    Hi everyone!

    I love this forum so much because it’s been a huge help for everyone and people like me visiting Switzerland for the first time.

    My itinerary has changed a bit and may stay in Switzerland a bit longer. I’ve booked accommodation in kandersteg, I wanted to the oeschinese lake but the cable cars won’t be in service when I’m there between the 17 – 20th May.

    besides Blausee and doing a day trip to Zermatt, is there anything else I can do whilst I’m in the area? 😊

    many thank you’s!

    happy to say, I’ve booked the first leg of my trip Interlaken / Lauterbrunnen sorted!

    kindest

    Anastasia

    Hi Ana,

    How about traveling to Spiez and taking a boat trip perhaps on Lake Thun?  There is a lovely gentle walk to be enjoyed whilst there too (https://www.myswissalps.com/blog/hike-faulensee-spiez/)

    Spiez is only 30 minutes or so from Kandersteg.  You can research the train times using the Swiss timetable (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/)

    Boat trip information can be found in the below link:

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda

    Hey Yolanda!

    That sounds like a FAB idea. Have been thinking of visiting spiez- heard it is a gorgeous place. 30 mins isn’t far at all!

    thank you so much 😊 I’ll add to my plan!
