    I always look forward to your vlogs dropping! our trip to Zermatt is coming up quickly and I am feeling the last-minute push to lock down train passes, day trips, etc.! I just purchased your Zermatt Itinerary and am excited to delve in and make my train choices and restaurants picks already, LOL. thanks so much for doing what you do! oxox

      Same here. We are headed back in April and hope to book a place in the vineyards.

    Alexis I’m with you on the prudishness. I’m American as well and I’m often “surprised” by the lack of modesty when it comes to one’s body in other parts of the world. We will be experiencing all things Switzerland in August 2024 and soooooooooooo looking forward! Your videos have been so invaluable.

    Thank you for the very informative video and a special thanks to Louis. Thank you for pronouncing the place names in the original as a French Swiss. I'm very interested to hear how the names are actually pronounced.

    I like the ability to take day trips from a "home base," so you don't have to pack up and move hotels everyday.

    I have loved Montreux since I was a child visiting relatives in Fribourg. Pity there's no mention of Every and Les Pleiades but such a wonderful itinerary.

      You can see alot of christmas markets, and Montreuxs is one of the best. You should also absolutetly do the "Bains de Lavey", its like a geant spa openair.

    What’s the likelihood of the cable cars in glacier 3000 operating late December?
    I play to visit here on a day trip from Geneva and would attempt to go if they’re working.
    I’m hesitant to fork out a small fortune on tickets for a day trip if they’re not going to be working

    • @TheTravelingSwiss
      @TheTravelingSwiss  Před 6 měsíci

      they’ll work ! It’s a popular ski destination they are well equipped for snow

  • @gunnertete9308
    @gunnertete9308 Před měsícem

    I like your recomendations, but hotel Fermont is 730 CHF per night in June. I wouldn't recomend at this price. Only few people can afford this.

    We love your presentations though you are a very fast talker. We miss half of what you are saying and that is too bad since it must be great info.

    • @TheTravelingSwiss
      @TheTravelingSwiss  Před 9 měsíci

      I assume you’re talking about me (alexis) and if so, it’s the New Yorker in me!! I have to actively think about slowing down

    • @lesliegoa
      @lesliegoa Před 3 měsíci

      Plus the background music is so distracting. But otherwise your videos have great content.

    Hotels fairmont overpriced better hotels for far less. Jazz festival has become way too commercial especially with the hundred stalls that appear for every festival thru out the year. The town units self is boring. The lakeside promenade is superb. Walk to castle return via lake boat. Walk the lavaux interesting terraced vineyards
