Excellent video. Gonna do the tourist thing at Junfraujoch in April but I've been forewarned thanks to Youtube :)

Good afternoon!
I visited Jungfraujoch in 2019 and I loved this place.
Greetings.

My girlfriend and I traveled to Switzerland recently and your videos helped a lot when shaping our trip. We had a wonderful time! Thank you.

[ernesto]

Thank you for your recommendation, I will reconsider. We will be staying in Grindelwal this June.

I definitely think I’m still going to travel to the Top of Europe. It is expensive and it will probably be extremely busy, but I definitely don’t go to Switzerland every year and it would probably be a once in a lifetime thing and I might as well go since I’ll be in the Lauterbrunnen area anyway. I do love your videos! Ty for all the tips.

The ice palace at Jungfraujoch was really cool and it was fun to go to the top and see all the snow, but I agree it’s really expensive and I went there and couldn’t see anything anyway because of the weather up there! Grindelwald First was absolutely amazing and I’d definitely go there over Jungfraujoch, but I don’t regret going to Jungfraujoch :) and agree Interlaken as a town is nothing compared to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald but it’s a great base!

So relieved…. Made my plans for this October and actually skipped all these places. Making my base in Thun to avoid Interlaken. New subscriber. 🎉

Thanks for the valuable tips as i'm planning to go to Switzerland again soon. Agree that some of the places you mentioned are probably overrated, but they still look beautiful, with or without the video effects. Will avoid the places you said are expensive. I cant imagine the prices as Swiss is already an expensive country
