Great videos. The microphone or sound coming through the video is a bit jarring. Just an FYI for anyone listening to the videos, I work at a seniors home and play videos for seniors. Thank you Rick!! Keep it coming
A good way to cut the cost of visiting Switzerland is to stay across the border and travel in. Flixbus run cheap buses (€5-8 each way) from Germany, Italy and France to the major cities in Switzerland. You can also hire a car if you're going as part of a group or if you want to see the more remote areas. Just remember to have breakfast before you go and to fill your rucksack or car boot with picnic supplies for the day. Annecy, Freiburg and Milan are good places to use as base camps for this (and are great places to visit too).
i'm really confused if i should buy swiss travel pass, half fare pass, or just buy ticket by ticket. I'm staying for 2 weeks and gonna see all the highlights possible.
everybody says Switzerland is so expensive but I live in Amsterdam and did some price comparison and found out it's not that much more expensive compared to Amsterdam or any other capital in Europe. London is more expensive then Switzerland...
Perhaps I will go to Switzerland the next year to visit Zurich, Berna and Geneva. I also want to know the country towns, which are very well explained in the video. Thank you!
I have been in that region several times in late May and it is an excellent time to go. Crowds are down and spring is in full bloom. Higher elevation trails will still be blocked by snow, but there will still be many lower elevation trails open.

nice words, yes it is expensive, that's why we cook and eat at home but invite family and friends
