Switzerland Travel » Voices of Travel

Switzerland is one of my top 3 favorite countries in Europe.

I first fell in love with the country when I was working in Barcelona as a tour operator, creating travel itineraries for travel groups. Switzerland was one of the countries on my list for which I was creating packages and communicating with local partners.

And that’s when my Swiss story started. I left Barcelona and my job when I needed a change… packed my backpack and set off for a month of adventures in Switzerland. I lived with a local family on a cheese farm above Brienz, overlooking the Swiss Alps.

Afterward, I explored all the places on my Swiss bucket list that were for so long only on the paper travel itineraries created for my clients.

Switzerland then became my home for 3 years. I lived in 3 different locations (Grindelwald/Interlaken, Flims, Davos) and worked in Switzerland in hotels at the front desk and as a concierge, recommending activities for the guests (+ improving my German skills).

Besides, I traveled extensively through the country, exploring many places and writing articles for you.

I’ve reflected on my love for Switzerland and travel/life experience in the country in all my articles. So you can choose the right places for your Swiss trip and have unique experiences.

Travel Passes For Switzerland

My rule of thumb when traveling to Switzerland is to have a travel pass. It has various advantages:

👉 gives you flexibility
👉 includes all types of transportation (trains, buses, boats, cable cars)
👉 saves you a lot (on transportation & activities)
👉 you can explore the entire country

Swiss Travel Passes are a great way to explore Switzerland (if you don’t have a car). My tip is to avoid paying for single tickets and get a pass instead.

Best Time To Visit Switzerland

Some months are better than others to enjoy the whole Swiss experience.

When planning your trip, remember that Switzerland has shoulder seasons, during which many businesses have a break or are closed due to maintenance.

Jungfrau Region & Bernese Oberland

Switzerland consists of 26 cantons (parts & regions).

Bernese Oberland and the entire Jungfrau region are some of Switzerland’s best places to visit.

They’re everything that you picture Switzerland to be: green meadows with mowing cows, snowy mountains with impressive glaciers, rivers running through the valleys and waterfalling falling off steep rock cliffs, and crystal-clear Swiss lakes.

If you don’t know where to go, Jungfrau region with Bernese Oberland is your best bet.
