When you visit Luzern, be sure to allow time to just take a stroll and enjoy the sights of the city. As in nearly all European cities, the place of interest is the Old Town (Altstadt).

One of several famous scenic rail journeys in Switzerland is the Golden Pass. The express from Luzern to Interlaken. Interlaken is a stepping off point for the high alps.

After visiting Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn, Mt Pilatus may seem small at a mere 7,000 feet. But that doesn’t mean that the trip isn’t worth doing.

Lauterbrunnen nestled at the bottom of a valley between the two largest mountains in the Swiss Alps. On the left side is Jungfraujoch. On the right side is Schilthorn.

After planning to scale the heights of the alps at Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn, we felt the need to balance that with a broader view. A Swiss Alps Day Tour seemed ideal.

High above Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland is Schilthorn at 2970m. The summit is well worth a visit but so too are the picturesque villages below.
