Summer in Switzerland: advice needed?

Question

I'd like to spend a week of biking and trekking in the Swiss Alps/Lakes but don't know where to start. I've seen fantastic pictures of the Grindenwald region but not sure it's appropriate for what I want. I have a student budget and I'm travelling by myself. Any tips? Thanks.

Answer 1

Try the cube hotel in Savogning, it is pretty cheap with nice surroundings just right for biking and hiking.

And it is a hotel for young people, so even if you are traveling alone you will be able to meet many people there.

Answer 4

You should DEFINITELY do this, although it is not cheap! I love Zermatt especially. The Matterhorn is just the most amazing site and as the whole area is a car free zone, you can walk and bike in peace without fear of being run over. Also I advise you get a Swiss card - it gives you half price on most trains. Unlike the UK, they are very reliable and clean and will get you just about anywhere you want to go. Have fun!

Answer 5

Yes the Grindelwald region will be nice for biking and trekking. There are beautiful places to go up to the mountains from there.

Also about the budget, although Switzerland is a very expensive place, as a student you are quite likely to get soem cheap accomodationa nd also instead of hotels, I would suggest for looking for B6B's and hostels. There are varioud special prices for students as long as you have a student id card as well.
