Review of Interlaken’s winter kayak tour on Lake Brienz, with dry suits, mountain views, a small group, guide tips, and practical booking advice.
“It was amazing!! We had perfect weather in the afternoon and our guide Andres was incredible. He told us so many interesting facts and brought tea and cookies for our break. The water was gorgeous, the views even better, and Andres took AMAZING pictures. We got the picture less than an hour after we left and over had the best time. 10/10 recommend, definitely worth the price.”
Spend a snowy day from Zurich in Lucerne and Titlis, with beginner skiing, glacier sights, snow tubing, and Alpine views.
“Overall, it was a good experience. The scenery throughout the trip was beautiful, and visiting Lucerne was definitely a highlight, such a charming place to explore with a really scenic route getting there. However, the skiing portion felt quite disorganised. We were only given about an hour for the ski session, and the schedule was tight because we had to head back to the bus shortly after. It also wasn’t clearly explained where we needed to go for the skiing activity, so we ended up having to figure things out on our own. Despite that, the day as a whole was enjoyable, especially the chance to see Lucerne and the…”

Learn beginner snowboarding in Grindelwald with a patient guide, Bodmi lifts, Eiger views, gear, and a small group from Interlaken.
“Activity and location was excellent. Unfortunately the snowboard instructor was not very supportive and willing to offer extra help. Due to large number on the slopes learning was challenging and instructor was not very forthcoming in providing different ways to learn snowboarding if you didn’t pick it up straight away.”
Explore quiet Swiss alpine forests by snowshoe from Interlaken, with equipment, transport, a guide, snacks, and Eiger views.
“This was a wonderful experience. The guides were professional, friendly, and entertaining. The hike itself was quite easy - even as someone who had never snowshoed before! Of course, the views were absolutely stunning. I loved it and would definitely do it again!”
Fly above Jungfrau, Eiger, glaciers, and turquoise lakes on a private 42-minute Swiss Alps helicopter tour from Belp.
“The helicopter tour over the Swiss Alps was an incredible experience and well worth the cost. The check-in process was smooth, safety instructions were clear, and the staff were friendly and professional. Our pilot Oliver was knowledgeable, pointing out major peaks such as the Matterhorn, Jungfrau, and Mont Blanc, and he gave interesting background on the surrounding regions. The flight itself was very comfortable, with large windows providing excellent visibility from every seat. The entire route offered breathtaking views of glaciers, lakes, and mountain villages, and there were plenty of opportunities for photos. The ride felt safe at all times, and noise-cancelling headsets made communic...”

See Mount Titlis from Lucerne by coach and cable car, with glacier caves, Cliff Walk, Ice Flyer, and snow tubing in a six-hour trip.
“The mountain experience is breathtaking and worth the trip. However, we had a few hiccups which was no fault of the tour so be prepared for the following: - 1) the amount of people on the mountain is insane. Even our tour guide said it was mass populated tourism 2) the flow of people is chaotic and there isn't any organisation 3) we had misprinted tickets so the chair lift ride couldn't be accessed by us when it was clearly advertised as being included 4) the rotator cable doesn't have enough handles to hang on to so when it begins to rock people almost fall (like my elderly father did)…”

Review of the Zurich to Lucerne and Mount Titlis day trip, with cable cars, glacier attractions, free time, pricing, and practical tips.
“The van had an inoperable Microphone so we couldn’t understand what little the driver guide had to say. The van’s climate control system was stuck on a temperature that was too warm. You cannot control the weather but you CAN offer last minute deferal and voucher for Viator travel. In summary, the trip was a waste of $400.”
Pick a summit, a lake or a factory.
