We were at Grindelwald two weeks ago. We were there for eight nights. I wish I have tried you guys' cafe recommendations. Well... Grindelwald is a lovely destination. It's a great base for our adventures in the higher mountains. We picked it after watching you guy's video on where to stay at the Interlaken region. We'll be back! Thanks guys!
Great choice! So glad our video helped you pick the best spot for you. Guess you’ll just have to come back again for our cafe recommendations 😉
Just got back from Grindelwald, two of the recommended cafes were closed on holiday, but we did do some hiking and enjoyed others things through the guides and videos we watched, had a great time.
Wonderful! Yep, unfortunately some places close for a few weeks during peak season so they can go on their own holidays, but so glad you still enjoyed your time! 😊
This video is so helpful for my upcoming trip. Thank you guys!!!
We’re happy to help! 😊Enjoy your time in Switzerland!
super useful Alpins.thanks for including the prices which will help travellers to budget.
We’re happy to help!!
This video is so helpful! Please consider making more videos like this for other locations too such as Interlaken, thank you very much.
Thank you! We actually already have a cheap and free video in Interlaken 😊 And Lucerne as well - you can search for those on our channel!
Thanks for sharing this video ❤❤❤
You're welcome!
Another great video. I wrapped up my trip to that area yesterday. Went to Zermatt first. Couldn’t believe how cold I was in the glacier at the Matterhorn glacier Paradise.
Surprisingly bumped into a woman that I spoke with on my flight to Geneva in the chocolate shop in town.
But being a car guy who likes to drive, yesterday, I drove through as many mountain passes as I could.
Susten Pass
Furka Pass
Grimsel Pass
Glaubenberg Pass
The motorcycle riders are crazy death defying people. But I had amazing weather and terrific views.
Thanks for encouraging the interest in Switzerland, which I would’ve never had.
Sounds like you had a great trip!! Isn’t it amazing when you run into the same travelers in multiple places?!? And we’ve rented a car a few times in Switzerland and Brett also loves driving those mountain passes! We’re always amazed at the cyclists who ride up 🚲! Thanks for sharing our love of Switzerland. We hope you return again one day! 😊
We are actually here in Grindelwald right now! Planned the trip with heavy reliance on your awesome videos.
The activities up at Pfingstegg was awesome fun and while not mentioned on this video, we walked the 30mins to the Glacier Canyon which was well worth the entry price. The hike out to Bachalpsee is also a must do for anyone heading up to First. It’s magical.
In short, I cant thank you guys enough for your videos. This place is simply breathtaking. It is a dream come true for us having come all the way from Australia. 🦘🇦🇺✌🏼
Fantastic! We include those places in our 3-Day Guide to Grindelwald and of course other videos. So many great things to do 😊 Enjoy the rest of your special trip!!!
Amazing. Place thank you for sharing this information ❤❤
You’re so welcome! 😊
We just spent 2 weeks in Interlaken and went to some great coffee places you highlighted. As far as dinner is concerned, nit much appealed until we found Ristorante Citta Vecchia in Unterseen. We literally at their every night . The Lasagna and eggplant parm and pizza and desserts were all amazing. Emanuel became my friend and we will be going back for the beauty and their food. Maybe some shows to highlight great specialized restaurants. Thanks again ! Ken
So fun you went to Citta Vecchia so many times and made friends with the owner! We plan to do a restaurant video at some point. So many video ideas!!
Grindelwald is amazing, and so so beautiful. I'm really missing those views ❤️
It sure has wonderful views! 🤩
I think I saw Jana from the train at wilderswill station heading to grindlewald at 9:40 today ( 13/07/2024). Would have liked to say hello!! Thanks for all the guidance through your channel!
You should have said hello! We live here so we're on the trains often :)
The first thing made me smile: it's when Brett set with that statue😂😂
🤣 So glad we can make you laugh!! He’s always so funny!
OMG....we did saw you guys shoot in the Qraftwerk bakery when we were visiting Grindelwald in late May.
That was us! 😊 You should have said hi!
Another great video, thanks !
I was exactly thinking that Pfinstegg might end up being a better choice than First for us since we will have only a single day in Grindelwald and I would hate wasting hours in line. Our other activity for that day will be the Mannlichen plus maybe the canyon but with 3 kids everything takes forever so probably won't happen 😂
Thanks again and man I would love to stumble upon you guys filming !!! 😂
That sounds like a great plan for a day in this area! Especially for Mannlichen views and Pfingstegg fun 🙃 the Canyon is near-ish to Pfingstegg so maybe you can squeeze it in. If you see us, feel free to stop and say hi!!
@@AplinsintheAlps thanks again and hahahaha if I see you you can be 1000% certain that I will !!! :😜
Great video about one of my favourite places on earth. I’m desperate to find a farm fridge next time we are there. My kids loved Pffinstegg and the play area when we last went and we have lots of photos from the viewpoint with the family :)
A top tip is the crazy golf as well for families (and the outside pool as well with an epic slide!)
Can I be pedantic - the “cathedral” that you mention is actually an “evangelical reformed church” and is a Protestant church. As far as I can work out, these churches have a “Presbyterian-synodal” government which means that they don’t have bishops (unlike catholic or Anglican/episcopal churches for instance) and therefore don’t have cathedrals (which are seats of bishops.)
It’s a beautiful church though, although its main door that automatically opens when you walked past it freaked me out a bit!
There are soooo many farm fridges in the area once you get outside of the town - you guys would love them! And yeah, Pfingstegg is such a great place for families 😊 You’re right about the church being a reformed state church. I’m never quite sure what to call the buildings since church doesn’t seem appropriate for such a lovely place! 🤩
Do i have time or will it be rushing if i go Grindelwald First and pfingstegg afterwards in a day.
Questions 🤚🏼 . Is it safe to wander around the paths in Switzerland for a solo traveler. Also what should we do about ticks and other critters when on a hike or on a picnic.
This area of Switzerland is very safe! Even Jana goes out on lesser known trails and feels safe. You can use bug/tick spray, but we’ve lived here for 3 summers and have never had a tick (although we always check as soon as we get home just to be safe). And mosquitoes loveeee Jana but we really don’t have them in this area! (Thankfully!)
@@AplinsintheAlps thank you! I hear so much stuff about Europe being dangerous and what not
Of course, anything can happen, but we generally feel safer all over Europe than in most American cities unfortunately :(
Hello which month you take this video please reply
