Its really a very nice mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, it has white, snow-capped peaks.And the Ice Palace at Jungfraujoch is the highest of its kind in the world .Only seasoned hikers and mountaineers are advised to attempt climbing Mount Jungfrau's steep rock faces. However, you can take a Jungfraujoch railway and explore the multiple activities available to you at Jungfraujoch.
Dreamland - Jungfrau Switzerland in remote Switzerland, there is a fairy tale world like the holy place - Jungfrau. The sun is pouring, and the snow is covered with gold dresses for the year-round. The peaks stand tall and the clouds show their majestic posture. At the foot of the mountain, like a soft carpet of green grass, colorful wild flowers blooming like a picture of nature. The clear lake is like a mirror, reflecting the vastness of the blue sky, the elegance of the white clouds and the magnificentness of the peaks. In the distance, the quaint wooden houses are dotted with stars, scattered in this beautiful scenery, exude a quiet and charming atmosphere, people seem to step into a dreamland isolated from the world.

The dying lion is a famous monument in the Swiss city of Lucerne, a sculpture depicting a seriously wounded lion with a broken spear in the ribs and painfully strung to the ground. The lion's right paw is on a shield engraved with lilies from the French royal family, and the other shield has a Swiss cross. The sculpture is engraved with the Latin "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI" meaning "to the loyal and brave Swiss". Below is a list of the officers killed and surviving, as well as the number of soldiers killed and surviving.

Lake Geneva, which shares the same name as the city, is very vast, with a sapphire-like color and sparkling in the sun. From Geneva Airport, you can take a train to Nyon, a small town on the shore of Lake Geneva. The hotel rooms there are large, and the lake view rooms also have terraces to enjoy the lake view. The breakfast is very rich and cost-effective. From the dock in Nyon, you can take a boat to the French flower town opposite and experience the fun of crossing two countries in half an hour. The price of the flower town is lower than that of Switzerland, and it is very pleasant to enjoy authentic French food there.
I have visited lake Geneva in the Summer and it is one of the nicest spots to hangout and enjoy Switzerland summer vibes. strolling along the flower-lined promenades is a must as it becomes magical during the sunset.

It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. In summer time, you’re almost guaranteed to have great weather. There are multiple paths to hike for more and less experiences trekkers.
Riding the GoldenPass Railway in winter is like stepping into a snow-covered postcard. The train winds through stunning Alpine landscapes, with snow-dusted mountains, frozen lakes, and charming villages. Inside, the warmth and comfort provide a perfect contrast to the crisp winter air outside, and large windows offer unbeatable views of the serene, wintery scenery. Whether you're heading to ski resorts or simply enjoying the views, the GoldenPass in winter offers an unforgettable experience.

The Capel Covered Bridge is one of the landmarks of Lucerne, Switzerland and one of the oldest wooden bridges in the world. It is a wooden covered bridge, 204 meters long and about 2 meters wide. The bridge is in a folded line with a turning point in the middle, which connects the Lucerne Octagon Water Tower. The interior of the bridge is unique, with 110 triangular painted wooden boards hanging from the top depicting the history, myths and saints of Lucerne. These painted boards are works from the 17th and 18th centuries and have high artistic value.
Chapel Bridge in the Rain: A Different Kind of Beauty 🌧️🌉Visiting Chapel Bridge in Lucerne on a rainy day wasn’t the fairytale scene I had imagined, but it had its own charm. The mist over the river, the soft raindrops on the wooden bridge, and the glow of the city lights reflecting on the wet cobblestones made it feel almost dreamlike. Even in the rain, this historic landmark had a quiet, timeless beauty—just with fewer tourists and a more peaceful vibe.#Lucerne #ChapelBridge #RainyDayAdv

The cable car is so stable and the atmosphere on the mountain is great. There are different things to do in different seasons.
In addition, the sky is very straight. People who are not afraid of heights must try to check in. The nature is really beautiful.
One of the most beautiful places in Switzerland, the scenery is much more beautiful than the scenery seen at the top of Jungfrau. Take the cable car to the first mountain station and then hike. The scenery along the way is amazing. You can participate in various fun activities when you get off.

Lake Lucerne is really nice. When the weather is good, you can see the snow-capped mountains. Unfortunately, we stayed there for three days, and the weather was good only when we arrived in the evening of the first day, so we didn't take advantage of it.
The buildings by the lake, the Ferris wheel, and the Flower Bridge Water Tower are simply too beautiful to take in. The boat ride to Weggis is even more beautiful.
Perfect travel itinerary, children have discounts, we remember to buy travel Passed, can have ️ half price discount! Sprinkler shop can help buy tickets ... take the car to buy cable car up the mountain to see the scenery, children also have many activities!

Iconic 11th-century castle by Lake Geneva

Take the train to Montreux and stroll along the shore of Lake Geneva. Beyond the water are the snow-capped mountains, stretching quietly. Chillon Castle is on a small stone island near the water. It is not big, but it takes you back to medieval Europe. It is worth a visit.
The adult ticket for Chillon Castle is 15 Swiss francs, the student ticket is 12.5 Swiss francs for Swiss Army, the child ticket (6-15 years old) is 7 Swiss francs, and the family ticket is 35 Swiss francs (2 adults + 1-5 children). It is free for those with Swiss pass, and you can also get the Chinese introduction of the scenic spot at the place where you buy the ticket. There is a Chinese audio guide, which needs to be paid for 6 Swiss francs.
The castle stands on the lake, facing the water on three sides, and you can see different sea views from the windows of the rooms in the castle. It takes about 2 hours to walk around the castle and take pictures. There is also a souvenir shop in the castle, where we also bought celebrity photos and stamps. I have to say that it is convenient to buy stamps in Switzerland, unlike some European countries that often have celebrity photos but no stamps.
If you want to take pictures of the castle, you have to go out and take pictures. The online guide says that you can take pictures on both sides. We are too lazy to walk, so we went in the direction where there are more tourists and took a few panoramic pictures of the castle. You can also take a panoramic picture of the castle on the panoramic train, but we used a mobile phone, and the pixel is too low.

Engelberg-Titlis is a breathtaking alpine paradise that stole my heart! The panoramic views from the rotating cable car are absolutely unforgettable. From snow-covered peaks to thrilling glacier activities, every moment felt magical. The Titlis Cliff Walk offered an adrenaline rush with stunning scenery. Engelberg village, with its charming vibes and cozy cafés, added a peaceful touch to the adventure. Whether you're a nature lover or thrill-seeker, this destination is a must-visit.
It was raining, but the cable car was still very powerful and comfortable. I stayed in the town below Titlis, which was also very convenient to drive to in 5 minutes.
The electronic ticket I bought was also very convenient, just scan the code and use it

There were many chocolates on sale at reasonable prices, and it was fun just to look at them. There was also a model of a factory where you could see the manufacturing process.
It was a trip to Switzerland with family and we visited Lindt Factory Outlet Kilchberg. it was very fun and we really enjoyed it and love the atmosphere there
