This awesome couple helped me plan a great trip to Switzerland last summer. I highly recommend their 1 week guide (worth the small fee) plus the videos to help you plan your trip.
We recently returned from a 7 day Vacation in the Jungfrau Region. After watching dozens of your videos I was able to get the Half fare Travel Card and the Berner Oberland Pass, which turned our to be such a huge saving for us. It also allowed us to be very flexible with our itinerary and even change our plans on the fly, if needed. I felt more confident traveling and planning our destinations because I followed many of your advises from the videos. 7 Days was not nearly enough and we can not wait to return in a couple of years. A big thank you from Me to You!
My spouse & I just spent 7 Nights, 8 days at Jungrao Region from July 7-14, July 15 headed to Zurich for our return flight to Toronto, Ontario Canada. Thank you both very much as you were the source of my research before visiting this place. watching this now, this place is no longer foreign to us, as I can now relate with every thing you suggested and places we are now familiar and been to. You both are awesome. God bless you both.
I visited Switzerland this week and you took all the guess work out of train tickets, how to get to Jungfrau and so much more. Thanks so much for all the great tips! Had an incredible time and wish I could stay longer!
Wow, that’s fantastic! We are so happy to help simplify the planning and equip you to travel with confidence! And we truly hope you get to come back and visit again one day 😊
Good time to come, less people, good weather, most rides still open. You'll probably use trains and cable cars a lot which means the HalfFare (aka. HalbTax) pass is a no-brainer: 50% off of all transportation, valid for 1 month, costs IIRC 120 CHF.
Thanks so much for the video and all your guides, they were so helpful for our trip. Funnily enough, we actually saw you both while we were on our bus. It was one of the days we were there near the end of December. We had just finished hiking near Niederhorn, and I think you guys were picked up by the Hotel Luegibruggli Restaurant? We wanted to thank you guys for your guides, but I'm sure you were as busy as we were that day. Thanks again! Looking forward to visiting again in the Spring time, hopefully! That way, we'll get a chance to go to Schynige Platte and the Harder Kulm.
We would have loved to meet you! If come back in the Spring and see us, please say hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to tell us that our videos and guides are helpful.
We can’t wait for our first trip to your area, and we’re hoping for an Aplins sighting! We’ll be trying many of your suggestions, so thanks for all the video work.
Just returned from an 18- day visit to the Jungfrau region. Followed your recommendations and had a totally great time.! Thank you very much for all the videos❤. Planning to visit again in spring😂😅
I agree that of all the wonderful walks and places in this area the Männlichen is not to be missed and would put it number one. I’ve been to this area many times and still haven’t seen it all, maybe because there are so many pretty spots I revisit. Planning on seeing Giessbach Falls and Schynnige Platte this September. Adding the Northface Trail to my bucket list. Thanks for showing all the fabulous views.
You’re right, Männlichen shouldn’t be missed! We live here and also feel the same way, that we still haven’t seen it all 😊 Enjoy Giessbach, Schynige Platte, and Northface trail when you come visit next!
We spent 5 days in the Grindelwald area and 5 days in Ticino last June. We enjoyed the Berner Oberland area so much that we’re headed back again in September for 10 days. Your videos have been such a great help with things to do, places to eat and how to navigate the area. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to do some more exploring! P.S. the cinnamon rolls at the secret bakery were amazing! We’ll definitely be visiting them again, probably more than once lol.
So glad our videos have helped you find your way around the region and (more importantly) discover the BEST cinnamon rolls! We hope you enjoy your time here in September.
Love your videos! We are heading to interlaken in June 2024 and cannot wait to try these spots! I’ve been binge watching your videos, and love your personalities 😁
We watched all of your videos about the Jungfrau region after we booked our trip to Switzerland. Thank you so much for all of the great advice. We stayed in Wengen and we found that buying the SBB train tickets a-la-cart to and from Zurich plus the Jungfrau Travel Pass for the days in between, kept us entertained throughout the week. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the great videos and the info in your emails. We will be visiting the Jungfrau region and Lucerne the first week of October. You have given us so much info on the areas! I'm hoping that will be a good time to visit.
Your videos are truly incredible, and this one is a gem!! I’ve visited Switzerland countless times in the last 2 decades, but have never hiked the Northface trail, so cannot wait to do it on my visit this June😀 Your videos and guides are my number one go-tos for trip planning! Keep up the awesome work!! ❤
Awww, thank you, we’re humbled that our resources are your go-to!!! 🥰And even though we live here, we still find so many new things to do too! Enjoy the Northface trail when you come later this year! 😊
Ah, this was THE BEST video I’ve seen so far for helping me decide what to do in one day in the Jungfrau Region. We will be staying in Murren as part of a small-group tour and will have most of the day to ourselves to explore. We start the day out with our group at the Schilthorn eating breakfast and exploring the Schilthorn, and afterward have the rest of the day to ourselves. Plan? Birg thrill walk, do the 2-hour Northface Trail hike mentioned in this video, do the cogwheel train to Schynige Platte, and rent some e-bikes to explore the valley before ending our long day of exploration back in Murren. Jan and Brett, does this plan sound doable? Or have I crammed too much into one day in the regions. We cannot do everything, but I do want to decent mix and am willing to have it be a long day.
How fun! Well, we actually have a 1-Day Guide to Mürren in our shop - because if we only had one day in this area, we’d spend it there. However, we think you can do the Schilthorn and Northface trail and EITHER Schynige Platte OR ebiking, but you likely won’t have time for both. (Especially since Schynige Platte is about 1.5 hour journey 1-way from Mürren!) Have the best time here - we hope you absolutely love it!!!
@@AplinsintheAlps Thank you so much for that tidbit. I do have your guide to Murren (as well as quite a few of your other guides) and it’s great. We are very excited about our upcoming trip. Who knows, maybe we might even bump into you while we’re there next August.
Thanks for sharing these videos..planning a trip in 2025 with my family..are there any restrictions in flying drones up in the mountains and the lake area? Thanks.
When is the best time to visit this region? We are not interested in winter sports, adventurous activities or too much hiking. We will be there for the scenery, gondolas, scenic trains, lakes and short hikes. Please advise.
Hi Aplins, may I know if there’s closure period for grindelwald-kleinschneigg-mannlichen? Am I able to access the hiking trails, planning to visit first week of May.
Hi, @aplinsinthealps Do you know anything about current impacts to the Schilthorn and Birg thrill walk? I have heard they are partially closed for construction.
That’s true, but it depends on the work they’re doing that day. The Schilthorn website has updated construction info, or you can ask in the Schilthornbahn station!
Your videos are so helpful, thank you! I saw you took the Gotthard Express from Lucerne to Lugano via the steam train with a day saver pass, do you recommend that over just paying for an extra day on our Berner Overland pass to get us to Domodossola? Our end destination is Venice. Not sure if the Gotthard is worth the extra money considering the day saver plus the reservation price. Thank you!!
We really enjoyed the Gotthard Express! BUT, it would make for a really long day if your end destination is Venice. I think we'd recommend the fastest route in this case.
I love all of your videos! I am still a little confused about which travel pass to purchase for our trip to Switzerland, actually leaving tomorrow. We’re a family of three. We will be staying in Zermatt for 2 nights, 4 nights in Interlaken (we’ll be visiting the Top of Europe and Jungfrau region) and 3 nights in Zurich. Hope you could help! Thank you!
Hey there! I intend to visit in the coming march. Can I clarify if these attractions are open? Especially those train rides! Hope to get some answers for our planning!
Good question! March is still part of the winter season and most of the transportation is open. But it's a different experience of course. The biggest ones that won't be open are Schynige Platte, Pfingstegg, and Harder Kulm. And the via ferrata isn't open yet either. Hope this helps!
You mention a bench in Murren. Can you tell us where that actually is? I would like to stop there when I go in September. Thanks. Awesome videos, thanks for all the information and referrals. You are the best couple with Jungfrau and Lauterbrunnen region info.
Not sure which bench you mean, but there's a great one at Allmendhubel and another on the trail above the village of Gimmelwald (you'll have to hike up to this one!)
@@AplinsintheAlps It's at 7:29 of the video. I think it's the one above Gimmelwald. You're videos are great and very informative. I've watched a ton of them. I'm going to Switzerland in September for 10 days. I'll be purchasing a guide from you soon to start planning. Thanks for all the info.
Ah yes! You can get there by hiking past the Sprutz Waterfall from Mürren and then continuing down to Gimmelwald. Or if you're in Gimmelwald, you can just walk up the street above the village to reach it.
@@AplinsintheAlps Thanks. I found it on Google maps. I just bought your jungfrau region guide. Can’t wait for September and to see the beautiful valley and mountains. I’m hoping for great weather. Thanks again. Love your channel.
The Royal Ride only holds 4 people?.....Any advice on how soon before the trip you need to book it?.....Those tickets should be gone immediately when they become available....Right?
Hi there! The Royal Ride can usually hold more than 4 people, but it looks like this coming Summer is the first time you'll be able to buy those tickets online. No word yet, unfortunately, on how soon you'll be able to do so - keep checking on their website! www.maennlichen.ch/en/summer/experiences/royal-ride.html
If you had to pick one or the other to visit in the first week of October, Jungfrau region or Lucerne region, which would you choose? We're two couples in our 60's and active. We only have about 2 or 3 nights available in Switzerland. TY
If staying in the area for a week and there are things to do on either side of the valley..you think it’s a good idea to split time in murren and Grindelwald?
We do generally think a week in Mürren might be a bit long unless you just plan to hike the whole time, so a split could be a great choice! We actually made this video comparing 7 different villages in the Jungfrau Region to help you choose where to stay! ua-cam.com/video/4CR9oGeWw6I/v-deo.html
How fun! They won't be frozen, but there might not be a whole lot of water in them. If we have an early snow that melts, they can look nice, but it's better to expect them not to be too full.
You guys are awesome and Your videos are so organized and super helpful. We wanted to do mid May in this region as we prefer less crows but now contemplating waiting for another 2 weeks as we are travelling with young toddlers and wanted them to enjoy the parks but cable cars to Mannlichen / Aalmendhubal open in June I believe. My understanding is that Mannlichen may open earlier than Aalmendhubal so pls let me know if is worth moving the trip all the way to mid June just for Aalmendhubal or if there is a way to visit Aalmendhubal earlier than that ?
I request you to make video on jungfrau region winter guide line, like things to do, what is open and close, and how to make it budget friendly 🙏🏼 If you have already please enlighten me Thank You 😊 🙏🏼
Hi there! Be sure to check out this video if you haven't already, because it sounds like exactly what you're looking for! ua-cam.com/video/4CR9oGeWw6I/v-deo.html
Hey Aplins! I've watched lots of your videos. I am planning a honeymoon for my fiancee, and me. I am trying to figure out the optimal time to go to Murren, to find bright, sunny days with some flowers beginning to bloom and the contrasting, snow-capped mountains? I am thinking May 1 to 30... would that be a good time?
We sell digital travel guides and think those work great for most people (aplinsinthealps.com/guides). Otherwise, we're not aware of any private tour guides, though there are lots of individual tours available on Get Your Guide: www.getyourguide.com/?partner_id=6Z1XS4Y&mkt_cmp=true
There are dairy farms all over the place here - Interlaken, Wilderswil, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, etc. You won't be able to miss them! (But there aren't any tours, but you might be able to meet the farmer if you see them!)
How can I go to the secret bakery where there’s the best cinnamon roll?😅 I saw it’s in a city near Interlaken, but is there any bus or train to let me there?
Haha, love that you wanna try those amazing cinnamon rolls! You can find the bakery pinned on our map here: aplinsinthealps.com/swiss-food-near-interlaken-switzerland-what-where-to-eat-free-map/
Ragazzi, dal 22 luglio al 6 agosto 2024, io e i miei due amici, compagni di escursioni montane, vecchierelli come me, torneremo per la terza volta a Grindelwald per soggiornarci stavolta due settimane piene e fare tutte le escursioni ,da quelle intorno a Grindelwald , lo jungfraujoch e il monchsjochhutte,ma anche allo Schilthorn, a Interlaken…ed anche una gita a Lucerna. E non vediamo L ora, perché noi amiamo e conosciamo bene tutto l arco alpino, italiano, svizzero, francese ed austriaco…ma Grindelwald come Zermatt e Chamonix, sono i nostri luoghi che amiamo di più.😊
@@AplinsintheAlps Grazie, di sicuro….quella zona la conosciamo benissimo…saliremo in treno da Roma e sfrutteremo l unlimited jungfrau summer pass 2024 così potremo muoverci ovunque con tutti i mezzi che ,anche questi ,conosciamo molto bene. E colgo quindi l occasione per farvi i nostri migliori auguri per un sereno e felice 2024❤️.ciao⛰⛰🤩🤩
Hi Aplins, may I know if there’s closure period for grindelwald-kleinschneigg-mannlichen? Am I able to access the hiking trails, planning to visit first week of May.
Hi there! The first week of May will likely be pretty tough high in the mountains, but that's totally based on how warm or cold the spring is. For cable car and train operating info, be sure to check out this website: www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/operating-info/

You'll probably find this video really helpful! ua-cam.com/video/1qzwAKWh2n0/v-deo.html
A fantastic guide - there’s still places I haven’t been to (looking at you Allemendhubel) which I need to visit :)
There are just endless places to discover - we’re still finding new ones! Hope you get to visit Allmendhubel sometime soon! 🙂
Hi Aplins, may I know if there’s closure period for grindelwald-kleinschneigg-mannlichen? Am I able to access the hiking trails, planning to visit first week of May.
You can find the operating info for those routes here: www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/operating-info/
Hey Jenna. At 12.15 you talking about a picking point and the pic you showed. Kindly can you tell where is that please?
This is at the benches just up the hill from the playground at Allmendhubel!
Hi, @aplinsinthealps Do you know anything about current impacts to the Schilthorn and Birg thrill walk? I have heard they are partially closed for construction.
That’s true, but it depends on the work they’re doing that day. The Schilthorn website has updated construction info, or you can ask in the Schilthornbahn station!

No word yet, unfortunately, on how soon you'll be able to do so - keep checking on their website! www.maennlichen.ch/en/summer/experiences/royal-ride.html
@@AplinsintheAlps THANKS !!!!🐄
You're welcome!
If you had to pick one or the other to visit in the first week of October, Jungfrau region or Lucerne region, which would you choose? We're two couples in our 60's and active. We only have about 2 or 3 nights available in Switzerland. TY
If staying in the area for a week and there are things to do on either side of the valley..you think it’s a good idea to split time in murren and Grindelwald?
We do generally think a week in Mürren might be a bit long unless you just plan to hike the whole time, so a split could be a great choice! We actually made this video comparing 7 different villages in the Jungfrau Region to help you choose where to stay! ua-cam.com/video/4CR9oGeWw6I/v-deo.html
I am travelling to the region in late December. Are the waterfalls frozen during that time?
How fun! They won't be frozen, but there might not be a whole lot of water in them. If we have an early snow that melts, they can look nice, but it's better to expect them not to be too full.
@@AplinsintheAlps thanks! It looks amazing in the winters.
You guys are awesome and Your videos are so organized and super helpful. We wanted to do mid May in this region as we prefer less crows but now contemplating waiting for another 2 weeks as we are travelling with young toddlers and wanted them to enjoy the parks but cable cars to Mannlichen / Aalmendhubal open in June I believe. My understanding is that Mannlichen may open earlier than Aalmendhubal so pls let me know if is worth moving the trip all the way to mid June just for Aalmendhubal or if there is a way to visit Aalmendhubal earlier than that ?
The Schynige Platte train won't open until early June (late snowfall this year), so from this point of view it's a good idea 🙂
Is Schynige Platte okay to visit in February?
Unfortunately Schynige Platte is only open during the summer season!
I request you to make video on jungfrau region winter guide line, like things to do, what is open and close, and how to make it budget friendly 🙏🏼
If you have already please enlighten me
Thank You 😊 🙏🏼
Thanks so much for your suggestion. This was our first winter living in Switzerland so we're hoping to start creating some winter content!
I want to ask, is small drones allowed in this region? Thanks in advance
We're not sure about the rules on drones. We don't have a drone so we've never looked into the rules. Hope you find your answer!
We are visiting the Jungfrau region end of April , will most of these places be closed during this time? Thank you
I am visiting the Jungfrau region for 8 days. Is there a town you recommend that is centrally located to everything?
Hi there! Be sure to check out this video if you haven't already, because it sounds like exactly what you're looking for! ua-cam.com/video/4CR9oGeWw6I/v-deo.html
Hey Aplins! I've watched lots of your videos. I am planning a honeymoon for my fiancee, and me. I am trying to figure out the optimal time to go to Murren, to find bright, sunny days with some flowers beginning to bloom and the contrasting, snow-capped mountains? I am thinking May 1 to 30... would that be a good time?
We actually have a video that will help with this!

I am coming to Interlaken in July (just booked transport and hotel) - any ideas on how to get a guide to help me make the most of my stay?
We sell digital travel guides and think those work great for most people (aplinsinthealps.com/guides). Otherwise, we're not aware of any private tour guides, though there are lots of individual tours available on Get Your Guide: www.getyourguide.com/?partner_id=6Z1XS4Y&mkt_cmp=true
Thank you
Are y’all aware of any dairy farms to visit in Lauterbrunnen or Jungfrau? I grew up on a dairy in TX and I would love to see one in Switzerland.
There are dairy farms all over the place here - Interlaken, Wilderswil, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, etc. You won't be able to miss them! (But there aren't any tours, but you might be able to meet the farmer if you see them!)
Hey guys. I am watching this 5th time. i am keep making me itinerary. 😂 hope i can decide what to do in 6 days
You just have to come back every year :)
@@AplinsintheAlps true. Bcz there is so much so see in Switzerland 🥰
Just found out mannlichen will be closed during our visit in early may, kids would have died to ride atop the cable car 😢
Hello , in what month and dates was this video filmed?
Hi there! We're using videos we filmed at all different types of year, but most from April through October.
How can I go to the secret bakery where there’s the best cinnamon roll?😅
I saw it’s in a city near Interlaken, but is there any bus or train to let me there?
Haha, love that you wanna try those amazing cinnamon rolls! You can find the bakery pinned on our map here: aplinsinthealps.com/swiss-food-near-interlaken-switzerland-what-where-to-eat-free-map/
Ragazzi, dal 22 luglio al 6 agosto 2024, io e i miei due amici, compagni di escursioni montane, vecchierelli come me, torneremo per la terza volta a Grindelwald per soggiornarci stavolta due settimane piene e fare tutte le escursioni ,da quelle intorno a Grindelwald , lo jungfraujoch e il monchsjochhutte,ma anche allo Schilthorn, a Interlaken…ed anche una gita a Lucerna. E non vediamo L ora, perché noi amiamo e conosciamo bene tutto l arco alpino, italiano, svizzero, francese ed austriaco…ma Grindelwald come Zermatt e Chamonix, sono i nostri luoghi che amiamo di più.😊
Wow, è fantastico! Ci auguriamo che ti piaccia tutto ciò che hai elencato durante le tue 2 settimane qui! 🤩
@@AplinsintheAlps Grazie, di sicuro….quella zona la conosciamo benissimo…saliremo in treno da Roma e sfrutteremo l unlimited jungfrau summer pass 2024 così potremo muoverci ovunque con tutti i mezzi che ,anche questi ,conosciamo molto bene. E colgo quindi l occasione per farvi i nostri migliori auguri per un sereno e felice 2024❤️.ciao⛰⛰🤩🤩
Uhm…caffè 3692 non lo conosciamo…questa estate a Grindelwald ci andiamo di sicuro…vi seguo e mi fido di voi..😉😉
hey which is a better (cheaper) month to travel mid may or early june¿
Hi there! Mid-May is cheaper, but early June is usually better for summer activities and hikes higher in the mountains.
Too much "notification" sounds.
Thanks for the feedback!
Wer keine Jungfrau kennt, sollte die Schweiz verlassen! ;)))
Hi Aplins, may I know if there’s closure period for grindelwald-kleinschneigg-mannlichen? Am I able to access the hiking trails, planning to visit first week of May.
Hi there! The first week of May will likely be pretty tough high in the mountains, but that's totally based on how warm or cold the spring is. For cable car and train operating info, be sure to check out this website: www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/operating-info/
Thank you 😊
