Although there will be significantly less snow in the Summer compared to the Winter! You can stop at each cable car stop and walk around the quaint neighborhood and just stop at the breath-taking views. There are a few small shops in the neighborhood, but no big supermarkets or anything like that. You keep taking cable cars higher and higher and you get the most beautiful views of all the famous mountaintops and lots of great picture moments with the amazing background. Towards the top of the cable car stops, they sell food, drinks, and merchandise. Don't forget to visit the James Bond tower where they did a lot of filming at the tower and the entire scene where they ski down the mountain! TIP: USE YOUR SWISS PASS FOR HUGE DISCOUNTS FOR THE CABLE CAR RIDES. If you don't show the swiss pass when buying tickets, you will be paying a huge premium, the same price everyone without a swiss pass is paying!

We had dropped off our luggage here on our way to jungfrau from montreux. Very cheap. 3 chf per bag. They are open at 6 am to 7:30pm everyday. And the representatives in the travel office provide all the information u need. They were very helpful and friendly. On top of everything the other reason to get off at this station is to explore the beautiful village town.

Taking the tram to the top took a good 20-25 minutes. We beelined for the ice cave which was exciting for the kids, one plays hockey and my girl figure skates so no biggie for them. I on the other hand was super careful not to slip walking on ice. I already broke my coccyx snow boarding once. I wasn't going to do it again at 10k ft elevation. Make sure to wear hiking shoes with good traction. It was very gloomy and cold that day, felt like winter because of the summer storm. We all braved going outside to do the cliff walk but the visibility was no more than 5ft, only my daughter and hubby got to the end of the suspension bridge. It felt like Mt Everest and we only had our last minute parkas and hoodies purchase on so my fingers were frozen popsicles. Our tickets also included the ice flyer but because we were going to be exposed to the frigid temp, we decided to ditch it and cozied up inside the restaurant for some hot cocoa. On our way down we got off Trübsee, explored the lake and got a little too close to the grazing cows, they do stink. Despite the crappy weather, it was an exciting adventure for the family.

While it is expensive, it is worth it, I promise! You will not regret it. There is also so much to do when you get up there. More than just scenery. This Rotair takes you on top of Mt. Titlis where you get to see breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps. When you reach the mountain, they have several (also Free) activities up on the mountain, including 1. Titlis Cliff Walking - you walk between two mountains on a cliff (Free) 2. Glacier Cave (Free) 3. Snow tubing (Free) 4. Ice flyer (Free) 5. Panoramic Ice Hike (free) 6. So many restaurants at each and every stop 7. Lindt Chocolate store / Gelato I would try to go when their are clear skies (no rain) so you can truly appreciate the sky views. You can find a 24hour live web- footage of the Views from the website to see if the skies are clear FYI VERY IMPORTANT - if you are a tourist in Switzerland - consider buying Travel pass when you go based on the number of days you stay. You get several perks of buying the Swiss Pass. 1. With this Pass- you get to ride all trains boats and buses for free. 2.With the pass you also get 50% off all Skylifts/trams taking you up to the mountain tops. FYI if you think you will save money by buying Swiss train tickets individually, you probably wont. The individual price value for a single train ticket is very expensive. Especially if you are going from major cities to country side. You may need to use several trains.

There was no queue for the lift, and it was ready and waiting for us upon arrival one weekend afternoon. The ride was steady and smooth, giving us a gracefully view of the mountains and the valley below. It was fun watching the folks skiing become tiny as we traveled higher up the mountain. There were about 10 passengers in the cable car. We all rode comfortably together. There were seats, but most of us opted to stand to take in the view. Be sure to take out your camera, you'll get some great pictures! Ride time: 5 - 10 minutes.

From the Zurich HB you can take Tram 3 to the Romerhof stop, cross the street and you are the entrance to the Dolderbahn. If you need to buy tickets, don't be confused by the little shop selling gums and candies, just head inside to where you get onto the funicular and purchase the tickets from the automated ticket machine. The Dolderbahn runs about every ten minutes, and there are several stops along the way to the final stop at the top. At the top you will find a Curling events centre and a large outdoor ice skating rink, just follow the brown signs to get to your final destination. I can't wait to head back to the outdoor ice skating rink as it even has a large lighted Christmas tree smack dab in the middle. It is like a Hallmark Christmas movie come to life!

At the top you have 360 views of Appenzell, St. Gallen, Thurgau hills, the Alpstein mountain range, and the extensive Lake Constance region. I recently went to the top with my friend, and at the top there are MANY different hikes that you can start on. We only had a short time so we took a easy 15 minute walk on a easy path through the Wildkirchli Caves. In the caves prehistoric finds have been made and there is a little museum talking about the history of the caves housed in a old hermit dwelling. There were actual hermits that used to inhabit the caves as a place of worship from 1658-1853. At the top there is also a restaurant and guest house with 16 guestrooms. During the winter you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding. Definitely a must if you are in Appenzell and want to enjoy the local beauty. I want to go back when I have more time and can do so more extensive hiking!

The experiences can vary from day to day (and season to season) since there are so many different activities and sights to see in the area. You could really spend a whole week here. We started our journey to Jungfraujoch from the Grindelwald Terminal via the Eiger Express. It's the fastest way to get to Eiger Glacier station. There are some amazing views of Grindelwald and the Eiger during this 15 minute ride. After that, we walked through the main part of town to take in the Alpine scenery all around us. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels decorated with flowering plants. They could all be that beautiful postcard picture with the Swiss chalet and mountain backdrop. It's no wonder why this has become a very popular resort village. Even the views between the houses and shops were amazing. It was a dream come true. A place that we always wanted to visit together. A very happy place!
