- Come along with me to Switzerland! Switzerland has been a fairytale country that I’ve been dreaming of exploring for so long and I was finally able to go in May. It is my first international trip since the pandemic. It was so magical and I’m excited to share the experience with you all! Hopefully this helps everyone plan their own trips and give some inspiration of what to do and where to go.
If you have any questions on traveling to Switzerland, please feel free to leave a comment down below and more than happy to provide travel tips! If I get enough questions I can make an informational video just on trip planning, itinerary and country-specific information.
Thank you so much for watching- it sincerely means to world to be able to share an once in a lifetime experience exploring a country I’ve always wanted to visit ♡

Hi everyone! Thank you every so much for watching the vlog! I've been getting a lot of questions lately on the Airbnb I stayed in in Grindelwald. Here is the link to the Airbnb! I was finally able to get the link from my friend who booked it. Hope this helps everyone! www.airbnb.com/rooms/40190987?bev_ref=&c=.pi80.pkYm9va2luZy92MV9taWdyYXRpb24vcmVzZXJ2YXRpb25fYWNjZXB0YW5jZV9jb25maXJtYXRpb25fZ3Vlc3Q%3D&eal_exp=1651813576&eal_sig=e88c4bdb003f5ea0189a2bd3713fda4306b926972f347ebbcbeb1ea9962c5c2d&eal_uid=116578020&euid=502c69d6-c294-dec6-c3ad-c09e0562e067&photo=&s=&user_id=&source_impression_id=p3_1683653997_sZoxiiep3jstvoHW

Watching this for inspiration for my trip - OMG your videography skills are amazing!! Love how you filmed all the aesthetic shots, the editing and your vlogging style are so fun! So glad I found your channel 🙌
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it a lot!
Came to comment the same thing haha. What filter or camera settings did you use to get that retro vibe? Something I was wanting to do for my vid.
Very beautiful vlog with nice music. Love watching it again and again. It would be nice if you could share another information video about your trip planning, itinerary, travel tips etc.
I honestly started crying watching this as I’ve got a long distance best friend there I hate to think about it but I just do, it’s honestly home to me :(
Thank you for this informative video. Will visit Switzerland next week with my husband. So excited to explore the country ☺️
Can you post your itinerary? Im planning to go in may!
This vlog is a work of art! You have me so excited for my trip this fall 😊
Thanks for this! Going to Switzerland in October.

Yes!! I've been getting a lot of questions on the Airbnb- I posted a comment in the comment section with the Airbnb link! Hope it helps and that you all have a great trip!
Thank you so much for this vidéo, it'd definitely gonna help me for my own trip ❤
I'm so glad this was helpful and hope you had a wonderful trip!
Thank you so, so much for this! My fiancé and I will be spending our honeymoon in Switzerland next April and this video has been super informative and aesthetic as well 🥺
I wish you a wonderful honeymoon in my country 😊
Congrats! Hope you enjoy your time there and glad this video helped! (:
Pack an umbrella, "aprilwetter" (april weather) is a thing.... meaning its all over the place
Wish you an amazing trip next year.
😂 so fun to see other ppl visiting Switzerland. I study in Bern so get to see it very often.
If you go to Rosengarten at the right time there are some cherry blossoms (gifted from the Japanese government like 50 years ago)
And very close to that the bärengraben (where some bears live)
love how you visited the kdrama areas lol,also love your editing💗🫶
Thank you so much!!
Amazing vlog, really loved the music! Can you please share your itinerary :)
I’m literally watching this at the airport on my way home from Switzerland
Hope your trip went well!

The motherland ❤️
Can I ask what month you went? The foliage looks beautiful.
I went in May!! (:
Love ur video🥰
SUCH a beautifully done video! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Cathy. Love your vlog💜
Will be in Switzerland this Oct and got more excited when I saw your vlog. Just want to ask, did you buy the Swiss Travel Pass? Did it cover all of your trips? Coz I'm torm between the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Half Fare. Thank you in advance😊
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply but hoping I caught you before your trip. I did get the Swiss Travel Pass! It covered all my transport minus the special mountain railways, cog railway trains, and gondolas. For those special ones like the Jung Frau Bahn and the Eiger Express, they were only a partial discount instead of being fully covered. I ended up choosing the full Swiss pass because I knew I would be taking the train a lot in between different cities so it was worth it but if you are only visiting a couple of cities then the half fare price might be better!
HI Edna! Please share your experience, what pass did you buy in your trip? do you know if it makes sense to buy a Regional Berner-Oberland pass?
@@cathydingg do you know if it makes sense to buy a Regional Berner-Oberland pass?
Wonderful video!! Can I ask what dates were you there? I see the lake was frozen and trying to plan my dates when we will be there. Thank you!!
This was so beautiful! Do you share your itineraries or anything? :)
Hello Cathy, great vlog I liked the Airbnb you stayed in can you share that with us.
Thanks
Hi! I linked it in the comment I posted in the pinned thread! Definitely an airbnb of a lifetime!
Can you share your itineraries please. And do you recommend to stay in Grindelwald than go back to the hotel in Interlaken? Thanks
Please answer, wonder as well.
Hi there! I will try to clean up an itinerary and link it in the description of the video! And personally, I loved Grindelwald and wanted to stay there overnight for the experience of being in the mountains and staying in one of the quaint cottages in the mountains. I would stay in Interlaken separately. You could also stay in Interlaken the whole time and take a day trip to Grindelwald but personally I think in the spring it is really worth it to stay in Grindelwald overnight! Hope that helps!
@@lucyohio3005 Replied above!
Hi Cathy! Just wondering if you could share your itinerary and accommodations as me and my wife plan to visit this May
Hi Cathy! What month did you go travel? Thanks
Loving your vlogs!!!! Can you list down the hostels or hotels you stayed at? Im planning to go there in July
Did you have all the trains and hotels prebooked? Or did you just book as you went? Because I really want to go through the villages but I just feel like it would be so much easier to just find a hotel to stay in whenever we get there instead
Ah yes! That confused me as well at first. I did not prebook any of the trains because I don't think that is super necessary. There is almost always more space on the trains so I wouldn't worry about them selling out. I think hotels, if you plan on staying at a particular locations, you may want to book in advance just in case especially if you go July-August which is peak season. Hostels typically had room when I visited in May but that may not be the case during peak season. Hope that helps!
@@cathydingg is it possible to just get a place in one of the villages and just spend the day going from one to village to another and then back to your hotel?
@@cathydingg When you have a Pass, do you just take any train/ ferry without pre-booking?
Suberbbbbbbb, it is really beautiful Sharing 👌 your skills are at the next level 😍😍 I really enjoy Your video ❤️❤️{{ To be honest your video are like teaching resources for millions like me who benefit from the best like yourself 🌟🌟{{ keep Sharing 💐keep smiling 😊keep helping 🌟🌟 STAY Safe 🌟🌟 STAY CONNECTED}}💢💢💯💯
HI - what days did you go last year? I want to plan a trip to go in may, but am worried about hiking closures. do you have any experiences you can share about that? I found info on the web but it's hard to distinguish what it actually means :(
Hi!! I also went early-middle May! I think for Grindelwald most hikes were open, I hiked to some spots but they may just have snow so make sure you bring good shoes. The hikes to higher elevation lakes are unfortunately probably prettier around July-August because when I went snow was still covering the lake. On the bright side though, I think personally Grindelwald is prettiest in the spring around May because of flowers, and greenery and mild weather. As for Zermatt, I don't recommend going in May if you plan on hiking. I did some hikes and it was nice but I don't think it is worth it to go there unless you can do some of the popular hikes which were mostly closed when I went! Overall if you want just to enjoy the scenery and do some hikes, May is a good time. If you just want to hike then maybe do July or August! Hope that helps!
@@cathydingg thanks Cathy! Really appreciate the help. Was the train system easy to follow? How long were train rides getting place to place? I’ve seen some blogs that suggested renting a car. Also, what tickets weren’t covered by the train pass and how much were they? :)
Great video, beautifully done. I'll be visiting Zurich and Interlaken region in May, how's the weather? Is a light jacket sufficient? Also, how was paragliding, does it feel like floating or is there turbulence?
I m going in May as well. Are you planning to buy any passes? did you do already your "homework"? Please share if you dont mind, please
@@lucyohio3005 haha sure, yes I'm planning to buy the half fare card and berner oberland pass. The plan now is Zurich for 2 nights, Interlaken/Jungfrau region for 4 nights and back to Zurich for last night. My flights into and out of Switzerland are into/from Zurich. Might take a day trip to Montreux but undecided.
@@safieeaziz2398 Wow, it sounds exactly like my plans! Only I do 1 day in Bern and 2.5 days Interlaken/jungfrau. 1 day staying in Bern gave you free transportation around. Then i'm planning to purchase Swiss Pass for 4 days ( starting from April 15 will be promotion "buy 4 days and 5th day free). It seems cheaper than card and oberland pass together. Still doing my math :)
That's great, I found that the half fare card and berner oberland pass works for me. But I'm still trying to piece everything together too. Seems like you won't be doing much traveling between cities, that's what I found to be most expensive. Especially if they're further apart. When in May will you be there? If you're planning to go to Jungfraujoch, the trip up will be included in any pass I think.
The weather is really nice! Quite mild and even a bit warm when it's sunny. In May still rain a little so maybe bring a rain jacket. Also if you plan on hiking or visiting the top of certain mountains in Interlaken, it may be good to bring a lightweight puffer or wind breaker as it could get a bit chilly!
Hello! Do you have a list of your air bnbs/ hostels you stayed in? Specifically wondering about the airbnb you stayed in in Grindelwald? Thanks!
very nice video keep going
Hi, could you please share the link of the airbnb chalet you stayed at Grindelwald
Linked in a comment above!
Beautiful 😍
Where is the viewing point in zermatt? That looks so beautiful!
It's called Mürini Hill! If you Google Maps Matterhorn Viewpoint, you should be able to find it!
can you please drop the title of all song you used in your vlog, btw your vlog is the best🥹🥹🥹
brother-aewsome shots. =)
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it!
Does Switzerland accept visa Cards or will i need to exchange money?
They do accept Visa! Most places take card but I would exchange a little just in case- maybe ~$200 dollars for a week in Switzerland.
Visa and mastercard are the frequent ones here i think.
And yes, having some money exchanged is well, especially if you plan to go into the mountains.
thanks for using my song :)
Of course! Thank you for making such beautiful music- makes the landscape shots 10x better
can you share your switzerland itinerary and hotel please? planning to stay for (family trip) 4 days, let me know your recommendations. thank you

Hahahahahahahaha I can’t get over how you pronounced thun
(The th is like the t in table. The u like in full. The n like in never. …. Idk if that makes sense )
HAHA thank you for the correction- I'm terrible with all these names so appreciate it!
@@cathydingg 😂 no problem
We have lots of dialects so many names (or words) in general are pronounced a bit differently depending on the region
