Recommendations

If you have time, consider visiting the Rhine Falls or taking a scenic train ride on the Glacier Express. For side trips, consider visiting Gruyères or Montreux. To maximize your fun, book activities in advance as some popular attractions may sell out quickly. We recommend bringing comfortable shoes for hiking and warm clothing, even in the summer, as temperatures can drop in the mountains. Have a great trip!
