Explore the Charm of Switzerland this Summer with Suitcase diaries
Your international travel plans must have taken a hit these past two years. But great news, the world is now open to travel! And what better way to spend your summer holidays than taking a good old Europe trip? From being home to wonderful landscapes, historical architecture, and tons of world-renowned festivals, Europe is a massive continent with an unlimited assortment of places to visit and things to do.
Every country has its charm, offering various options for adventures during your trip. One such must-visit country is Switzerland. Located in the middle of Western Europe, Switzerland is the dream destination of many tourists due to its enchanting snow-capped mountains, crystal clear lakes, endless green pastures, and quaint little towns.
If you want to plan an unforgettable family trip to Switzerland but don’t know where to start: here are the top 5 places to consider visiting post-covid.
Lucerne
Considered a signature of Switzerland, Lucerne is a city that offers the perfect amalgamation of nature and urban life. You can spend a day boating at Lake Lucerne or climb the beautiful Mt. Pilatus just outside the city. You can take a cable car from the city to reach the top and enjoy a mesmerising view of the region below. The mountains Rigi and Tilis are also among the top places to visit with kids while in Lucerne.
Interlaken
Nestled between two breath-taking lakes, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, Interlaken is home to stunning alpine sceneries. Renowned as Switzerland’s “Adrenaline Capital”, the town offers many adventurous activities like paragliding, hiking, and biking. It also offers boat rides, sightseeing tours in the Bernese Oberland, and cable car rides for those who are travelling with kids.
Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
A must-visit in Switzerland, Jungfraujoch is home to the largest glacier in the Alps, the highest train station in Europe, and incredible mountain views. You can hop on a train from Interlaken or the Grindelwald Terminal in the Jungfrau region to reach Jungfraujoch. Once there, don’t forget to see the tunnels of the Ice Palace that weave under the Aletsch Glacier.
St. Moritz
Bask in the luxury of world-class ski hills and mineral springs in St. Moritz. It is the birthplace of winter tourism and has hosted the Winter Olympics twice. One of the main outdoor summer attractions in St. Moritz is hiking. You can take the funicular railway from Punt Muragl train station up to Muottas Muagl, where you can start the hike.
Lauterbrunnen
Alpine meadows, dramatic rock faces, dozens of waterfalls, and more, Lauterbrunnen is one of those places with such mesmerising scenic views that it looks made up. If you are in Lauterbrunnen, you have to visit Trummelbach Falls. Located within walking distance from the town of Lauterbrunnen, it is a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain. They are made accessible anytime through a tunnel-funicular. The falls make for a great summer holiday trip where you can also visit the valley of 72 waterfalls.
