Did you know…

You could spend hours per day trying to navigate trains, buses, cable cars, boats, and funiculars in the Jungfrau Region, totally cramping your adventurous/relaxing vacation style. 

Or worse, you’d completely miss out on must-see attractions because you don’t know how to structure your days.

BUT HOLD ON — A LOT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU EVEN ARRIVE IN SWITZERLAND!

Grindelwald Switzerland Aplins in the Alps

Scribbling notes on scraps of paper while watching videos

Pinning destinations and restaurants onto your Google Map

Saving pins, posts, and reels to a digital travel planning board

Highlighting and dog-earing a travel guide book

→ Can you wrangle those into a realistic itinerary?

Sure, you could hodgepodge those paper scraps and digital bookmarks into a plan and still have a great trip to Switzerland…but you’d be missing out on so much to maximize your experiences, minimize your planning time, and stretch your budget!

Hi! If you’re new around here, we’re Jana + Brett.

And we LOVE Switzerland.

We’ve spent more than 6 months traveling this small but incredible country. We first came on our 2-week honeymoon, then we came back for 10 days, then 1 month, 2 months, 3 months — do you see the trend?

After spending multiple summers living in the Swiss Alps near Interlaken, we quickly realized there’s a lack of high-quality travel content about Switzerland. 

→ Not just a list of what to do, but how to actually do it. 

So that’s why this 1-Week Guide to the Swiss Alps is passionately created to help you travel Switzerland with confidence to MAXIMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCES, MINIMIZE YOUR PLANNING TIME, and STRETCH YOUR BUDGET.

Join the 30,000+ subscribers on YouTube, 6,000+ travelers in our inbox, and hundreds of customers who have trusted our advice.


We know you’re already poppin’ pennies into your piggy bank to save up for this trip.

BUYING THIS GUIDE WILL ACTUALLY SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY! Here’s how:

  • Don’t waste hundreds of CHF by not buying our recommended train pass: Numbers don’t lie and we’ve done the math. If you buy our recommended train pass for this exact itinerary, you’ll save 200 CHF per person compared to purchasing individual tickets for every ride, or even 230 CHF compared to purchasing the most commonly marketed train pass in Switzerland. 
  • Don’t waste money on not-worth-it activities: Don’t wonder if an attraction is worth it or not — we’ve done the research for you! Plus, this itinerary earned its badge of approval from the 6 groups who beta-tested it in 2022. 
  • Don’t waste money on overpriced tourist restaurants: After living here for 2+ summers, we’ve discovered some fan-favorite local spots to eat and drink. That means you won’t have to settle for top-dollar, mediocre restaurants geared toward tourists.
  • Don’t waste hours preparing: Your pocketbook won’t mind spending a few bucks on this guide to save you hours (…weeks! …months!) of travel planning time, not to mention stress!

For comparison, the cost of the 1-Week Guide to the Jungfrau Region is roughly equal to:

  1 average dinner for one person in Switzerland (drinks and dessert NOT included!)

5 or 6 slices of local Swiss cheese from a self-service farm fridge

1 roundtrip funicular ticket to Harder Kulm

Is this Guide right for me?

Tap the “Buy now” button if:

  • You need help deciding where to go in Switzerland, but know you want to gaze at the glorious Swiss Alps.
  • You want help planning your time and narrowing down decisions.
  • You don’t know where to stay…Interlaken? Grindelwald? Lauterbrunnen Valley?
  • You appreciate a done-for-you itinerary that still leaves wiggle room to personalize your own experiences.
  • You are hoping for advice on the can’t-miss attractions and must-do activities.
  • You prefer eating at recommended restaurants instead of leaving it up to chance.
  • You know a Swiss train pass will save you money, but don’t know which one is best for your itinerary.

This Guide is not right for you if:

  • You crave spontaneously exploring and finding things on your own. 
  • You aren’t looking to see the best of the Swiss Alps.
  • You’re only going to be in the Jungfrau Region for 1-3 days. (Hint: We have other guides for that!)
  • You’re looking for a budget guide to spend as little money as possible on your trip.
  • If that’s you, don’t worry — we have plenty of free resources and videos that will still help you out!

Still have questions? We have answers!

✔️Should I purchase this 1-Week Guide to the Jungfrau Region and another Swiss Travel Guide in the Jungfrau Region?

In our opinion, that’s not necessary. This is our most comprehensive guide to the region! It includes our 1-Day Guide to Mürren and most (but not all) of our 3-Day Guide to Grindelwald. So if you’re spending at least 5 days in the Jungfrau Region, this will be the best Switzerland itinerary for you!

✔️ When is the best time of year to visit?

This guide is best for trips mid-May thru Mid-October, although many of the activities can also be enjoyed outside of those months. 

✔️ Which train pass should I choose?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that 50% of the questions we get asked are about Swiss train passes and public transportation. This guide specifies which train passes are best if you follow this exact itinerary, and also explains where to buy them and how to use them. But one thing is certain: not buying a Swiss rail pass is usually like throwing Swiss francs in the garbage. So don’t skip that section of the guide!

✔️ Will this itinerary work for families with children?

Yes! Although we don’t have children of our own, we are an Aunt and Uncle to 9 nieces and nephews, so we get what it’s like to be with kids of all ages, from infants to teens. In this guide, we mention when a destination has a playground — which is pretty common — and sometimes we offer alternative suggestions if that activity isn’t ideal for young kids. 

✔️ How much should I budget?

University students taking a backpacking trip are gonna spend differently than a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. So the budget question is sticky, but this guide provides a Bonus “How to Budget” PDF with cost estimates and budget tips.  

✔️ What if I’m older or have limited mobility?

Switzerland is not just for the young and fit and physically active. In fact, Jana’s mom had both of her knees replaced a few years ago and still filled her whole week in the Swiss Alps with mild activities. When we talk about hikes or walks in this guide, we mention if it’s paved, flat, steep, and how long it is. And most of the time we explain how you could bypass the walk and use transportation to get to the next stop on our itinerary instead. Nearly all transportation is equipped for wheelchairs as well. So limited mobility shouldn’t hold you back.

✔️ What if this itinerary doesn’t exactly fit my trip?

While our guides are carefully crafted to fit together like puzzle pieces, you’ll gain a ton of benefits even if you have something different in mind. Each day is basically its own itinerary, meaning you can follow some days but not the others, choose parts of each day to enjoy while doing something else with the rest of your time, or simply use the guide as a reference while you craft your own personalized itinerary.

And don’t forget, our shop currently has 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day Guides…with more options and destinations in Switzerland coming soon!
