Awesome video! What month were you there? :)

Hi! How was the temperature at night on the campsite? Wasn't it too cold to sleep comfortably in a tent? Thanks for the video!

😂 “if you don’t want to spend money, you can see people spending money”
Love this video, will be in Switzerland in 2 days so the tips will come in handy. 😻

Did you only take 1 shirt to save on baggage and laundry costs too?

I will be in Interlaken 4th week of June 2023 so this vlog really helps me in planning. Good work guys!

Beautiful weather! Great Tips! Me and my family will be there late April. Thank you so much for sharing " )

This is the perfect travel vlog that I have come across as I plan my Switzerland trip in May. Thank you!

Which month did you guys travel. The weather looks perfect.

what time does the sigriwil suspension bridge open?

Warning- these videos are addictive

The prices are high but it's not everything. If you intend to stay longer there (months), you can rent a nice apartment around Interlaken for almost one third of what it would cost you in e.g. the San Francisco Bay Area (where I live). And I'm not even talking about San Francisco itself which would be even worse. But for a typical tourist on a short stay the prices of everyday items are high. A couple of tips: (1) whenever you use a credit card, always select the local currency (Swiss francs) when the credit card reader asks you. Don't choose euros or US dollars. The reason is that if you select local currency, it will force the transaction to get through using the international interbank rate which is always the best and not normally available to casual tourist. That's why this selection is usually not the default one on the credit card machine, so watch carefully and push the button specifically requesting the CHF. (2) Don't even think about using trains in Switzerland without purchasing a pass of some sort. I use the HalfFare card (120 CHF for an entire month), it gives you 50% off all transportation: trains, cable cars, funiculars, boats, buses, etc. It practically pays for itself with just one ride to the Jungfraujoch, for example.

Me and husband are planning to go Switzerland next month,we prefer also interlaken, iseltwald and zurich to visit, please can you share some budget tips. Is it advisable to buy a 3 day swiss pass or buses are free for tourist within interlaken?.thanks

My handsome brother 💖

Hey buddy... R u from chennai, India...?

I've just moved to Switzerland and looking for ways to discover the nature with low budget so thanks for some tips here 😊 P.S. when you live here, you get used to things being expensive whicn is not a great thing to get used to 😆

Switzerland is beautiful!

beautiful, inspiring and cheap 😊👌

wow this is a wonderful video... thumbs up ! subbed and liked .... a fellow creator . ///

Great video! Switzerland is a favorite for spectacular beauty. Love, Grindelwald, Gimmewald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, paragliding with AirTime and just wandering. Yes, expensive, but we stay in rental properties, buy our groceries in super markets and we enjoy finding locations to sit down and eat our meals. I mean how can you beat a sunny patch of grass (clean) to sit on, overlooking a massive snow capped mountain and flower filled valley for only the cost of a croissant, salad, cheese from a supermarket right?! No restaurant can boast that type of dining. We have taken trains to many places as well, but do try to find the best Swiss-Rail passes, and that is still expensive, so it is fun to see how you did it with a "declared" budget, so good for you! Enjoy and keep on traveling!

Cycle…it will be free!

😍🥰🥰

Can I know your and your partner full name

Why does the woman on the Thumbnail (in a video about Switzerland (!)) hold two 50€- Notes? This triggers me!
Also I'm living in Thun, that's 30 minutes away from Interlaken. I think Interlaken (the West part) is a bit too touristy, but depending of where you go, is Interlaken quiet good.

A good introduction, thank you and your girlfriend. So beautiful

While the cinematography and presentation are excellent, as one would expect from this channel, I think the content is a bit lacking (no pun intended) and gives a rather wrong impression of Switzerland as an unaffordable country (unaffordable to people who have no money at all - maybe, but that would apply to the majority of European countries, especially their tourist destinations). There are a lot of ways to holiday in Switzerland on a budget without the need to rough it out (unless this is what you want/don't mind to do). I stayed in Brienz two years ago in the Swiss b&b chalet for 60 CHF per night (double room with balcony, own shower and breakfast included) with excellent view over the lake and the mountains (so that would be 30 CHF per person, that's even cheaper than your camping). Regarding the transport, the majority of tourists (unless they don't do their research or don't care about the costs) buy various Swiss travel cards. There is one called Swiss pass (various price for different number of days and probably there are even options for families). It gives free unlimited travel over almost entire Swiss transport network (rails, buses, cable cars and even boats) and 25% discount on the most touristy routes (such as train to Jungfraujoch). This is the answer to your question of how entire families were using that cable car :) There is another one (which you noticed in the video and called 'Halb-tax'). It is what it says on the tin: half-price card. It is what locals use but it's also available to tourists: it's valid for a month and two years ago cost me 120 CHF (maybe would be more now). With it every trip (on buses, trains, cable cars and boats) is 1/2 price, including that aforementioned Jungfrau train (basically taking one train pays off that card). There are a couple of cases where half-price card is not valid (e.g. on some privately/community-owned cable cars and on Glacier Express, but otherwise everywhere around the country, including trains and cable cars in Zermatt to Matterhorn viewing platforms and hiking trails). Then there are additional options of buying tickets for specific time instead of open tickets (the former are cheaper). Then, also, depending on the place you're at, there may be even more freebies. For example in Montreux the entire transport system is free (and it includes not just Montreux but all nearby towns as well, like Vevey) with MontreuxRiviera card (given to you by your host/hotel). That includes steam boats doing a roundtrip on the Swiss side of the Lac Leman (lake Geneva) and train up the mountain to the Rochers de Naye viewpoint. It also includes free entrance to many museums. I'm sure there are other ways to save money in Switzerland, it's just what I found out during research for my trip. I spent 3 weeks in Switzerland two years ago. I hiked (did parts of the Via Alpina Green route), stayed in hotels in B&Bs (and a couple of mountain huts, but those were more expensive than hotels ))) ), visited lots of tourist attractions (Brienzer-Rothorn, Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, Reichenbach fall etc.), extensively used public transport, ate in various cafes and restaurants and all together cost me around £1000 per week (so that would be £142/day, not that much higher than the budget you set in this video). That £1000 included both flights (London-Zurich and Geneva-London), accommodation (and I was travelling alone, so for two people it would be even less per person), food (both bought in supermarkets and cafes/restaurants), including alcohol, and transport. And it could have been even less if not for a couple of unplanned/emergency spendings.

To clarify: The hike they took at the end was not the train ride which costs like CHF 200.- ;) The expensive train ride is to the Schilthorn.

Btw. CHF 20.- for this train ride seems to be expensive, but you have to consider: Every Swiss either has 50% off because he bought a Halbtax (CHF 180.-/year, you can buy this too and it is a really good investment), Children until 16 have automatically 50% off. Many Swiss also have the GA so this ride is 100% off and last but not least: The median salary in Switzerland is about CHF 6800 per month which is about CHF 5600 after tax, health insurance etc. for a single person without children.

You guys both are adorable and funny in your way i am Planning to visit Switzerland and just saw Videos about Interlaken but i wanted to check about my Budget first because as u said everything is very expensive in Switzerland. Love your video by the way its so nuce to watch

Did I hear you right? You had 20 Euros left, you meant 20 Swiss Francs. I thought in Switzerland you had to use Francs or they have changed their rule.

You guys look great together. Have seen lots of travel vlogs but it always comes with the cost.
Great to see you guys make videos to survive on a budget. That gives us the confidence to travel. Loads of ❤️ hope you guys grow as a channel. All the best 🙏

im Indian and my wife is from Switzerland, its good to see both of you :) apart from being expensive its heaven on earth... bon voyage

She got rocked by the train prices at HK 😆😆😆

Excellent

My first ever trip abroad - on a school trip by overnight couchette train - was to Interlaken and the beautiful Bernese Oberland.....and I still love it just as much today as I did then - and still run out of superlatives to describe it!

No words WOW WOW.
