Undoubtedly, a much sought\u00a0 after tourist destination and full of unique places to visit Switzerland with its \u00a0snow capped mountain peaks, shimmering lakes, \u00a0cool climate and picturesque sights\u00a0 is\u00a0 mesmerizing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excitement, \u00a0anticipation and an incredible feeling of am I really there ? \u00a0marked my first visit with family \u00a0to Switzerland.\u00a0 Heading from Paris to Interlaken (the most beautiful town in Switzerland)\u00a0 on the hi-tech , super fast euro-rail ,\u00a0 was exciting. The spick and span luxurious train zipped with hurricane speed. The view of the countryside from the window \u00a0was breath-taking.<\/p>\n

A wholesome \u00a0lunch of fish, potato and apple pie along with white wine was delicious and lifted our spirits. As we entered the swiss territory, leaving Paris behind, the scenery magically changed\u00a0 into the picture perfect lake district. The water body\u00a0 seemed \u00a0like a huge, glistening \u00a0piece of emerald embedded between mountains and forests. The entire countryside with its rolling hills, symmetrical cottages ,greenery, woods replenished my soul. The air out here is absolutely fresh and pure !<\/p>\n

Some unique places to visit in Switzerland\u00a0 are : –<\/h4>\n

INTERLAKEN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Interlaken in Switzerland \u00a0is \u00a0a charming, fairy tale hill station, with lakes, a gurgling\u00a0 turquoise \u00a0river flowing through the town and surrounded by \u00a0snow capped mountains .The winding roads have very sparse traffic . Being\u00a0 far away from the pollution and chaos of \u00a0city life and hence a perfect place to rejuvenate the weary traveler. Interlaken is one of the most calm and peaceful places , a perfect destination to unwind. On the hind side\u00a0 though one thing lacking \u00a0here is that cabs, specially at the railway station, \u00a0are not easily available, though buses run at fixed intervals. Rides on\u00a0 horse driven carriages are popular with tourists. And one can see \u00a0majestic horses trotting on the cobbled streets \u00a0with delighted \u00a0passengers taking a ride on these \u00a0magnificent \u00a0carriages.<\/p>\n

A trip to the Harder Klum peak \u00a0was a great \u00a0experience and is one of the unique places to visit in Switzerland. Traveling by the cog wheel train on the steep mountain slope – is\u00a0 indeed an engineering marvel. One can get\u00a0 pleasant \u00a0aerial views from the summit of Harder, of the snow capped peaks \u00a0in the horizon and the beautiful \u00a0town of Interlaken, the lakes and greenery below .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Any trip to Switzerland is incomplete without a boat ride on its huge, pristine lakes. Our boat trip of two and a half hours\u00a0 was from Interlaken to a small town in the interiors called \u00a0Thun. \u00a0The experience of having wood fire baked pizza in an Italian restaurant with the \u00a0gushing rivulet flowing close by was fabulous.<\/p>\n

JUNGFRAU<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the highest and famous mountain peaks in the Swiss Alps a is Jungfrau. The summit being \u00a0at a height of 13,500 feet above sea level, temperature below sub zero level throughout the year. Our trip to this place \u00a0was full of excitement and adventure. Amazingly, even at such a height, these mighty mountain range is connected with the rail system (built in 1912), \u00a0covering most of the distance inside the mountain itself .\u00a0 Intermediate stations with panoramic windows provide splendid outside\u00a0 views of the alpine region. \u00a0The eurorail system is absolutely top class \u2013 sleek, well maintained and super fast.<\/p>\n

When the train climbed onto a steep mountain , my heart skipped a beat \u2026\u2026 as it \u00a0moved further up,\u00a0 intriguing \u00a0snow clad mountains all around came into view. After going through a series of tunnels, we finally reached the icy cold, water dripping station which was our destination. The viewing deck for tourists had full length glass windows for an out of the world sight of the massive, pure white \u00a0mountain range. Truely, seemed like paradise. Though icy cold and chilly till the bones, me and my family did venture out in the slippery, cream like snow. Children had fun playing in the snow here. A blizzard \u00a0negated all \u00a0visibility and numbed by the\u00a0 extreme cold , we had to hurry back inside the ice museum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LUCERNE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From Interlaken we again took the very convenient luxurious train to Lucerne, which was our next destination.! Explore Lucerne by taking a boat ride on the lake, stroll on the centuries old wooden bridge or simply stroll around the charming \u00a0place. This pedestrian friendly town also has the exquisite Lion monument, carved out of a single stone.<\/p>\n

MOUNT TITLIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lucerne has proximity to two of the most famous mountain ranges in Switzerland \u2013 Titlis and Pilatus. It is \u00a0\u00a0a premier tourist\u00a0 base in the heart of Switzerland. To reach Mt. Titlis, take the train till Engelberg, from where cable cars are available. Going on top of these high snow capped mountains on the glass rotoair is an exhilarating \u00a0experience . \u00a0I felt jittery as we glided upwards, nevertheless it \u00a0was\u00a0 thrilling . Visibilty may not be great depending on the weather conditions, we encountered dense fog. A \u00a0must do here is the air flyer ride \u2013 which gives a real experience of the icy cold, windy and \u00a0wet weather which is a hallmark of the Swiss Alps. Going full speed on the mist covered mountain glacier, we could\u2019nt even see one metre ahead on this ride.<\/p>\n

PILATUS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A thumbs up for Mount Pilatus! Though it is neither snow covered nor that high compared to Jungfrou or Titlis. Yet the top of the mountain peak have wonderful, far away, picture postcard \u00a0views due to the clear skies and crisp air.\u00a0 It is quite popular with hikers as the terrain is \u00a0non slippery. Must say it’s a\u00a0unique places to visit in Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
