You can add the Half Fare discount to the SBB app, and you don’t need to create a SwissPass account. We have a detailed tutorial with screenshots in our Ultimate Guide to Swiss Transportation!
"Saver Day Pass" it covered large amount of directions, and various transports: trains, buss and water-transport. But not to all, high mountains directions. Simpiliciese, can tell, that ticket works in areas where living a population. If You want "go" out of "living zones", You need a purchase additional tickets, to "clear touristic" destinations. (Pilatus; Schiltorn; Jungfraujoch; e.t.c) This SBB transport system, not a simple understood, but every individual voyager, need working own homework and some hours or days read a info in SBB home page. Thanks, for autors per info about "seat reservation". SBB only recomended take a seat reservation. ( I not understood, can I choose every free seat place, in own class of carriage?)
Yes, as long as a seat isn’t reserved, you can sit there! Seat reservations are posted above the seats near the seat numbers.
@@AplinsintheAlps Thank You very much per answer! 😊👍 Frequently I usare a Italo treno, but in Switzerland after some days i been first time. This is a new adventure... 🤔 (This information shows near seat number, with higlighting it, or in diferente mode ?)
Im living in Australia and we don't have non of the issues you've mentioned, all are crystal clear. I will be in a holiday in Switzerland soon and already realized the booking train tickets and other info is a fucking mess, unfortunately.
Switzerland tourism NEEDS to acknowledge you as a major asset! We are currently traveling through Switzerland based upon your advice, and it is going so well!
You’re so kind. That’s awesome that you’re having a wonderful trip! 😊
Hi - Nice train ride! I'll be in Montreux for the Jazz Festival in July and can't find any information on how to use the Montreux Riviera travel pass. There's lots of websites listing the benefits of having it, but none on actually how to use it. I'll be staying on the heights above Montreux overlooking the lake and traveling by train down to the city each day, and back in the evening. The Riviera pass is supposed to give me free travel by the trains, busses and reduced fare on other activities. Nobody explains how to use it. To I put it in the SBB app somehow, or simply show it at time of boarding? If not the app, how to 'flag down' a train such that it stops at my train stop so I can get on?
