🇨🇭 Skyline & Thrill Walk @ Birg

Located 2677 metres above sea level, Birg is one of the intermediate cable car stations from Stechelberg to Schilthorn, one of the summits in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. Often missed by most visitors who head straight to the summit, Birg is actually the starting point for hikes and the centre of the skiing area for all levels. If you are a thrill seeker like me, you definitely should not miss the Skyline Walk and Thrill Walk in Birg. The Skyline Walk starts from the sun terrace at Birg. Walk further out and you will be at the observation deck which is an extension of the terrace constructed from steel and reinforced glass with a grated floor. It is a great vantage point to enjoy the alpine scenery. Those who are physically fit and not afraid of heights can head to the entrance to the Thrill Walk which is at the other side of Skyline Walk. The Thrill Walk involves climbing stairs which lead down into the perpendicular walls of the imposing rock massif. The 200-m walk also features a crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed floor and tightrope walking. Don't worry about safety, there is a steel net below the tightrope. 😆 Admission to the Thrill Walk is free of charge. #thingstodo #switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #schilthorn #birg #walk #snowview #thrill #tripblazers #viewpoint #skyline #thrillseeker

🇨🇭 Spy World @ Schilthorn Piz Gloria

Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". From October 1968 to May 1969, the Schilthorn was the main filming location for the movie. Located at the lower floor of Piz Gloria, Spy World houses a James Bond exhibition containing memorabilia, film clips and interactive displays related to the film. We managed to catch a glimpse of the original screenplay and even got to sit in the bobsleigh used in the film. The highlight of the museum is a helicopter simulator flight in the original chassis of the decommissioned Air Glaciers Alouette III. #thingstodo #switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #museum #schilthorn #pizgloria #jamesbond #spyworld #summit #tripblazers #exhibition

🇨🇭 007 Walk of Fame @ Schilthorn

Piz Gloria at the summit of Schilthorn got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". In addition to Spy World museum, a new and larger exhibition, called "007 Walk of Fame", was opened in July 2015 on the Schilthorn ridge to pay tribute to the cast and behind-the-scenes contributors to the iconic James Bond movie. The Walk of Fame consists of 15 information panels featuring George Lazenby, who played James Bond in the film, and members of the film crew. Each panel features a photo, signature, handprint in steel and a personal message. Walking on the ridge was quite a challenge especially during winter due to the strong wind and heavy snow. It's definitely worth a walk nonetheless as the ridge is an excellent vantage point for taking in the spectacular alpine scenery. #hiddengems #switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #schilthorn #pizgloria #jamesbond #snowview #walkoffame #tripblazers #viewpoint

🇨🇭 360° Viewing Platform @ Schilthorn

#hiddengems After a long 2.5-hour journey to the Schilthorn summit from Interlaken train station, we were greeted by spectacular alpine scenery straight out of postcards. At the summit, Piz Gloria stands 2,970 metres above sea level surrounded by more than 200 alpine peaks. Walk out of the building to Skyline View platform, which is an outdoor observation deck that provides a 360-degree view of the Swiss Alps. It's an excellent vantage point for taking in the stunning landscapes of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. On clear days, you can even see as far as the Black Forest in Germany or the Mont Blanc massif in France! #switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #schilthorn #pizgloria #jamesbond #snowview #summit #tripblazers #viewpoint

🇨🇭 Revolving Restaurant on the Alps

Have you ever dined in a revolving restaurant located at the summit in the Alps? We had an unforgettable experience dining at Piz Gloria 360° Restaurant built 2970 m above the sea level at Schilthorn, one of the summits in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The restaurant offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The restaurant completes a full rotation approximately every 45 minutes, providing visitors with constantly changing views. #hiddengems #switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #revolvingrestaurant #restaurant #schilthorn #pizgloria #jamesbond #snowview #summit #tripblazers

🇨🇭 From Interlaken to Schilthorn 🗻

#hiddengems The Schilthorn (2,970 metres) is one of the summits in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland where one can reach without having to hike up the mountain. It took us 2.5 hours to reach Schilthorn where the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant is located from Interlaken train station after multiple train, bus and cable car rides. We first took a train from Interlaken OST to Lauterbrunnen. The journey took approximately 20-25 minutes. From Lauterbrunnen we took bus 141 to Stechelberg, the starting point of a series of 4 cable car rides before reaching the summit. We bought the cable tickets online beforehand to avoid the queue. The ticket costs CHF42.80 per pax with Swiss Travel Pass (usual price CHF108). The intermediate stations include Gimmelwald, Mürren and Birg. The cable car ride provides impressive views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and surrounding peaks. It was quite hard to take good pictures though as the rides were quite crowded and we had to stand throughout the ride. #switzerland #swiss #cablecar #alps #schilthorn #interlaken #summit #train #lauterbrunnen #stechelberg #tripblazers

🇨🇭 Charming Lucerne's Old Town

#hiddengems Lucerne is a city in central Switzerland located on the shore of Lake Lucerne. Even if you only have a few hours in Lucerne, it's enough to explore its old town as it is compact and can be easily explored on foot. Lucerne's charming and well-preserved old town is rich in history and offers a picturesque setting along the shores of Lake Lucerne. Starting from Lucerne train station, walk along the waterfront towards Chapel Bridge, a 14th century wooden bridge which is also one of Lucerne's most iconic landmarks. Take a stroll across Chapel Bridge and you will reach the other side of the old town. You can continue walking uphill towards the Musegg Wall, a well-preserved medieval city wall with nine towers. Visitors can walk along a section of the Musegg Wall and enjoy panoramic views of Lucerne, Lake Lucerne, and the surrounding mountains. #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #mountainview #cityview #oldtown #musegg #bridge #panorama #lake #luzern #tripblazers

🇨🇭 Cruise across Lake Lucerne

#hiddengems After a brief visit to Mount Rigi, we took the cogwheel train to Vitznau, a lakeside town on the shores of Lake Lucerne. We checked the ferry schedule beforehand so that we could catch the ferry at the right timing. The view of Lake Lucerne from the dock was breathtaking. The journey from Vitznau to Luzern via a ferry on Lake Lucerne provides a relaxing and leisurely way to enjoy the beauty of the region. There are seating areas on the open deck and inside the ferry. As we cruised across Lake Lucerne, we were treated to panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, charming lakeside villages, and the serene waters of Lake Lucerne. #Switzerland #swiss #boat #luzern #lucerne #boattrip #lake #vitznau #ferry #rigi #alps #tripblazers

Innsbruck - surreal Alpine town

We crossed the border from Germany to Austria and stayed in Innsbruck for the night. Innsbruck turns out to be our favourite town in this trip! We didn't plan to stop here at first but luckily we added it in to our road trip. The alpine town is so beautiful and surreal with the Austrian Alps backdrop. We hope to be back again some day! #alps #innsbruck #austria #alpine

Rigi - Queen of the Mountains

Mount Rigi is also known as the Queen of the Mountains in Switzerland. We were blessed with lovely clear weather and could see the spectacular panoramic views all around. One of our favourite places in this trip! How to get there: We started our excursion to Mt Rigi with a scenic steamboat ride across Lake Lucerne to Vitznau. Then we took the cogwheel up to Rigi. #Rigi #switzerland #alps #mountain

Hike in the Italian Alps!

Get up from Cedrasco, a little mountain town close to Sondrio (Valtellina) you will be able to book a place called “Rifugio rododendro” for 10 € pp a night. Beautiful experience if you can take your pet with you. If you hike at the right season towards the peak you will be able to buy fresh milk and ricotta from the local farmers that take their cows up the mountain and might even get to find some mushrooms 🍄#alps #italy #Sondrio

I see trees of green ♪

Beautiful alpine village nestled in the mountains with an amazing view of the Jungfrau valley and Lauterbrunnen down below. Taking the train up to Wengen will guarantee you a lovely view of Lauterbrunnen. The village has shops, attractions and amenities within walking distance. Though, if you do decide to get a resort/hotel further up, be sure to ask for shuttle cars, the upwards slopes are no joke. Our hotel had a lovely view of the cable car rides up to Männlichen, the street below and at night- if you’re willing to stand in the 14 degrees cold (even in summer) you can get a good picture of the night sky! Of course, we couldn’t stay in Wengen without visiting Männlichen and her famous Royal Walk- a short hike of 1.7km, with elevations up to 80-120m up/down, grants you a truly breathtaking panoramic view. ((the gravel paths can be a bit slippery so be careful on the way down)) The trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg was an overall downhill walk with a view of Grindelwald down below and the snow capped mountains. But before you embark on this trail be sure to either get something to eat or drink (and the WC of course) at Männlichen as it is quite a long walk (about 4.7km). Near the midpoint you can see Eiger! A truly memorable walk with amazing scenery of the town below and mountains all around us. Truly a scenic paradise with plenty of activities to do, whether you prefer to simply enjoy the views or try out some of their more thrilling activities. It was my first time visiting Switzerland but certainly won’t be the last!#switzerland #summervacation #nature #alps

Best viewpoint in Lucerne 🇨🇭 during winter

One of the most iconic landmarks that you should not miss in Lucerne is the Musegg Wall built in the 14th century. It is about 15 minutes walk from Lucerne train station. As the wall is located on a hill so be prepared to climb stairs and slopes. There are 9 watchtowers along the 870-m long city wall, 4 of which are open to public (free admission) during non-winter months. We were not able to walk on the city wall as we visited during winter so we explored the area inside the city wall. A local that we met suggested that we walked along the outer wall to have a great view of the city. We were indeed greeted with panoramic views of Lucerne city with a backdrop of Lake Lucerne and Swiss Alps as we explored the area outside the wall. Make sure to climb the watch towers if you visit during summer as I'm sure the views from the watch towers will be even more spectacular! #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #mountainview #cityview #viewpoint #musegg #wall #panorama #lake #luzern #tripblazers

Alps Scenic Train

#switzerland One of the greatest train rides in the world, the Goldenpass trainfrom Interlaken to Montreaux brings you along magnificent landscapes. Staring from rolling hills, the train climbs into the tall peaks of the Alps, visiting charming towns like Gstaad. The train ride lasts around three hours, and passengers will be rewarded with magnificent views of snow, grazing cows, tiny charming villages and much more. From Montreaux, lake Geneva beckons with stunning views across the water. #alps #snow #couplestrip #love #mountains

Dining at 360° Restaurant 2970m abv sea level

What better way to celebrate special occasions with your loved ones than dining at a 360-degree revolving restaurant on top of a mountain surrounded by spectacular alpine scenery straight out of postcards? We spent a memorable Christmas day on the Schilthorn summit - Piz Gloria located at 2,970 metres above sea level. Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known for being the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It took us 2.5 hours to reach Schilthorn from Interlaken train station after multiple train, bus and cable car rides. Do make advance reservation if you do not want to miss the James Bond brunch buffet at Schilthorn - Piz Gloria 360°-Restaurant which is quite reasonable priced at CHF 35 per adult. Despite having no advance reservation, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to dine at the 360° revolving restaurant. Thankfully the restaurant allowed walk in customers after the buffet lunch ended at 2 pm. It was really an amazing and eye-opening experience to watch the mountain scenery glide by while enjoying our food. It took 45 minutes for the restaurant to rotate 360° around its own axis. #valentinescape #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #revolvingrestaurant #restaurant #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #tripblazers

Winter Break that‘s worth it 🥰

#CelebrateWithTrip Getting energy reserves before going back to school after Christmas is recommended! Our one week holiday in Bernau, Chiemsee is sooo worth it! We stayed in Hotel Farbinger Hof which is located at Rottauer Street 75 in Bernau Chiemsee. We went there by car though Chiemsee is also accessible by train from any part in Germany. We booked our hotel room with breakfast and dinner and it was affordable. The hotel has wide range of food choices in both breakfast and dinner. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. For non-german speakers, no need to worry! The staff speak different languages including english. #chiemsee #january #mountain #alps #germany #europe

Bregenz, Austria

#celebratewithtrip Bregenz is a city in Austria where we will also find the part of Lake Constance, since the lake boarders Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Bregenz has a nice port and a beautiful prominade along the lake. It was a relaxing time when we went to Bregenz. The city was so calm which was so different from the cities that I know. The view at the lake was breathtaking. Looking at the water made me feel relaxed and calm especially on that long drive from Frankfurt. It was a very worthwhile visit. #bregenz #austria #lakeconstance #bodensee #alps

Alpen Gästehaus

#CelebrateWithTrip One of the apartments that we rented during our road trip around the Alps was the Alpen Gästehaus in Bad Kohlgrub a 40 minutes drive from Garmisch-Partenkirchen center. A simple apartment that caters to all the basic needs for an overnight stay. It has a cute kitchen, so we were able to make some instant ramen and we also had the chance to re-heat our leftover food. The apartment was cozy, the beds were comfortable and the apartment was spacious enough for 4 people. The price that we paid was reasonable and breakfast was included. The breakfast was composed of bread, cheese, cold cuts, boiled eggs, different flavoured yoghurt, different cereals, tomatoes, cucumbers different juices, milk, coffee and tea. It was more than enough to fill our stomach and recharge our energy for the day. The owner who served our breakfast was very friendly and very approachable. Alpen Gästehaus is a nice place to stay especially for ski holidays because it is near the skiing spots in the alps. #alpengästehaus #badkohlgrub #autumnbreak #holiday #roadtrip #ferienwohnung #alps #garmisch-partenkirchen #bavaria #germany #europe

Autumn Treat Autumn Break

#fallingforfall Autumn break has come and it‘s time for me to set back and relax! Leaves start to fall preparing for the winter to come. We were lucky with the weather for it was warm and sunny 😎 Walking along the park, after we checked-in to our hotel, to relaxed from a long drive. Sitting on the bench while looking at the colourful leaves and trees around us and just enjoying the quietness of the area is a kind of treat! It made me really happy to be able to feel the joy the nature that gave me. Surrounded with beautiful trees, colourful leaves and hills inside this quiet park was indeed relaxing. We were able to stretch our legs and had some time to have some funny, serious and non-sense conversations. Recharging our energy before going back to work next week was the best part of this trip! #tripblazers #badkohlgrub #germany #alps #europe #autumnbreak #autumn #october #backpacking #roadtrip

#spooktaculartrip #fallingforfall #tripblazers On our way to Zugspitze on the Austrian side, we passed by these beautiful places full of wonderful view. We drove from Frankfurt and wanted to go to Zugspitze. The mountains were so mesmerizing to look at and there was even a castle on the top! We did not have the chance to go out and see the castle since we wanted to buy our ticket to Zugspitze so we hurried up! We tried to book online but for any reason it did not worked out. We took our chance to go to Eibsee station to buy tickets but unfortunately, it was all for that day, only the ticket holders can hop on the train to go to the top of the Zugspitze! Instead of being disappointed, we decided to buy tickets for the next day and all is well 😊 We drove back to our hotel and since I was not the driver, I took the opportunity to enjoyed the view outside and took some photos to share with you ❤️ #autumnbreak #holiday #mountain #mountainview #alps #alpen #zugspitze #reutte #austria #tirol # germany #deutschland

Road trip through Slovenian Alps

The gigantic Lake Bled is perhaps the most beautiful place in Slovenia. Do a road trip with the Nissan X-Trail for example and discover the pine trees and cliffs. You can take phenomenal photos of the blue-green water surface all year round. In the background are the Julian Alps. A real eye-catcher is the island in the middle of the lake with a beautiful church. On the banks, the castle of Bled will attract attention. In the middle of the Slovenian Alps, nature is given free rein. The impressive Lake Bohinj proves that. This green oasis is hidden between the imposing mountains and treats you to one overwhelming view after another. You discover the valley on foot, by bike or on horseback. #fallingforfall #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #roadtrip #roadtrips #slovenia #naturewonders #alps #lakebled #bled #bohinj #oasis #julianalps

Hotel Maso Col is a Hotel, with a cafè and a great restaurant not open only to the hotel clientele but also with space reserved for anyone who enjoys a great gastronomic experience. Surrounded by wide meadows and luxuriant woods, at the foot of the imposing Pale di San Martino on the southern side of the Dolomites, is "Maso Col". The current family that owns it started in 1921 with a glass of freshly milked milk or a little fresh water to refresh the first "travelers" on their Dolomites. In 1961 their malga cheeses, “el bòtiro”, cream with small fruits, grilled meats, polenta, “Tosela”, mushrooms and homemade desserts such as strudel were discovered; summer at "Caffè Col" became a rendezvous in the sun in the green, in winter a sled race. In 2006 they fulfilled the dream of a lifetime and added eight new comfortable rooms, warm and enveloping wooden environments, a particular attention to typical cuisine, directly cured and strong of a long experience and peasant tradition. Their kitchen offers traditional Trentino and Primierotta dishes, with particular attention to genuine and homemade products with love and passion. Truly a pleasure each time #tripaway #deliciousfood #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer #alps #tripaway #dolomites #mountain #awesomepic #foodieheaven #tripfoodie

Chamonix, France is a resort area near Switzerland and Italy. It sits at the base of the highest summit in the Alps, Mount Blanc. When we finally made it to the top of the mountain, we were greeted with snow and fog. On a clear day, you would normally see massive peaks and breathtaking views of the town below. Though we didn’t get the spectacular views, we were still able to see some amazing cliffs and explore a bit of the buildings and restaurants that sit on a lower peak of the mountain. #awesomepic #france #alps #scenicspotguide #beautifulpics #travelinspiration #awesomepic
