Switzerland Travel Blogs: Alpine Peaks, Lakeside Charm & Scenic Trains
Our Swiss journey begins with a drive from Saint‑Gervais‑les‑Bains, crossing mountain passes until we reach Vevey. Here we discovered the lively lakeside markets along with their midday drinking ritual and the medieval charm of Gruyères Castle, lakeside town of Montreux and the terraced beauty of the Lavaux Vineyards.
From there, we continue deeper into the Swiss Alps, visiting Lucerne, Lauterbrunnen, and Grindelwald. These regions show Switzerland at its most iconic: waterfalls thundering into deep valleys, the famous First Cliff Walk, and alpine villages that feel like they've been lifted straight from a postcard. Whether you are looking for hiking in Switzerland or the best scenic Swiss train rides, our stories offer real advice for your journey. Switzerland is expensive, but can be budgeted for if you follow some simple travel budgeting tips.
