we just returned after staying at the Edelweiss, where Tomas greeted us with the warmest reception we ever had in our travelling years. Wengen was a perfect location to post camp for a few days in order to travel to other beautiful locations nearby with ease via train. A small quiet town with stunning beauty just like everywhere else in Switzerland. Highly recommend the entire country
Honesty and trust is paramount, I love you folks for giving me hope for future travel! I'm going to watch again, cheers from Canada
Very good info. I know I will be watching again to take notes!
Excellent video and great recommendations! We stayed at Hotel Edelweiss in Wengen last September. Enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Schilthorn, Mannichlen and Trummelbach Falls! Loved every minute of the experiences!!
Just went to Jungfraojoch last year and we will be back again this summer and booked in Wengen. Thank you for showing this.
We returned from Grindelwald a few months ago and visited all the sites you mentioned (except the waterfalls). The church in Wengan was so beautiful, we went there twice!! Was surprised no one else was there. We will definitely return to Switzerland, probably when there is no snow. Thank you for the excellent videos!!
Great video thank you very much for putting it together !
Love it! You both are so nice! Thanks for shared! Good vibes for you!
We love Wengen ❤ went to visit Swiss first time in Aug this year and we decided to base in Wengen for Jungfrau visit and it was spectacular stays! We love trained rides from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen! I looked at Maya Caprice as well but we ended up booking Hotel Schoenegg on the top floor and it was magnificent! Always love you guys videos! We miss Switzerland so much!
Thank you. The information is very helpful.
I have recommended your channel and Instagram to friends. Now one of my friends is going around CH following your tips. Keep up the good work!
Thank you guys for this incredible video❤ excited for our trip in Wengen in June.
Thank you for your detailed and helpful videos! We're heading to Switzerland in July, and we've learned so much from you.
i love these videos! Will be going there next month!
Thanks! Your videos are the best for Switzerland planning we have seen. Amazing!
Thanks so much Steve! Enjoy Switzerland!
Very beautiful view! I miss this place already 😢
Thank you for the information. I followed your Interlaken video and booked 4 nights.
I should have tried this new section.
I guess I need to go back and forth.
I will come in 2 weeks.
I hope the foliage colors stay when I arrive.
Great video ... beautiful scenery
I wish we would have seen this video before our trip last summer! We'll have to go back.
another fantasic vlog guys
Absolutely great video. Grateful you did this. Trying to organise a trip for my wife and i and working out where to stay. Hopefully I can find my way around as well as you have.ooks like you had a beautiful time
Makes me so jealous. Was just there in July doing everything you showed and more. I miss it so much! I need to get back to Switzerland and do even more…..
Very nice video. Wengen is beautiful 💕✨
Hi again, Alexis and Louis. Super Video as always.Next year in Wengen I stay for first time in Hotel Edelweiss. Before I stayed 3 times in super Hotel Alpenrose.
Beautiful view
Just booked this hotel with my partner for later this winter we can NOT wait xx
Love you Switzerland 🇨🇭❤️
So Beautiful Amazing good job ❤❤❤😊
Very nice video we visited Wengen last June and it was a fabulous holiday
thanks for watching !
@@TheTravelingSwiss Hi, thanks to you too, because before we visited Switzerland we watched a lot of your videos about Switzerland and the Swiss Travel Passes and it was easy for us to plan our itinerary, we spent 12 days in Switzerland and visited a lot of beautiful places. By the way, We are from Malta
Always fly there on Swiss International.Great service and lovely food. This time Boeing 777-300 Bangkok to Zurich. As you recommend before, I'll buy the BOB Travel Pass - and the Half-Price Pass for my short stay in and around Zurich at end ofmy holiday.
Thank you so much for featuring gorgeous Wengen in its own video! We were there in July and we left our hearts at the Hotel Alpenrose 🇨🇭 Wengen is the perfect location for unmatched beauty, views, and a perfect launching site for the entire Jungfrau region. The Berner Oberland pass is a necessity for this area and we enjoyed the freedom of not even having to think before going anywhere our hearts desired. We can hardly wait to return with our entire family (hopefully next year). Thank you for all of your highly informative videos that we binge-watched to prepare for our perfect trip to Switzerland to celebrate our 25th anniversary!
Do you recommend staying in Wengen over Murren or Lauterbrunnen? Trying to decide which to call home base and would love to hear your thoughts on the pros/cons of Wengen!
@@Trevor_H I’m so glad you asked! We do recommend having Wengen as a home base for several reasons. The first is how amazingly beautiful the views are from anywhere you are in town! You can look down to Lauterbrunnen and across to Murren-so why not stay where you can enjoy all three? The second reason that we prefer Wengen is the small-town feel (although, you could argue that Murren also has this benefit). For us, Wengen offered the perfect balance of feeling quaint while still offering many shops, restaurants, and activities, which we felt Murren was lacking. Thirdly, Wengen is a great location for jumping off to both of the other towns you mentioned, as well as up to Mannlichen (which leads to Grindelwald, Eiger, and Jungfraujoch). It felt like the perfect balance for us to come “home” to our cozy hotel after a day out up and down, and maybe up again, any mountain in the area! Lastly, we were there with just the two of us, but we constantly dreamed of having our kiddos with us, because the town is set up so beautifully with children in mind. Additionally, Mannlichen is just an 8 minute gondola ride up the mountain to the most fun playground with a giant cow that you can climb on-we can hardly wait to return with our children! I hope this helps :) (also, you didn’t ask this, but we wouldn’t consider any of this without purchasing the Swiss Half-Fare card and the Berner Oberland Pass-it saved a TON of money and allowed us complete flexibility in the entire region).
@@heartofhome Thank you so much for this! We booked in Wengen and will definitely look to get those passes. Can't wait to experience these vistas!
@@Trevor_H That is wonderful news! I hope you absolutely love it! Please let us know how you like it and if you feel it was the right choice for your journey. Have safe, blessed, and joyful travels taking in the marvels of God’s amazing creation!
i will spend 4 days 3 nights in Wengen from Aug 3. thank you for the film which helps a lots
Thanks!
Than you so much for all of your support! We hope you enjoy our content 💕
Thanks to your video I was able to create the perfect itinerary in interlaken. Staying in Wengen tonight.
So glad to hear it !
Switzerland is beautiful
Wow…. I need to book this hotel 😮
Lovely!!! Thanks for these super helpful tips, we're planning to visit again switzerland and we're planning to stay for a total of 10 days, i'm totally in love with Jungfrau Region and will certainly visit, do you have a recommended itinerary for a 10 day trip (Interlaken, Jungfrau, Grindelwald,Zermatt) Thanks much!!!
5:27 It took me a few _years_ to get that large (0.5 l) Rugenbräu glass! For some reason souvenir shops don't sell beer glasses, they are only given to restaurants by beer companies. So my quest was to find a restaurant around Interlaken that would be arm-twistable into selling me one. To no avail! And I decided stealing was out of question. Finally, I got one in 2021 from a restaurant that cannot be named, of course, for security reasons. As of last September the guilty party waiter was still employed 🙂And the Wengen views are unbeatable!
Alexis/Louis, love your channel. Been a sub for a while now, i always enjoy your informative videos. I have some questions about the jacuzzi at this hotel, did you have to book a time slot to enter the spa area or was it on your balcony and was that a penhouse rental with a jacuzzi on the balcony? Is there more than one jacuzzi at this hotel? Thank you in advance. Again love you channel, you 2 are amazing, from Dallas Tx.
It was in the spa accessible to guests, you didn’t have to book it!
Staying in Wengen (didn't know about that little walk)--trip is in a couple weeks.
Beautiful. May i ask when did you flim this? We plan to go by end of October and hopefully to catch fall foilage. Thanks
Hi i have a quick question my family and i are visiting switzerland for 8nights end of april to first week of May. We wanted to visit Mannlichen but when i check the cable car and gondola schedule they only operate until the 10th of april and will resume mid May. Is there another way to get up to mannlichen maybe by train? Btw i love your videos i learned so much and im doing our itenirary based on your recommendations. Thank you😊
Great content!
When the video was filmed?
Content was filmed just about 2 weeks ago
splendid 🏔⛰🌼🌸
Mark...how was the food in the Hotel Edelweiss? I stay there next year
Hi. lovely video. Really helpful as am planning to visit Switzerland for the 1st time in September. May I know the prices of transportations in this video if possible please. Thanks.
The fall colours are beautiful. Was there snow in Kleine Scheidegg when you went?
not yet!
You had perfect weather for this trip! Were you there in October for this video?
yes we were very lucky considering the time of year!
Love this video! Which month was this filmed? I’m curious to know when the leaves change color like this?
Fall season, October, September.
Hi Louis we r at present In interlaken .today we have done murren lauterbrunnen and schilthorn.....r snow activities like sledge open in jungfraugh
Hello! Could I ask when this was filmed? I'll be in Wengen early October to mid-October and was wondering if the foliage would be as stunning as this.
This was filmed oct 8-10
LOL shout out to the disapproving Swiss man on the train in the back
So many of the transportation and destinations are closed mid-may still. Ugh I feel like the jugfray summer pass was a waste. And I can't find those fridges 😩
Hi. Wonderful video. When was this filmed? We would like to go when there are Fall colors. Thank you.
Second week of October!
@@TheTravelingSwiss Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video! I see that you're taking a stroller. How accessible are the hiking trails in these villages? We're taking our one-year old daughter to the Alps and wondering if we should get a baby carrier backpack in addition to a stroller 😅
Check the trail markers! Generally if they are yellow they will have paved trails - if they are white+red, they will have uneven terrain!
@@TheTravelingSwiss thanks so much for the insights!
Does Wegen have luxury shops like Gstaad and St Moritz?
Hi can you recommend where should we stay if we need to cover interlaken, lauterbrunnen, grindelwald ..we will be there for 3 days
Thanks for the video. It helps a lot to set up or next trip to Switzerland from BArcelona. I have a question/doubt: in case you need to take a bus (for example, in Wengen region to go from Lauterburnnen to the waterfalls, can I pay the tickets with my credit card or only cash? and normally tickets are bought inside the bus or you have to buy in advance in the bus stop (just thinking taking the bus in the waterfalls after getting there on foot maybe there is no bus ticket office and you have to buy them inside the bus and if they accept credit card inside). Just wondering how it works. Thanks a lot!!!
Oberland pass.
is it silly to get the bernal oberlan pass and the half pass? i plan to stay in lauterbrunnen and go everywhere in the region/top of europe but also zermatt and appenzell.
Can you go over the Bernese Oberland Pass in a video and what is included and pricing was each activities? Thanks.
We have just the video! Check out this one: ua-cam.com/video/O4UbfiuBnQM/v-deo.html
I'm going to Bernese Oberland on 31 Mar 24, and unfortunately the OBP only active on 1st Apr, so we only have Half fare on that day but we want to explore alot on that day, so i would like to ask does hotel in Wengen offer any local pass to use transportation on that day?
Thanks. What time of year did you tape this?
October
Thanks for your awesome videos.
Can we do this in one day ??
Interlaken 👉grindelwald 👉first👉grindelwald 👉eiger express👉grindelwald 👉Mann lichen 👉wengen👉interlaken
Using BERNESE OBERLAND pass
If you were staying in Grindelwald this would be easier - it can take about 40 minutes to get from interlaken to Grindelwald alone. I think it'll be doable, but you don't have a lot of time to enjoy all of these places if you do it all in one day
Hi! Would you recommend visiting Wengen during mid to late September? How is the weather? Thank you!
Correct, thus its the Alps, weather can change quickly.
Please tell which one more beautiful
Between murren and wengen ?
which side of the train is the best view on the way to wengen? Also does each room have a hot tub? or is it somewhere else?
Public spa, left side from Wengen.
May i know can i go to Schilthorn from wengen? I thought only 10min using cable. Google show!
if you want to go to the Eigengletscher Station from Kliene Scheidegg, is that included in the Oberland Regional Pass. Assume I do not want to go up to the Jungfraujoch. Thank you!!
Yes! Up to Eigergletscher is included in the Berner Oberland pass
@@TheTravelingSwiss Thank you. Switzerland is a savings account now growing money, dreams, and plans. I look forward to working with you with my plans in the months to come. Your videos are so helpful, fun, and interesting.
Which month was this video shot in? Plz mention
Just a quick tip, you don’t need to stay near the station. Most hotels you can call for free from the station and they will come pick you up and drop you off.
Did you visit it in Autumn around October? How cold is the weather
This is September, October, fall season. 15c to 20c if your lucky.
could you please tell me in which month this was shot? I am planning to go in October first week so was asking if the views will be this good or not in Wengen and near by area
they mention in another comment that it’s mid october
When was this video shot? Is this ij september
Mid October
so with the OB pass, i can just hop on and hop off trains, boat, within the region it covers, and no need to purchase ticket and validate, is that right?
correct!
For some reason i cant find that white church on google maps. There are a lot of churches with a similiar name. Which exact region is it in?i typed the name that was inserted in the video along with wengen switzerland but cant find it :/
Google Wengen church, or Wengen viewpoint
What month did you go?
If I have time only for one, jungfrau or Mannlichen or Matterhorn ( Zermatt) or schillthorn, which one should I do ?
Jungfrau, top of Europe
I checked into my hotel in Wengen late today. I took trains from Zurich, and I have no idea what to do here with traveling around; there are so many options. I am sure I want to check out neighboring cities, but what pass do I need? I need a pass back to Zurich airport. I did pay one way today since nobody knew. I need to keep the price low can i just take the gondola or should I pay for a 3 day pass and does that get me to Zurich I dont think i will be on trains or transportation much, so seems way too expensive to get that pass.
The Oberland pass does the whole region near Wengen.
Una bomba 🆘😂
Hi guys, may I confirm if Mid Oct from 15-20th this year, will be foliage time of Jungfrau (Wengen of course)
Yes, did you go ?
@@aminalone Yes, I was there but not much foliage, except for Brienz and Blausee in mid Oct, perhaps early Nov was better
Would you recommend wengen or lauterbrunnen to stay if could only pick one ?
Lauterbrunnen is more convenient for transportation, but Wengen has much nicer options for lodging in our opinion! We prefer Wengen
Swiss pass works on gondola at half price??
Sir is it first half of October ??
Yes filmed oct 8-10
❤ I HOPE TO JOIN U😂

So you guys paid 700 a night?
? It’s never really over 400 - but if you travel in the autumn like we did it’ll be about 250 CHF
@@TheTravelingSwiss ah when i googled it I was getting 700 a night as the price!

Nice images. So thanks. But, the introduction and set up is far too long. Just do it, without spending time with a produced intro, then a face shit of you telling us what you are about to show us. Just show it.
Just skip ahead then lol
