Yelp Review 2026 #122:…read more A fun thing to do and an amazing place to visit. I got with a discount for being a Swiss Travel Pass holder. The bus stop is right in front of this place so it's super easy to get to. I got here a few minutes after they opened. So, there were quite a few people without being crowded. Except some of the people who were there were obnoxiously loud and it echoes through the cave. There are signs posted to be quiet but some people choose to ignore signs. There are parts that are a bit slick, some parts you have to bend a little bit as the ceiling is low, there are steps and stairs, it's chilly since it's a cave. Si, be sure to bring a jacket and wear the right shoes. Be mindful of those with mobility issues, they might have to wait for you at the restaurant (it's still a steep trek though) while you tour the cave. A lot of people would take breaks on the way to the entrance. Bring water. Each part of the cave is numbered so just follow the numbers - however the arrows can be confusing. I got to number 18 and didn't know where to go I ended going back to where I came from so I walked back to 18, walked the opposite direction and made it to 19-22 before exiting. "According to a legend, St. Beatus lived here in the 2nd century, who was believed to be one of the Irish messengers of the faith. After his arrival, Beatus is said to have driven away the dragon dwelling in the cave and then settled there to preach the teachings of Christianity and heal the sick." You'll see St. Beatus' cell, stalactites, stalagmites, and grottoes. You can have a nice view of Lake Thun from here.

WOOOOW! Absolutely incredible experience. The caves themselves are stunning. They were full of…read morebeautiful grottos, unique rock formations, and breathtaking scenery throughout. The views from the top and outside are truly magical, overlooking a massive lake that makes the entire visit feel surreal. QUICK heads-up... there is quite a bit of walking and many steps, and some areas can be slippery, so it may not be ideal for anyone with limited mobility. That said, if you're able to do the walk, it's 100% worth it. A truly beautiful and memorable experience.

Can't miss this church walking along the river. Inside is the usual high high ceilings, reliefs,…read moreand some stellar stained glass. It's about 3 meters to the top- (about $3) tickets available on site - no rez required. Stairs! First level a killer, you & your backpack will have a hard time navigating the tiny twisty stairs. Thankfully, there's a couple rest stops, one even has chairs by the windows, bring a book- or rest- pretending to be looking for something in your bag. There are eight windows on top with stunning views. Minus one star because they closed off the balconies, making it impossible to see past the 4' + decorative concrete barrier, except for snippets through the medallions. All in all, a worthwhile stop, but photographers will have to look for another vantage point.

Such a great way to see Gimmelwald, Murren and the summit of the Schilthorn. When you arrive, you…read morehave the option to going to any or all of the stops. This was by far the easiest way of getting to Gimmelwald or Murren without hiking and it is the only way to the summit of the Schilthorn. The cable car takes about 6 minutes to get to Gimmelwald and about 12 to Murren. The summit is a 30 minute ride. You will need to stop at each stop and transfer to another cable car to go up higher. Buying tickets was easy and the associates speak multiple languages. We took the cable car to Murren and it was €22 round trip. We were also able to get off in Gimmelwald for a peek around the village. The staff are very friendly and each station has restrooms and are clean. The cars are a less than 20 minute drive from Interlaken on a beautiful mountain road. Try out this cable car and you won't be disappointed.

We had an excellent time at Schiltorn!! Truly Breathtaking views of the mountain…read more The cable cars are truly worth it in order to see the views of the Swiss Alps. You won't regret paying the money. You just can't appreciate the beauty of these mountains until you get up there. You can buy your ticket for the cable car at the local train station or at the park. There is more to do than just look at beautiful scenery 1. Cliff walking (Free) 2. impressive, modern, interactive, fun James Bond exhibition to commemorate the making of part of the 1967 OHMSS 007 movie (Free) 3. Several restaurant 4. Rotating 360 degree Restaurant Check the weather forecast, as there's no point in going up if the mountains if they are covered in clouds. I would try to go when there are clear skies (no rain/clouds), 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. Snow blindness is also very real. Bring your sunglasses and sunscreen. 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.

Yelp Review 2026 #116:…read more Staubbach Falls look like a page from a fairytale book. It's stunning and dreamlike. Lauterbrunnen is famous for having 72 waterfalls. Taking the train from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, this is the first waterfall you'll see. You'll see 2 smaller ones within a quarter to half mile hike. You'll see flowers and lots of cows. The best angle is actually when you first see the waterfall. Not when you get closer or take a picture in front of it. It looks bigger from the side. There's a climb using stairs that would lead you to get closer to the waterfall. It's crowded and a lot of slow climbers. Be sure to eat before or after you start venturing to the other waterfalls. There are plenty of options between Staubbach Falls and the train station.

It's an easy walk from the village, which makes it accessible for all ages, and there's a short path that lets you get closer for an amazing view (and a little splash!). There are also several other less famous falls in the area as well as cows grazing in the field if you walk or bike into the village. The surrounding scenery is unreal: green meadows, steep cliffs, and charming Swiss chalets everywhere you look. It's peaceful, awe-inspiring, and perfect for photos.

Once at the top, the 360° views are jaw-dropping -- snow-capped peaks in every direction, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The attractions at the summit, including the James Bond-themed elements, add a fun and unique touch without taking away from the natural beauty. Dress warmly, even in summer. There was a long line. We decided not to eat at Piz Gloria, to manage our time with sightseeing. But we were able to get in the restaurant and wander around inside to see the food they serve and the views all around without any issue. Half thrill walk was closed due to construction - disappointing.

This direction of travel through made our trip all down stairs. If you enter the other way (from the entrance where you pay (5.50 each), you'll be going up a bit of short, steep stairs.

And if you fancy a bit more of a hike we found that loop trail to be great beginning to end.
