Here’s how we planned our trip to Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Being our first International vacation, we wanted it to be the best.
Hitting another continent was the target!! LOL!
Let’s be honest that Switzerland is one beautiful country which is on everyone’s bucket-list, no matter how costly affair it is.
From the alluring beauty of the Snow clad mountains to Charmingly beautiful lakes to medieval towns, every place in Switzerland was impeccable.
Here’s a sneak peek into our 9 days itinerary.
As our flight landed in Zurich after 13 hours, long queue in Immigration awaited us. And myraid of questions popped in our mind! You know it’s bit tough to avoid the uncertainty of being in a new country all by ourselves.(Being our first International travel experience added to the fire)
We had booked our stay for next five days in a hostel with private room in Interlaken west(walkable distance from Rail station! Wink!), which means we can cook our meals whenever we want to in the hostel.
Off we went to Interlaken west which is going to be our base for all our mountain excursions.
To Top of Europe
Since the next few days seemed cloudy in Jungfraujoch, we set out to Top of Europe on the second day of our trip. There are two directions you can take to reach Jungfraujoch.
Option 2 : Interlaken Ost–>Grindelwald–>Klein Scheidegg–> Jungfraujoch
We had taken both the options for our to and fro journeys.
Both the journeys were equally appealing with fantastic views at your window side. More than all that, the beauty of Aletsch glacier is all worth the penny u spend on this day excursion. 
Remember to plan this excursion on a clear day for the best views. Want to know nitty gritty details of how we planned our trip to Jungfraujoch? Head on over here.
Merry go round in Mt Titlis!
With Swiss cow bells ringing to the tune of wind below, just sit back and let your three level cable car takes you on a journey from green meadows to snow clad mountains with wonderful panaromic views. 
Spend your time by taking a ride in Ice glacier or braving yourself walking the highest elevation bridge in Mt Titlis. On your way back, don’t miss to splurge yourself on a journey to the pretty city of Lucerne.
From it’s antiquated Chapel bridge to stunning buildings of Lucerne, nothing will stop you from saying ‘Wow’ at every glimpses of it. Inquistive to know how we spent our day in Mt Titlis and Lucerne? Detailed blogpost is here.
Vevey and Montreux
Boat ride from Vevey to Montreux Castle was surreal. We spent quite a lot of time in Vevey and Montreux Castle, that we had only little time to explore Montreux.
Nevertheless, we quickly walked the colourful lake promenade area studded with dazzling flowers. When we walked towards Railway station, we were awe struck by the colourful medieval buildings of Montruex.
Look how vibrant it stands!
Each place offers different things to different travelers right? Want to see what Vevey and Montreux has offered us? And how we spent our day in Vevey and Montreux? Check here!
Stay – Happy Inn Lodge, Interlaken.
From its Turquoise blue coloured lake to calmingly beautiful village, everything in Brienz was picture perfect.
A day in Brienz was not at all a part of my itinerary. But guess what??
Have a look at this picture!
Stay – Happy Inn Lodge, Interlaken.
When we were travelling in Glacier express, we were bit mystified whether this train journey is overrated. However our views got changed as we went past Disentis. Want to know how? Check out here.
We refreshed and headed to spectacular Leaning tower of St Moritz and called it a day after treating ourselves with the candle lit dinner.
Stay – Chesa Albris Bed & Breakfast
An easy trail right from the Morteratsch Railway station lead you to Morteratsch glacier. The trail starts with picturesque pine trees on both sides of the way and a beautiful river flowing along the left side of the trail.
Lest we know that time how this beautiful trail is going to take us on a spine chilling journey of Climate change.
Head on over here to know how this hiking took us on a hair-raising experience of climate change!
Thanks to my friend who invited us to this happy valley and hosted us for the night.
Liechtenstein is a tiny principality snuggled between Austria and Switzerland with no army of it’s own. This happy valley seemed to allure me even with just walking along the deserted streets.
I should again thank my friend only who took us to Feldkirch, Austria to buy chocolates. Believe me! The price of the same Lindt chocolate in Austria was less than half the price that of Switzerland.
Next day morning, before setting our way to Zurich, we made a visit to Stunning Vaduz castle(Still an official royal residence) perched on a hilltop to make you feel like you are in the land of fairy tales. Want to know how we spent our one day in the happy valley? Head here!
