[Switzerland] 5 Must-Try Experiences for Your Trip to Switzerland

If you're visiting Switzerland, make sure to experience these five things: Hiking: Switzerland is world-renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes and stunning alpine scenery. Surrounded by Switzerland's famous peaks, walk to the hidden alpine gems like the turquoise Blausee and Oeschinensee (also known as Lover's Lake) while listening to their poignant or romantic legends. This is a quintessentially Swiss experience. Don't miss the Zermatt Five Lakes Hike, the Aletsch Glacier Hike, or the trails in the Jungfrau region (such as the famous Route 33 from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengernalp and the First to Bachalpsee trail). Also, check out the hiking route to Berggasthaus Aescher, the cliffside restaurant recommended by National Geographic in 2015. Scenic Trains: Iconic routes like the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, and the GoldenPass Line, along with the Jungfrau Railway and Gornergrat Railway, are essential for soaking in the views. Each offers a unique perspective of this fairyland paradise that will leave you in awe. Cable Cars: Take a ride on the Titlis Rotair (the world’s first 360-degree rotating cable car), the open-top Stanserhorn CabriO (costing 900 million TWD), the record-breaking Stoos funicular (2.4 billion TWD), or the 2020 Eiger Express (1.7 billion TWD). The high-tech, robotic-style cable cars at Schilthorn and the breathtaking Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix are also must-sees. Drink Rivella: Known as Switzerland's "national drink," this unique whey-based soda is a local treasure you won't find anywhere else. It has a flavor profile somewhat similar to Vitali, with many varieties available—the classic red label (original) is the fan favorite. Savor Traditional Cheese Fondue or Raclette: Swiss cuisine is all about cheese! These two dishes are so iconic that your trip isn't complete without them. Also, try the "Swiss National Dish," Rösti (Swiss-style hash browns).

Just a few minutes from the 2,000-meter viewpoint, you'll get a close-up view of the Bernese Alps and the Eiger cliffs. The highlight is the First Cliff Walk, a thrilling cliffside walkway offering breathtaking panoramic views. It's also the starting point for the walk to the crystal-clear Bachalpsee Lake, a one-hour walk away. For thrill seekers, there are activities like ziplining, mountain carts, and trotti-bikes, offering both leisure and adventure-oriented experiences in one place. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #TravelAbroad #BeautifulPhotoTourism #NatureTherapy

Experience of Visiting First Mountain

Our family was filled with anticipation for this trip to First Mountain, as we had been planning it for a long time. Thanks to purchasing the Swiss Travel Pass, we received discounts on cable car tickets and various activities, making our journey more economical and worthwhile. First Mountain is renowned for its stunning natural scenery and diverse outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for adventure lovers like us. As we rode the cable car up the mountain, the view outside the window left me in awe. The peaks glistened under the sunlight, and the clouds floated in the sky, seemingly adding vibrant colors to our journey. The cable car ascended slowly, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly spectacular, lifting our spirits. Upon reaching the summit, our first choice was to try the mountain carts. Although time was limited, we decided to focus on this activity and were not disappointed. Driving the mountain cart, I felt an unprecedented sense of freedom. The wind rushed past my ears, and the picturesque mountain scenery around me was mesmerizing. Along the way, we even saw leisurely cows grazing on the grass, enjoying the tranquility of this land. It felt like playing an exhilarating mountain cart game, filling my heart with joy. The experience was incredibly fun! Every sharp turn and acceleration heightened the excitement. Competing with family members, none of us wanted to back down, and this joy made me forget the worries of daily life. Even though we only tried one activity, this experience left me deeply satisfied. If we had more time, I would definitely try other activities like paragliding and mountain biking, which are popular attractions at First Mountain. I highly recommend visiting First Mountain! The variety of activities here caters to visitors of all ages. Whether you're an adventurous thrill-seeker or a traveler looking to quietly enjoy nature, this place has something for everyone. The magnificent mountain views, fresh air, and thrilling activities ensure unforgettable memories for all who visit. In summary, First Mountain is not just a feast for the eyes but also a cleansing for the soul. This trip deepened my love for nature and made me cherish the time spent with my family even more. If you're planning a trip to Switzerland, don't miss this beautiful destination—First Mountain will bring you a unique sense of joy!

If you go to Switzerland, you must do some activities!

If you take the gondola from Grindelwald to First, there are fun activities!😆 Riding a mountain bike down while enjoying the beautiful scenery is twice as fun!🚵 If you go to Grindelwald, Switzerland, I recommend going to the top of First, looking at the lake, eating a light snack, doing activities, and seeing the beautiful scenery. #EuropeanTravel #First

Absolutely in love with Mount First – so much more than just snow views.

I honestly thought that First in Switzerland was just one of those mountains where you take the cable car up, snap a couple of photos of the snow, and head right back down. But oh my god, it was an absolute blast! The scenery is unbelievable, the grass is ridiculously green, and the sky was a clear blue when I visited. But the absolute best part is that there are so many fun things you can do on the way down. I tried the "First Glider" (you hang in a harness and soar through the air, a bit nerve-wracking but so much fun!) and then I rode a Mountain Cart down the mountain. Cruising right past alpine meadows and cows with those massive snow-capped mountains in the background was absolutely incredible. It does cost a pretty penny with all the lift passes and activities (Switzerland isn't exactly known for being cheap, haha), but it was honestly worth every single cent. If you want a day that’s more than just "taking in the views," you definitely have to check this place out! 🚠

Jungfrau

Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe is one of Switzerland’s most spectacular mountain destinations, offering an unforgettable experience high in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by magnificent snow-covered peaks, vast glaciers, and breathtaking alpine scenery, the journey to the summit is an adventure itself. The panoramic views from the top are truly mesmerizing, especially on a clear day when the mountains seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. Walking through the snowy landscape feels like entering a winter wonderland. The impressive Aletsch Glacier adds even more beauty to the experience. Jungfraujoch is a must-visit destination for travelers who love mountains, snow, photography, and extraordinary natural landscapes.

Lake Brienz

The last boat from Interlaken East Station to Lake Brienz was at 15:07, and when we went there, the boat had just left. The staff taught us to take the bus to Brienz, and then catch the boat at 16:40, and take the boat from Brienz back to Interlaken. We bought a second-class Swiss pass, which allows free boat rides. There are not many seats in the second-class cabin, but there are more open-air seats. If you are afraid of the cold, you can get on the boat earlier. I sat in the restaurant at first and thought I had to consume, but after sitting for a while, I realized that there was no mandatory requirement.

Jungfraujoch Train Station

It only takes 45 minutes to get from Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch by express train. You can also enjoy many beautiful views along the way. The Jungfrau Railway was planned in 1893, and it was not until 1912 that the highest railway station in Europe was finally opened. The construction cost a total of 16 million Swiss francs. So it is understandable that the price at the entrance of Jungfraujoch is so expensive.

Titlis

Engelberg-Titlis is a breathtaking alpine paradise that stole my heart! The panoramic views from the rotating cable car are absolutely unforgettable. From snow-covered peaks to thrilling glacier activities, every moment felt magical. The Titlis Cliff Walk offered an adrenaline rush with stunning scenery. Engelberg village, with its charming vibes and cozy cafés, added a peaceful touch to the adventure. Whether you're a nature lover or thrill-seeker, this destination is a must-visit.

The experience was great. The little car went up and down, and when you got to the top, it was snowing heavily. It looked really cool. The prices at the cafe in the attraction were also reasonable. It was so peaceful to have a cup of coffee while watching the snow fall.

Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory

As long as the weather is good, the scenery in Switzerland is amazing. There are fewer tourists at the Sphinx Observation Deck than at the Glacier Plateau, and the wind is not as strong, but the scenery is no less beautiful, and you can experience the beauty of the Jungfrau in 360 degrees. The snow-capped mountains floating on the sea of clouds are really shocking. I always have altitude sickness when I see snow-capped mountains in China, but I don't have any reaction here, which is also magical.

Ice Palace - Jungfraujoch

The Ice Palace is located 20 meters below the Jungfrau Observation Deck. This glacier tunnel consists of cave-like rooms and halls with interesting crystal clear ice sculptures of various shapes. At the end of the Ice Palace is the Jungfrau's outdoor observation deck.

Schilthorn

I wanted to go to Jungfraujoch, but the weather was bad. It was foggy and hard to see clearly. I took the train and then the cable car. I was a little disappointed. Of course, the scenery should be beautiful when the weather is clear.
