Hello bear2019, welcome to MySwissAlps! Let’s have a look at your itinerary:
As for train traveling: information about your journey to Paris and the according train tickets is listed at myswissalps.com/traint ickets/france. You’ll probably want to use a rail pass for your days in Switzerland. An 8 day Swiss Travel Pass (myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass) would be the most convenient option, but whether it’s an economical choice for you should be calculated as explained at myswissalps.com/train/ ticketspasses/practica l/chooserailpass.
I can’t find any attachment, so I don’t know which Swiss village you’re referring to. Can you try again?

Hi Bear2019,
It is for sure in the Bernese Oberland, and could very well be Kandersteg considering the railway yard in the background.

Have you considered a 6-day Regional Pass Bernese Oberland with a Saver Day Pass for day 1? Not saying it’s the best option but worth a look.

i read forum, and found out early June that it is still snow and probably not possible to hike. i plan to do simple hiking Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. Will be there from 2nd june to 6th june. is it possible? really hope for good weather when we visit later.

Hi Bear2019,
You’ll have a good chance in early June, but no guarantee. It depends on the weather the coming weeks. Hope for the best but do plan for alternatives too 🙂

i don’t have any alternatives plan yet, have to do one now 🙁 Thanks for the advice.
For weather forecast, will this site (http://www.srf.ch/meteo/) is the accurate one?
Thanks again .

hi expert, should i consider the following activities.
I have difficult time to decide place to go and taking weather as consideration. as per previous comment we will base in Lauterbrunnen-
1. Kandersterg over Luzern? should i skip Luzern
2. mountain trip, is this sufficient?
Schynige Platte, Männlichen to KS, Schilthorn, Murren and Grinderwald to First
3. Gelmerbahn up to Gelmersee. The steepest train, is it worth effort to go here since it is far?
4. Boat trip in Lake brienz and aare gorge, and trip around Interlaken.
5. The Planetenweg trail. Is it possible in first week of June?
6. All of above, is it too pack or i can include more activities. will be in Lauturbrunnen for 6 days, then will go to Basel.
7. should i bring rain jacket? i cannot imagine how rain season looks like in Switzerland. Im from tropical country, if raining season it is raining cats and dogs.
For travel pass, i have bought 8 days Swiss Travel Pass and i have calculated this is the best for us.
Thank you once again.

Hi Bear2019,
Some answers to your questions:
1. If you prefer nature, Kandersteg is the way to go. However Lucerne is the picture perfect town in Switzerland so worth spending a couple of hours there for some photos 🙂 http://www.myswissalps.com/lu cerne
2. You will see plenty of mountains where you are going. There are a lot of mountains in Switzerland so you would need many trips to see them!
3. I have not done the journey so cannot advise.
4. A link to more information http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakebrienz
5. cannot advise.
6. You would really need to work out your itinerary using the timetable http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable to know whether you are comfortable with the travelling times or not 🙂
7. You should bring waterproof gear if you are hiking in June. Here is a link on how to prepare: http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king/preparation
Good choice on the Swiss Travel Pass! http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass
Wishing you a wonderful trip!
Maria.

I wish i read earlier this forum before book the flight ticket, and it seems late June much better time to visit. I also found out Gelmerbahn timetable will only be open on 8th June 2019. what a luck 🙁
