Swiss adventures (contd..)








Next two days, we scoured Interlaken; or should I say Switzerland. Our hosts were kind enough to provide us a local transport pass. (tourists- focus only on the rail pass, don’t get conned into pre-book local transport passes remotely through your devious agents - almost all hotels/ Air BnB will provide this free of cost.). They say to see Switzerland, flock to the trains. Right they are; for we North, South East or West. You can get anywhere to anywhere in a couple of hours.

Touristy pressure means that you will have to go to either to Jungfrau or Mount Titlis are a must. So off we went to Mt. Titlis.

It is a picturesque ride in the train, with lake Breine and lake Lucerne (try to camp here; as against more expensive and commercialized Interlaken).

At Interlaken - not to be missed: the rail up to the top

Our recommendations:
 
  1. Harder Klum:
The affordance and convenient ride on an aging Funicular (gear train) is a great experience in itself. The ascent is startling and the fact that this simplistic machine does it many a jerks may get you anxious enough.
The view from the top is something to die for. Pictures say better.

  1. Any small town outside Interlaken
The lake is a good sight; but we fail to see the charm (and expense) of Interlaken. Should one rather fan out to the surrounding villages? Cleaner, cheaper? Any small village Lake Breinz, Sarnersee, Lucerne? If anyone is up for the adventure.
