2026 Switzerland Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

I love Switzerland for its quiet beauty and timeless elegance. It feels like a country painted with care—snow-capped Alps rising into clear blue skies, emerald lakes resting peacefully between mountains, and villages that look as if they belong in a storybook. Every train ride offers breathtaking views, where nature unfolds gently and perfectly. Switzerland is more than its landscapes. It’s a place of balance—between tradition and modern life, calm and adventure. The cities are clean, graceful, and full of culture, while the countryside offers peace and reflection. Whether it’s walking beside Lake Geneva, exploring the old streets of Lucerne, or listening to cowbells echo through alpine meadows, Switzerland has a way of calming the soul. It’s a place where time seems to slow down, beauty feels effortless, and every moment feels pure and unforgettable. #travel #switzerland

To be honest, traveling alone made me a bit anxious, and I was especially worried about running into trouble: unfamiliar places, language barriers, safety issues... After much thought, I decided to join a group tour so I would have someone to look after me and not feel lonely. I spent a long time researching and comparing various reviews and itineraries. My biggest fear was encountering a "shopping tour"—forced purchases, being dropped off at the attraction entrance without tickets, and not being allowed to leave without buying something... That would be such a scam. Fortunately, my efforts paid off, and I finally found a pure leisure small group tour that I was super satisfied with. The 13-day itinerary had lots of attractions but the pace was just right—not rushed or exhausting. There was no shopping or hidden costs throughout the trip; it was purely for fun. I gained so much along the way. The tour leader’s photography skills were amazing—every shot looked like a masterpiece! Plus, our leader was young and fun, and there was no generation gap with the other group members. We laughed and joked every day, creating a very relaxed and happy atmosphere. Even though I came alone, I never felt lonely. Instead, I made a bunch of like-minded new friends, which was really heartwarming. What impressed me most was the attention to service details: the tour leader was super responsible and solved any problems immediately; when we wanted to spend more time at an attraction, he never rushed us. It was clear he genuinely cared about us. 📌 Some practical tips to share: 1. Beware of low-price traps: If you see ads saying "just over 10,000 RMB for more than ten days, staying in five-star hotels, and a small group," don’t hesitate—run away! It’s most likely a big scam. They might drop you off at the attraction entrance and not let you in without spending money, with many shopping stops waiting for you afterward. 2. Choose small groups whenever possible: Avoid large groups of 50 or 60 people! Too many people means wasting half an hour just getting on and off the bus. Groups of about 20 are perfect—more flexible and a much better experience. 3. Must-bring packing list: - A thermos cup that can be heated (for instant noodles; most hotels in Italy and Switzerland don’t provide free hot water, France is a bit better) - Sunscreen (UV rays in Europe are strong, apply generously!) - Umbrella - Sunglasses & hat (for sun protection and great photos) - Foldable down jacket - Waterproof jacket (best for rainy days, windproof and waterproof) - Disposable change of clothes (for a multi-city trip of over ten days, hotel laundry isn’t always available) 4. Bottled water is quite expensive in Italy and Switzerland, costing around 15-20 RMB per bottle. In Switzerland, you can buy cheaper water at Coop supermarkets. ✨ To sum up: Switzerland is incredibly beautiful—you won’t regret coming here! Although I only had four short days this time, it wasn’t nearly enough haha~ I’m already planning to come back with my besties for a deeper trip and will definitely book with this tour company again—they’re really reliable. There are some details I can’t recall right now, but I’ll add them later. I hope this gives a little encouragement and help to those of you still hesitating about whether to go ❤️

Honestly, the Jungfrau is so breathtakingly beautiful it makes you want to scream! Sunlight glistens on the eternal snow, making the entire mountain look like it's draped in a golden veil, dazzling to the eyes✨ The mountain soars straight into the clouds, towering and majestic. Looking up at it, you might find yourself completely mesmerized. But the scenery at the foot of the mountain is a whole different story. The lush green grass is as soft as a carpet, and colorful wildflowers bloom freely, exuding a natural charm. The entire scene feels like a masterpiece casually painted by nature itself🌼 At the base of the mountain lies a crystal-clear lake, so reflective it resembles a mirror. The blue sky, white clouds, and snowy peaks are all mirrored in its surface, making it hard to tell what's real and what's a reflection. In the distance, a few rustic wooden cabins are scattered across the landscape, quietly blending into the scenery. It feels like stepping into a secluded fairy-tale world, completely detached from the outside world🏡 This place perfectly combines grandeur and gentleness. A visit here will leave an unforgettable impression for a lifetime. If you're traveling to Switzerland, don't miss it!

#Register for August Hotel Sleep Tester 2025 On the way from Interlaken to Zermatt, I saw this Restaurant Bärgji-Alp while brushing the map. I didn't know that the road up the hill was so difficult to drive. The gravel road alone was still very narrow. I really wanted to turn around and leave in the middle But when I arrived I was really stunned! The restaurant is hidden halfway up the mountain, surrounded by Alpine snow-capped mountains. The snow-capped mountain scenery in front of you is so beautiful that it looks like a P-out background wall. Any photo taken is a wallpaper-level screen (Figure 1259 has a video to prove it!) I thought this kind of restaurant with a beautiful view doesn't taste good, but it's unexpectedly good! First time trying Swiss cheese fondue (Fondue), with small potatoes and bread slices to eat, not as much as imagined, against the snow-capped mountains "gurgling" so hot pot, happiness directly burst ~ Also ordered the specialty omelette bacon cheese toasted bread, the savory intertwined mouthfeel is amazing! Dessert apple crisps with cream is superb, crispy and fluffy with a faint milky flavor, refreshing and enough ✨ 📍Address: Bärgji-Alp 570, 3925 Grächen, Switzerland Although the road is difficult to open, this snow mountain feast is really worth it! Sisters who go to Switzerland can rush ~
