We recently visited Harder Kulm, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located above the…read morebeautiful town of Interlaken, this panoramic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The journey to the top is an adventure in itself taking a funicular ride from Interlaken up to the summit ( there happens to be a pretty steep hike as well that can take you up there) was smooth, comfortable, and gave us our first taste of the stunning alpine scenery. Once at the top, we were greeted with a 360-degree vista that truly took our breath away. The observation platform is perfect for photos, and we spent quite a while just soaking in the views. We also had a chance to explore the area a little more, with well-maintained paths leading to even more scenic spots around the summit. One of the highlights was the viewing platform's ( also referred to as the two lakes bridge as you get to see the Thun and Brienz lakes) glass floor.Stepping out onto it felt like flying over the town of Interlaken, and it was a thrilling experience. For those who are a bit more adventurous, there also are a couple of hikes around ( one's simple the other being a challenging strenuous hike) where you can feel completely surrounded by nature and mountains. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the warm atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a relaxing day out or an adventure in the mountains, Harder Kulm delivers both in spades. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and it's definitely worth the visit!

The ride up took maybe 10 minutes. Harder Kulm had a restaurant and shop at the top of the mountain. We ended up eating at the restaurant and the food was great.

The visitors certainly fit the clientele the ticket price caters to--mainly wealthy international tourists not looking to do any hiking. This is a great excursion for views, experiencing snow, visiting an ice palace, shopping for souvenirs and getting free chocolate, and if you want to spend more than 2 hours, dining at the self serve or special restaurants, all of which have views. It got quite busy and crowded starting around 10 am which was unfortunate, but at least the first part of our tour was fairly peaceful and there were no lines to take pictures at the viewpoints. To get there, since we stayed in Lauterbrunnen, we rode the train up to Wengen, to Klein Scheidegg, and then the classic red train up to Jungfraujoch. It was quite scenic all the way.

Grotte aux Fees, translated into English means cave of the fairies. This was the first tourist…read more"show" cave in Switzerland open to the public. It is open everyday from March 15th to November 15th, and can be seen for 8 CHF. If you take the train to St. Maurice, you need to take a short walk out of town, and about a 10 minute walk up a hill to see the cave. At the entrance to the cave is a cafe with a nice terrace, you can grab a bite of something to eat. I didn't try the cafe, so not able to provide a review for the food. Once inside the cave you walk through a narrow twisting passage for about 1,500 feet, and as you get closer you can hear the thundering water grow louder. Supposedly there are 63 twists and turns along the passage. I don't remember there being that many, but I do remember their being several. I went during the spring time as the snow was melting, which is the best time to come, as the waterfall is even more impressive. I do remember the passage being wet and needing to be careful to watch out for puddles along the way. After the final twist you come to an opening and I remember being overwhelmed by the size of the large waterfall crashing down inside the cave. The sound of the water was deafening. I wouldn't have been able to hear anyone talking to me in the room. I tried to take pictures inside, but it was very difficult to get a picture of the 50 meter- 77 meter high waterfall (the height seems to be arguable, as I have read different resources claiming different heights). I would definitely come back. The only silly thing is that whoever the current owners are, went and did something stupid. In accordance with the name of the cave, the owners put up barbie doll fairies along the path inside the cave leading up to the waterfall. Thankfully their is no stupid plastic barbie to ruin the beauty of the waterfall, and the waterfall itself erased the memory of the plastic silliness for the duration of time I was admiring the falls.

In 20 minutes you can ride this cable car from Stresa to the top of Mottarone. On the way up,…read moreafter about 10 minutes, you will come to the first station - Alpinia. Here you will find a botanical garden, but not great views due to the tall trees. Definitely continue up with the second cable car to Mottarone. After you reach Mottarone, take the ski lift (included in the cost) to the overlook platform for a great 360 degree view. On a clear day this view is unbeatable. At the top, you will find many possible activities to take part in. I noticed many people renting mountain bikes and taking them with them, many hikers, and there are several adventure type parks with lots of different activities to take part in as well. To find the station you will want to walk from city center along the lake front towards the islands. As you walk along the water front you will come to the station.

Very far from the village, outright unsafe access, failure of basic utilities such as hot water and…read more"gaslighting" by owners if you file a complaint. We stayed here as a family (including a child) and would not book again. It was our fourth year in Saas-Fee and we've always had good experiences there until this year. In fact, if anything was available at the time on short notice (we were there during new years) - I would have paid double in order NOT to stay there. Getting there / finding it was a problem: On arrival there were no taxis available, and in the dark--carrying luggage (and ski gear)--we couldn't find the property as it on the outskirts and very high uphill. We ended up calling several times and exchanging photos just to locate it. That's a bad start, but it got a lot worse. The access path to the property is outright dangerous in winter: The approach to the apartment was basically a vertical sheet ice, part of it a very steep incline followed by a path which was also covered in ice. This was genuinely hazardous--especially if you have a child, heavy bags, or ski equipment (we ticked all those boxes). A winter rental needs safe access. I ended up carrying 40 kilograms of luggage up the slope and falling several times before finally arriving to the appartement. I had hiking boots on. Our bag was totally destroyed as were we arrived. Also our child fell several times during the week that we stayed there. No hot water (and gaslighting by owners when reported): We didn't have hot water for two days on December 31st and January 1st, and couldn't even wash our kid for new years celebration. Initially, the owners brushed us off saying they had not received any complaints from the other apartments. As if we don't know what cold water feels like. The "explanation" we got was basically that there is one boiler shared across three apartments and in "rare cases" you may simply be without hot water until later in the day. What really crossed the line was the communication: instead of owning the issue, it felt dismissive, and came across as gaslighting--as if we were imagining the problem or didn't understand what we were experiencing. We were not asking for a debate; we were asking for a basic utility to work or an immediate solution as we were there with child. Later on the owners admitted that something had gone wrong. They offered us "compensation" in the form of paying the tourist tax (CHF 13,5 in total...). This felt extremely insulting in the light of the fact we paid several thousands for this property for a week. What a mockery. A family holiday in peak season in Saas Fee costs several thousand CHF in addition to the property expenses. Location is far from the slopes/village Be aware: walking to the ski area / village is roughly 30-40 minutes, and the walk back uphill is very heavy, especially if you're carrying groceries or ski gear. Fine if you're training for an alpine ultramarathon, not fine if you're trying to have a normal ski holiday with a child that gets tired after a day of skiing. Taxis are expensive and not always available. They're about CHF 45 per trip if you can get one, but they're not always available. We ended up paying up to CHF 180 per day going to and from the ski area. Property Bedroom and toilet are situated next to each other and separated by a large window, so if you turn on the light at night when going tot the toilet, the light will also be visible in the large family bedroom (all 4 beds are in one room). Expect to be woken up several times a night. Also, there was no sauna in our apartment contrary to the pictures (we did know this upfront).
